"...I take this as a manufactured publicity by the Anti-Trump forces & Dems of a normal function during a change of presidents, wherein the new president accepted the resignation..."

Your welcome. And, with all seriousness, I never probably would have seen so much of Germany and Western Europe without the support of taxpayers like you. At least my time there was spent in a Cold War, rather than a Hot War that many of your and my relations were sent to Europe, and other places during WWII.
