    History will be the judge of it, I suspect (unless the DOJ is at some point), but I do wonder if Trump will make more money after being POTUS than he made before. Certainly “monetizing the presidency” is a criticism one could level at Obama and the Clintons.

    Of course, popularity and celebrity are easier when one is a Democrat. Much harder to be a celebrity when you are Dick Cheney.

    Maybe, but I doubt it. All I know is that removing and replacing the crown on the old stadium field left a late season rectangle of mud for a few years after the World Cup left town. It stank, too.

    Yeah, but you have to admit it’s bush league to talk down a “deal” that really isn’t a “deal” just because POTUS is a marketer of the first degree.

    The demented left has proven that it will bet against the home team all the time if it suits them, even when the home team is actually doing the right thing.

    I thought that Obama meeting w/ the Castros was the right thing, and I think that Trump meeting w/ Un is the right thing. And, I don’t even mind if Trump plays up his personal relationship.

    Yeah, but Concord was indicted, right? So the government has to produce the evidence, I think. Doesn’t matter if the co-conspirators are holed up somewhere. I could be wrong…waiting for the lawyers to show up on the board. Should happen soon.

    Here are some insightful takes from the other side of the aisle (way on the other side) about the media myths surrounding the Trump Kim summit.

    My favorite: Bloomberg ran a headline that said “Trump Gives Away the Store in Singapore.” SMH.

    “Profit is obviously not what motivates us.”

    Said no public company CEO until now. Musk in his internal memo, subsequently posted (by him) to Twitter.
