Thanks. I'm in Australia, so we missed each other due to time zones - I'm smoking on Sunday. I went with brown, which is my usual in other contexts. I like heat, so that's all good.

Please inform us of which economic trend lines have changed since Donny became President, as opposed to simply continuing the long-term trends established in the recovery from the 2008 crash initiated by Obama. Be specific.

Actually, the evidence is that he cares deeply. Hence the childish lashing out at every perceived slight.

Oh I don't know, because maybe the intelligence services routinely intercept calls to Russian operatives, and they get to hear both ends of any conversation?

He's a thoughtless blowhard operating beyond his constitutional authority - just has Trump has promised to be.

"I think he's just completely narcissistic. He says whatever comes into his mind and can't except the fact that those words can have serious negative consequences."

He's doing it badly though. Way too articulate.

That Trump said "acid wash", and claimed it was expensive ("srm -rf -G /" is free) shows just how clueless he is on the "cyber".

"His selections foreshadow the possibility of a fight over some major tenents of the platform, including minimum wage and the relationship in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

"Tenents"???? Really? The word you are looking for is "tenets". The other, wrong, word is "tenants". "Tenents" is not a word.
