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
