I like Trump’s comment about it being impossible to replace him.

I hope that’s true

You have that wrong. It is the saddest day of his life, especially when he fails to meet his maker. I hope he likes hot weather.

What a sad day. I am stuck in a waiting room for a while, and CNN is on the tube. I don’t know how long I can take it.
