Speaking for myself, the strongest motivator is hate, but 'tis the season so here's something I love: Bruce Springsteen, still in his 20s, performing "Thunder Road," live, in 1978.
Oh, oh, come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land!
Now, back to Trump, rotten from stem to stern. The Trump Companies, the Trump Foundation, the Trump campaign, the Trump inaugural committee, the Trump administration, his two eldest sons, his eldest daughter, her husband--all rotten, corrupt. It's not the biggest news of the week, but some of the details that have come out relating to the shuttering of his "charitable" foundation capture his essence in hilarious miniature. The foundation's biggest historical outlay was a "gift" of $264,231 to the Central Park Conservancy and was used to repair a fountain outside a Trump hotel. The smallest "gift," $7 to the Boy Scouts, covered Don Jr.'s Scout fee for 1989. Trump's harsh criticism of the Clinton Foundation could qualify as the new definition of chutzpah, replacing the child who kills both parents and then uses his status as an orphan to beg the court for mercy.
I left Trump University out of the above catalog of corruption. To qualify, the scam has to be current and ongoing. The foundation is in under the wire.
