    I don’t see a problem with this. Your definition of “giving it all” would mean him collapsing at some point. That’s not giving it all, if the goal is to serve the American people.

      Dude, if he was a firefighter and said the same thing, what would you’re answer be? If there is a fire after 8 pm then you are up fighting the fire. Same with a nurse on call, an air traffic controller, etc. This is a requirement of the most powerful position on earth making decisions that literally impact all of humanity and the fate of western democracy.

      If he can’t do it he shouldn’t be running. Go be a prof or join a corporate board or something if you want a 9-5 and a stable bed time. The president of the United States needs to be able to operate on very little sleep and past 8 pm because this is the fucking real world…

        Ok, sure, sure, but at this point, that’s all we got. Give it all (then die and set the political landscape back to Trump-era bullshit), or recognize your limits and respect them in order to do the job as best as you can.

        What should we be doing different that would NOT give Trump the presidency? Do tell, please. I’d love to be wrong.
