I thought Trump liked Boris Johnson more. I wonder why he didn't invite him. There are murals of both of them kissing everywhere in the art scene in the US and Britain.
Anyway, the Republicans seem to think it's a good idea to bring in foreigners into American politics. I thought that might confuse the Trump base, as they are confused already. I'm confused as well. I was confused with Brexit!
Maybe you can give me a clue about how Trump's brain works. My thoughts are "What the he** are you thinking!" (It merits an exclamation mark, for hyperbole.) less

He had his hands full with his resources, helping victims. But when Obama showed up a few days later, he told them he was giving them $27 million.
Trump showed up the week before, in spite of being told not to come. Especially for a photo shoot. So what did he bring to help the victims?

In the Gospel of Luke, the parable is introduced by a question which asked for clarification on a key word in the "Great Commandment."
Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"
He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your mind, ; and your neighbour as yourself ."
He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."
But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbour?" -- Luke 10:25-29
Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and bea... less

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
What does this mean for:
- free exercise of religion
- freedom of speech
- freedom of the press
- right to peaceable assemble
- right to petition government for redress of grievances
Hmm. Is the amendment even still that important to make America great again? Seems not being the case for some people within the political spectrum, no? less
