Yesterday as soon as I got home from work I hurried to my computer and quickly turned it on. I wasn't in a rush to check my email, my Facebook, or the weather forecast: I knew well what I was jonesing for:
| The latest on Donald Trump. |  |
This past week the online news has been a veritable treasure trove of Trump theatrics of the absurd, every few hours offering another
| scandalous, |  |
 | ...shocking, |
| ...appalling, |  |
 | ...obnoxious, |
| ...or just plain weird new episode. |  |
I've become hooked to "The Trump Show: All Trump, All The Time!",
 |  |
...mine for the inhaling at the click of my computer mouse.
Nor am I the only one with a Trump addiction.
| For the past few mornings when our two daily newspapers arrive Tom and I have been jockeying for the front sections. We've got to have our Donald fix with our cereal. |  |
And there's been plenty to pass back and forth.
In truth, this isn't funny. It is within the realm of possibility that this train wreck I can't stop watching could go chugging to the White House and put our country in the hands of a modern-day Caligula.
| For those for whom the name doesn't ring a bell, Caligula was the extravagant, psychotic Roman Emperor who kept his subjects alternately entertained by his hijinks and terrified by his tantrums, |  |
| ...until his elite Pretorian Guard said "Enough, already!" and put him out of everybody's misery, |  |
 | ...replacing him with Claudius, who was an exponentially less entertaining but far more sensible and productive leader. |
I think I need an intervention. The day after November 8.
