Post-Trump Reality: The First 50 Days.

In the early morning hours of November 9, 2016, the presidential election was called for Donald J. Trump.

I began documenting Post-Trump Reality on Twitter, once a day, for the first 50 days of our new President-Elect. It started as a sort of existential weather report, but soon morphed to include thoughts, feelings, little stories, jokes, and news items. It is one concerned citizen's daily gut-check who happens to live in our nation's Capital.

I've collected them all here on Inauguration Day as an impromptu diary for posterity, or something like it:

The saddest part is that Donald Trump is the symptom, not the disease.#NotMyPresident
