The first thing I did this morning was to repost this image I mashed up in 2016 with the slightly revised caption: "Still the worst 'Twilight Zone' episode ever."

For those who don't recall the 1963 "It's A Good Life" episode, it's about a spoiled omnipotent child who holds the adults in his world in terror, causing them to tell him everything he does is "good."

In this sequel, he's even more powerful, and he's out for revenge, because he knows that half the world thinks what he does is not good, but very, very bad.

Needless to say, I hope Donald Trump proves us wrong. And I for one am going to do what I did in 2016 and give him the benefit of the doubt.

The last time I did that, it lasted until his "American Carnage" inauguration speech, and his declaration of war with the American news media.

I figure we're well past all of that now, and I do want Trump -- and his Trump Country -- to prove me wrong.

In the meantime, I'll continue my media criticism for those who want to read it.
