Random ponderings
As summer rolls into heat and humidity, I retreat indoors and I begin to ponder things.
We know about Donald Trump and women, but what about Trump and men? I ponder about his bromance with Putin. Is it “Vlad’s” manly ability to ride a horse shirtless and not sunburn, or his ability to lie with such aplomb? We know it was Trump’s honor to meet Putin, including their long intimate talks at the G-20 summit, and I ponder where this bromance will lead. Will Trump make a deal, or will Putin break his heart with that steely look and his even greater ability to sell snake oil?
I ponder about Putin and Obama. They seem to have taken up residency in Donald’s head. Do they have a conversation?
Finally, I am wondering how Trump deciphers the First Amendment to the Constitution. He has free speech tweeted to perfection. That is, only for him. Free press has to be carefully monitored lest it be truly free.
August will be hot and humid, and I will continue to mull these thoughts over, including whether Eric Trump is in fact the smarter brother. I can hardly wait for September. GWENNETH L. PRICE PICARD
