he is meeting in with foreign leaders. Let it be a foretaste of his prison cell.

But you're right: He may find himself locked up either at home or in a federal facility in a year or so.

I've been thinking: How do you come down from this, either way? Obama was a harvard professor, he's got a whole life of international charitable work ahead of him, not to mention his political mentoring program.

fRump's not worth anything post potus. He'll just invite wanna-be's to his golf courses.

said they wanted trump to die in jail. I agree with that. I just hope he does not die there too soon. Let him live long enough to be truly punished and humiliated.

I was in Sprout City a couple of days ago, about 150 meters from where he'll be appearing in public (sorta). The weather was glorious. Today, it's back to March--cold and rainy. A joint appearance of the Virgin Mary and the ghosts of Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon wouldn't get the people out on the streets today. It is supposed to improve soon.

There would be a greater protest if people here took him more seriously. So far, they think of him as more of a parody of a president. Unfortunately, they are questioning us as an ally and trading partner, too, since we allowed his "presidency" to happen when it was clearly NOT what the country wanted.

Then-Vice President Richard Nixon attacked by demonstrators in Caracas. Let's hope history repeats itself.
