ol' Bony declared himself Emperor!
History has shown us, over the course of centuries, that those who crave dominion over the lives of others – POWER – are the last ones who should have it. No good has ever come of allowing psychopaths to attain high office. Trump has put an exclamation point after that obvious statement of fact! As the old saying goes, those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
We might learn something from the horrific fucking disaster that is Donald Trump... but I doubt it.
