This is how the story Trump starts to articulate a painful reality: He could lose in 2020 looked on the opening page of Politico this morning.
I changed that photo to this:
Then my fantasy images got a lot darker.
I am hoping that I am not engaging wishful thinking but I have it on the authority of my very smart politically savvy physician that Trump is going to loose in a landslide. I recently had an in-person checkup and in our follow-up Zoom consultation where he told me the results of my blood work added to the conclusions from my physical was that I was completely healthy.
“Healthier than Trump,” I asked. He laughed, agreed, and then we spent our time talking about Trump and that’s when he said he was convinced he would lose in a landslide.
The Politico article addresses this too.
I could opine as a therapist about what I think will happen to him psychologically when he loses, and when he eventually has to vacate the White House. Instead I’d rather make pictures which is a kind of self-therapy for me.

My images get even darker and more violent.

This seems to be a challenge diary to come up with dark thoughts. Okay, here’s one more inspired by Kathy Griffin.

This appalling story, Watchdog group accuses Amy Coney Barrett of “unconscionable cruelty” in teen rape case is on Salon.
"After a 19-year old pregnant prison inmate was repeatedly raped by a prison guard, Amy Coney Barrett ruled that the county responsible for the prison could not be held liable because the sexual assaults fell outside of the guard's official duties. Her judgment demonstrates a level of unconscionable cruelty that has no place on the high court," Kyle Herrig, president of the progressive watchdog group Accountable.US, told Salon.
It led me to make this image depicting Amy Coney Barrett as the cruel Aunt Lydia from Handmaid’s Tale.
Below is the image I made for my dairy about her. Obviously, this latest revelation proves she’s much much worse than even those giving her the benefit of the doubt thought. If I was writing it today I’d use the image with the cobra.
If you have an idea for an image using this template put it in the comments and I’ll see if I can make one.
This brings me to the diary I wrote on October 2nd:
I admit, my thoughts about what I fantasize happening to Trump are dark. Rather than writing them, I draw them.
