We recovered from the Nixon/Watergate scandal, we recovered from Clinton/Lewinski, etc. and we will recover from him. This nation will be fine.

As we all know, Gerald Ford, the 39th president of the United States, was the last POTUS to serve (Aug '74 - Jan '77) who was NOT elected to the office in the general election. His 895 days-in-office remains the shortest in US History for any president
who did not die while in office.
In the '76 election, he was defeated in the 1976 election by a narrow margin (297- 240) by Dimm, Jimmy Carter.
And we all know what those four years of his administration (ie: talk about "bumbling", sir...) were like until the great Ronald Reagan booted him after one term in 1980.
So, yeah, we recovered....but it took time to do so.
Nice thing is....fast forward....Trump has helped the US recover from eight shitty years of lackluster-to-zero growth and a perpetual Apology Tour by the Magical Community Organizer. Another term and his eight years in office will be hailed....by presidential historians in the future...as one if not THE greatest in our history.
Sit back and watch, Scooby Doo....if all of us manage to live long enuff we'll see what I'm saying will indeed come to fruition.
