Back to square one?

 

Donald Trump may have narrowly won a presidential election, but his citizen support has been sinking ever since. His support is now in seriously negative territory. Some of the reasons have been mentioned on previous blog postings. At age 79, Trump seems to be exhibiting signs of the dementia that runs in his family. But the idea of him being replaced by his vice president, JP Vance, who could then run again, is not particularly enticing. Democrats are in quandry about what to do next. Maybe they should just let Republicans continue to self-sabotage, as already seems to be happening. 

While blocking visas for other workers, Mr. Trump made sure to bring in the workers he needed on his own properties.

Is there some irony in the following decison by Mr. Trump?

Emails Reveal Epstein Called Trump a ‘Maniac’ With ‘Early Dementia’

Dear readers, If this posting seems rather jumbled, that's because I am not being permitted to rearrange  items in logical order--I can only add new items, one right after the other, not put them in a desired sequence. In this posting, insertions are simply not being permitted at all, If I were more expert, I would know how to fix this, and will have to see if the problem continues in the next posting, so will move on to that now.
