Well Bill todays input sounds like a high level summary of DJT's life. For me it's sad many of the good things he has done can easily be overshadowed by the list things that most business people and regular working people would not brag about. History will not be kind to Trump. We all make our bed and then we have to lie in it. Yes I voted for him three times but I don't appreciate a lot of things he has done. I am glad we have a fighter in the White House. Too bad we don't have real fighters in the House and Senate.

Thanks for the Trump insight. It's a perspective that I know a lot of MAGA supporters have not thought about. Bill, I really appreciate your efforts to be objective.

Does anybody think that Bill is using AI. He knows how to poke the dragon. I have read at least 50 dissertations about the life of Donald Trump in just this term alone in this newsletter. We get it, you don't like him, possibly hate him, and feel that he is the potential cause of all problems including obesity and cancer. Move on, because if something don't change, I will not be renewing next year. Everything you write is about someday something is going to happen, you just don't know when. I will answer the question for you, yes, everything does happen eventually, and we all don't know when. It is called life. I think you need to get one.

Well, after a week in Nice and Cannes, my son arrived in Paris today. In keeping with the French way, he too is running out of money. Thus, the 3:30 AM text I received from him this morning. As for Trump, good points and bad aside, he presides over a hopelessly broken system. Perhaps we should have created a system where a Congress, accountable to the people who elected them, took their responsibilities seriously. We would only need to choose intelligent, honest and moral people for the job. How hard could that be?

Sorry Bill, one word that should never be used in any piece about DJT is "unmolested". DJT never left anything or anyone unmolested in his entire life !

Bill, I guess the quote from Carlson is supposed to be informative, enlightening, revelatory. All it is is ponderously obvious. It's the way it's been most of my life. I'm sure the motormouth Carlson has said SOMETHING both intelligent and original sometime in his life. Find it, if you can, and quote that. if I want lameness, I've got jillions of alternatives. Best always. PM

Well apprenticing to the mobsters in New York in the 60's and 70's and applying that knowledge in the present era, while confusing to some and taking points for others, may well be what is necessary in this world of high inflation, duplicitous politics and society ending world wide threats. Me thinks Nixon and Kisincher may have reacted in the same way but with less understanding of the statigies needed for the present world.
