I vote Trump in '16 & '20 as only chance to overturn the deep state. Hillary would have started the kinetic war on Iran immediately, so my vote at least helped buy Iran more time to prepare.

This time I didn't vote, as I will not choose between chocolate genocide & marmalade genocide.

I pray for peace, but see little hope of it with Trump. I have seen the video of his son-in-law drooling over the prospect of developing seafront real estate once Gaza has been razed.

Now I have read from 2 reasonable sources that Trump has put neocons in charge of his transition team & 1 source that Pompeo is being considered for something. If true, I expect the forever wars will continue.

Trump's fist pump affected me at 1st, but that quickly faded. My dogs have twice been attacked by packs of aggressive, unsupervised loose dogs, including in the 2nd case 3 large pit bulls. In both cases I was at least as courageous as Trump, putting myself between my pup & the attackers. I have wrestled with a pit bull trying to free my pup's face from its jaws.

Once the adrenaline & protective instincts wear off, you can end up much more cautious where you walk. So it see me s entirely possible that Trump's appearance of courage has been replaced. I've never known a narcissist willing to sacrifice his or her life for anyone. They love their own lives entirely too much.
