Unfortunate. Most unfortunate, methinks. Where is hope for this corrupted world when the USA no longer leads? Is the axis of Iran-Russia-Red China-N. Korea inevitable? Starting to feel that way. ~ gw

This is very clever. Honestly I do not know what to think. I can't stand his arrogance yet I liked some of the things he did in the past. Sadly I now believe there is no uncorrupted party and puppets lead all the world.

Egoism and egotism rule the world, Andrea. I wonder if a little poetry might soften their hearts.
