Your point: "So much losing, you almost have to feel sorry for the former guy," would be true for truly righteous monks and nuns, naïve people, and those drawing a paycheck from his business cartels.

For the rest of us, who have been mentally tortured by the Secessionist-In-Chief's outrageous behavior and statements, there is schadenfreude. We hope that at last retribution will come for this sociopathic, shallow, intellectually lazy huckster.

During his "career" Trump cut corners, and gambled that his outright illegal actions would never come to court. He is not stupid and knows many of his actions are wrong, yet rationalizes ALL other people are the same.

He lacks empathy, the ability to stand in someone else's shoes and understand how they feel. His statements about being sad when "friends" die, is genuine, but not empathetic. His self-centered sadness wells up because that person who helped grow his cartel's profits will not be there to continue that role.

That point is key: Trump has no sense of guilt, similar to a wild animal being unable to conceptualize good or bad. But there is a difference. He has a skewed concept of good and bad. Since his decisions are always self-centered, any words or actions that further his wants are good, and those that block his desired outcomes are bad, evil, and criminal.

I wish the former guy good health during his current legal issues.

But I cannot be a hypocrite. I also hope that after the legal processes he has a long illness, unable to speak and write, so he can reflect on an afterlife and Psalm 10:13 “Why does the wicked man revile God and His ways? Why does he say to himself, 'I won’t call me to account?'"

My Trump Leaving This World Fantasy goes like this: Whenever and however his departure comes, I hope it comes in a way that allows him awareness of all as he's drawing his very last breath, and his mind has just enough time to form and ponder ever so briefly the thought: "Oh, shit. What if there really is a God?"

Great!! He'd never know about Pascal's Wager --- which is now used in gambling.

Dear Snowflake, learn about your cult leader's constant insulting of people who question his reality.

Dear campus clone of no critical thinking ability. There is nothing from the Atlantic worth reading related to Trump.

And check Old Joe for how he responds when challenged.

Snowflake, I did check and Forbes (that famous liberal economics periodical) states that Uncle Joe has been caught in lies/innuendo of falsehoods 32% of the time, while the Secessionist-In-Chief was busting records at 63%.

Let me help you with the math...almost 2/3rds of the utterances by the former guy were either lies or innuendo of falsehoods, while Uncle Joe was less than a third.
