Remember the days of obsession with politicians with charisma?

It was maddening but fear not those days are gone. Now you have a leering frowning old man that opens his mouth almost solely in praise of a Stalinist Gangster throwback. His idea of a joke is grabbing female genitals.You would not want your daughter, sister, girl friend anywhere near this man. As far as sharing a beer I would be afraid of poison slipped in away from sight. Now I could see him throwing an orgy or a party where you get forbidden fruit but even if you are into such spectacles suspect they are for future blackmail or intimidation by lawyers. Then there are the Trump children that elicit in me visions of Uday and Qusay. Actually the demeanor of Donald is strongly reminiscent of Saddam Hussein. Donald intends to RULE in fear of Twitter proclamations. I expect him at some time to
at least get his own app maybe generate some ad revenue.
