My one request.
Sketch me a path on today (which is not good) being the worst this gets.

For level setting:
The president of the country you live in just described immigrants as an infestation, said the media is abetting that, had his administration withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council and it’s only Tuesday. He spent last week demonizing allies in global liberal democracy, enflaming a trade war, while cozying up to one of the worst dictatorships on the planet and using that as planning to meet with another Authoritarian world leader.
