18. I just watched . . .

. . . something on CNN. I think it was the drawings for the FIFA tournament -- Trump was there, center stage, FIFA executives, lots of handshakes, smiles.

Trump reminded me of a 2-yr-old at his birthday party where he was the center of attention. If you haven't seen this, watch for it, it is sickening to think that this man is the President of the US and is supposed to represent us -- prancing around the stage, fake dancing, just so he is the center of attention -- the FIFA governing body knows a sucker when they see one

THEN I HAD AN IDEA: Want to enshrine the Affordable Care Act into law forever? Congressional Democrats should introduce legislation establishing national health insurance, or, Medicare for All, and name it "TrumpCare" -- it will pass with unanimous voice vote and he'll sign it immediately.
