        We played the concert this weekend and just the announcement of adding the anthem to the program brought enthusiastic applause. There were some fogged glasses, including mine, among the musicians while playing it. The audience was on their feet. It was an emotional experience.

From observation, Mr. Trump is a very intelligent man and knows how to use it.  He obviously takes care that contracts  are written tightly and as favorable as possible to him.  There is no law or necessity to give stuff away in a for profict contract.  Unscrupulous is a different talent and requires doing things that are patently illegal, or at best dependent on the lawyers skills.

I  don't "like" him.  He still looks like the best long term president or politician to sort out the huge problems with the US governance.

Phil, I like your comments - and would like to point out that our President, his Administration, Congress, and all of the State Governors and Legislatures are but a drop in the bucket compared to the jillions of unelected bureaucrats who make daily, major decisions - often seeming to be exercising personal power rather than serving the common good.  They are the Swamp.

Just thinking of my own experience with Social Security, for example - I was denied retroactive benefits by an administrator who stated "I know that you knew".  Or driving to the Mankato office on icy roads under a Travel Advisory to keep an appointment for the purpose of learning a (promised) benefit formula, only to be told sarcastically "Only the computer knows".

When Presidents of both major parties have stated the CIA and FBI are out of control, we really should listen.  Our problems are way beyond "the guy at the top".

Dennis

PS: How do we elect to Congress a (excuse me) dumb a-- woman who states "It takes several men to carry an AR-15"?  She's involved in making law?
