    1. Wants to be beloved by all Americans; will never be loved by even half of Americans.
    2. Desperately wants to preserve his legacy; there is no future where his legacy isn’t tarnished.

    4. Tries to project emotional strength and fortitudinous; late-night comedians live rent free in what’s left of his brain.
