So, wouldn't it be funny if that hideous UFC hoop frame on the White House lawn that looks like

the legs of a monster from the movie the Mist, turns out to be the closest thing to Trump's desired Arc de Triomphe?

Not that the next president would keep it, but those of us who lived through this part of history will never forget.

...I got up this morning and I took a look at the news and I took a look at the aerial photographs of the White House and it just hit me that in this moment, in this week, we are looking at the covers of a million books written about the trump era in the future, and a million documentary films.

... that there are probably 100,000 or more books on the civil war, I'm guessing the insanity of the "trump era" will attract a similar number of historians and analysts over the next 150 years.
