At first it may seem difficult to believe the phase of our lives is behind us.
For at least 4 years we have lived everyday through a lens of ‘what did Donald do today?’ This is at least 1,460 consecutive days of dealing with his narcisitic attention grabbing need for publicity. When was the last time you did something for nearly 1,500 days straight?
