This could be an unexpected, unprovoked, or unfair blow delivered metaphorically for a sudden, emotional shock. These individuals are Trump loyalists and Republican donors.

This image shows how that hillside above the Bosque de La Habana looks today, homes built along the same kind of slope, in the Nuevo Vedado area, giving you a rough sense of the terrain and housing style your childhood home would have shared, even without the specific house itself.
LEGITIMACY MATTERS

Legitimacy is accepting the authority of an institution, This one is a real, well-documented story, and the facts line up. Sports fans are calling it the Trump curse.
The irony is that Balagon is a citizen of three countries: Nigeria, England, and the United States by birthright because his mother was visiting the USA when he was born. Or is it that everything Trump touches goes into the toilet? He went to game 4 in the NBA and the Knicks lost. Now he interferes with FIFA and the USA losses.
I loved my late father. He was an avid sports fan. But he taught me a lesson about integrity that I will remind my kids and grandchildren. What the Red Card Taught, and What FIFA Forgot.
My father, Antonio J. Soto, was a sports fan the way some men are readers or gardeners... it was constant, and it shaped how he saw the world. He used to tell me that winning or losing mattered far less than how you played, and whether you accepted the outcome once the whistle blew. That lesson came back to me this week, watching FIFA unwind a World Cup suspension under pressure from the White House.
CHRIST HOUSE MISSION

Christ House, the Washington respite care ministry for homeless patients, traces its origins to nineteen seventy six... when Allen and Janelle Goetcheus abandoned plans to serve as missionaries in Pakistan after witnessing the scale of poverty and homelessness in the nation's capital. Janelle... a physician... saw that hospitals often discharged uninsured patients before they'd fully recovered... leaving them to recuperate on the streets. She and Allen... a United Methodist minister... joined five others from the Church of the Savior to found Christ House... which opened its doors to its first patient on Christmas Eve... nineteen eighty five... after an anonymous two point five million dollar donation funded the purchase and renovation of a building on Columbia Road Northwest.

POTUS STATE OF AFFAIR
Images
Extreme heat (record 102°F, heat index up to 113°F) and then thunderstorms hit Washington over the July 4th weekend. The heat forced D.C. to cancel its annual parade and temporarily shut down the "Great American State Fair" on the National Mall — dozens of people needed medical treatment, several were hospitalized. Then, just as the "Salute to America" event was getting underway Saturday evening, a thunderstorm rolled in and the Secret Service ordered an evacuation, sending thousands of attendees to shelter in nearby Smithsonian buildings and Metro stations for a couple of hours.
FALSE SOCIAL

When we asked Americans what makes them proud of the U.S., freedom was the most common answer.
Fascism: "A strong nation restored through unity, strength, and decisive leadership."
Communism: "An economically just society achieved through revolutionary state power and collective ownership."
Democracy: "Freedom and self-government through equal political participation, protected rights, and accountable institutions."
