A million hearts to you if I could. Harding and normalcy are one of my biggest bugbears.
Possibly, though, that was a reference to historical presidential idiocy? Cheeto isnt the first prez to invent his own lexicon (bigly.) We might not be giving @euansmith enough creditā¦

I remember cable news using the word normalcy after 9/11, as in returning to it. It didnāt sound right then either, at least to educated ears. I guess itās peopleās eternal drive to create buzzwords.

Apparently, Harding didnāt actually coin the word, but popularised itā¦ or un-popularised it would appear. Thatās according to that Merriam-Webster anyhow.
But, anyway, all words are āmade-upā

As exciting as it has been for his narcissism to be POTUS, he undoubtedly has urges for all sorts of dealings, both with business and with porn stars, that he can only really follow through with as a former POTUS. After 8 years of this confinement, heāll be fine with leaving, as he says, āthat dumpā of a White House.

I hope thatās true, but thereās a whole lot of other stuff that very well may be done to him if heās no longer POTUS.
