How time does fly, eh? It was June 15, 2015. For We, the People, here in the US of A it started out “normal” enough. The national news of the previous day reported on Jeb Bush announcing he was going to run for President in 2016. The Supreme Court was mulling over the Affordable Care Act subsidies. The Office of Personnel Management reported on having been hacked, affecting 14 million people. Rachel Dolezal resigned as Spokane NAACP leader after reports revealed she was white (!) The nation was reeling from the most recent mass shooting at a church in South Carolina, which initiated debate on Confederate symbols. L.A. enacted a $15 an hour minimum wage.

Oh, and the U.S. military bombed Libya in response to an al-Qaeda leader accused of attacking an Algerian gas plant, causing the deaths of 38 foreign hostages in 2013. The attack was one of those those “surgical” strikes that took out its al-Qaeda target, along with several civilians. In other words, June 15, 2015 was just another day of global, national and regional happenings that did not effect approximately 99.999999% of the people around the world.

Then came June 16, 2015. That is the day in which one single human being out of the 7.4 billion humans on Earth at that time made a headline-catching announcement. This person was very well known at the time, being the host of a highly-rated reality show. He was also the man behind several failed businesses. This person, prior to 6-15-2015, had also been accused of sexual misconduct, although not charged or found liable in any of the accusations. His most serious legal problems in 2015 related to fraud charges involving a university named after him. Several defamation suits had been filed against this person. He hosted that reality show from its inception in 2004 until 2015. NBC, the network broadcasting the program, clearly chose to ignore his rather unflattering personal and legal issues as long as his ratings were high. And the ratings were massive, garnering 20.7 million viewers in its first season. This person left his lucrative gig with NBC in 2015 before that aforementioned headline-catching announcement alluded to earlier: he, like Jeb Bush, also wanted to run for President.

A lot of people found this announcement to be laughable. He was a reality TV host with a lot of charfacter flaws and legal challenges. But, as with his TV show, he was a ratings magnet. Whatever. He blustered and boasted, condescended and insulted. Kind of cartoonish. How could such a person become President?

Now, 3,937 days later, he is President of the United States, for the second time, though not elected in consecutive terms. As of today, in 2026, he has been charged and convicted of 34 felony counts of fraud, as well as a civil conviction of sexual assault. Regardless, he is still POTUS. After losing the 2020 election, he and his hardcore followers attempted to overthrow the government to remain in office. He failed to succeed in that attempt. Nonetheless, he is again POTUS.

As counter-intuitive as such an unethical, morally challenged man becoming POTUS once let alone two times, that is the discombobulating, dumbfounding reality for a majority of the country that has never voted for him. His many naysayers now are enduring the consequences of such a dubious person being seemingly above any reasoning, any law.

All I have written here is based on fact. As such, he being POTUS makes zero sense. Zero. Bereft of any logical, practical, political reasoning. The last 10-plus years have accumulatively been an assault on common sense, and overall sensibility. The alarming facts that preceded his announcement on 6-15-2015, and the unflattering facts that have followed, when objectively appraised, are by now a not-so-nascent form of what I label as psychopathia POTUS-itis, a new form of mental illness that will certainly be denied coverage in any heath insurance plan. No clinical studies have been done on it. Life has stress sources from all directions. POTUS-itis cannot be isolated and made any more maddening than constant wars, mass shootings, xenophobia, mysogeny, racism, transphobia, vote supression, genocide, rising gas, food and housing costs. Given how many people are already showing symptoms of these well documented stress points, with more succumbing to one or the other every day, the coverage specific to Psychopathia POTUS-itis would be too expensive to treat in isolation. Seriously, treating a couple hundred million people suffering from this alleged condition would mean the approximate 100,000 licensed clinical pyschologists in the U.S. would each have 2000 patients!

That would be pure insanity to attempt treatment.

Try yoga, Tai chi, Qigong, Reiki, music therapy, meditation, acupuncture, mindful breathing, gardening, Tarot or oracle cards. Remember, that today, day 3,937 since that guy made that annnoncement, it is still the first day of the rest of your life.

Good luck and remember, Earth is expected to be caput in about a mere one billion years. By then maybe we humans will have learned to make smarter choices. Hmm. Nah, nevermind.
