Where I currently live, there are many experiencing memory loss. Which is why they are in Memory Care. Some linger on and on. Some die quickly due to other health issues. Some are just plain old and their bodies wearing out. Some are old, but they still have their wits about them.

In TACO Don's case, the body and mind are rapidly declining at a pace faster than a Hare's. No amount of makeup, fresh Depends, or breath mints will mask the deterioration taking place before our eyes. He will take a fall in public and it will be grand to the naked eye. The reality that death is imminent will stimulate our senses for the time being.

Then comes the question, "What next?" JD does not have the love of the people. He represents the regime that nobody likes. As with the Roman Empire that crumbled under the weight of its own hubris, so will JD and the MAGA movement.

Forgive me for the analogies and metaphors.
