Trump seems like one of those people who does great and then all of a sudden.. is done. The bad life catches up with you, despite the luck of genetics and money for healthcare.

He also seems like an extreme extrovert.. which means that he is actually handicapping himself by not doing things like rallies, which would energize him. He needs the adulation and crowd energy.

I am reunited with my wife this holiday season for the first time since 2019, so it is all good despite the artic weather here in Canada. I hope that everyone at the Bulwark or that reads the Bulwark... indeed, that all people, period, have a safe and joyous holiday season.

“As you grow old, things are taken away from you. Your world gets smaller. Wisdom comes from learning to accept these losses and reconcile yourself to the essential parts of a well-lived life.” So true, JVL! I think you just wrote 1/2 my Christmas Eve toast as the youngest family member can now drink legally. Thanks so much for creating The Bulwark. You have created a diverse media platform that interacts with the amazing community you brought together. As such, you’ve brought me to new platforms (like Substack). You inform and challenge us and provide us with a much needed good laugh. Happy holidays to everyone in The Bulwark universe and my best wishes to all for a healthy and peaceful new year.
