This should be the entirety of the portrait. No actual image of Trump. That would defile the White House.

Let’s get the rest of the races called so Joe can get to 306.

Actually, most of the money spent on 'the wall" was just fixing the sections needed for Drug interdiction.

Very little of trump’s wall was actually built, thank goodness.

I wonder if he’ll go to FL to live as he claims, or try to go back to NYC? He’s got to know by now that most of NYC loathes him. (And yes, I know some folks think he’ll leave the country, but I don’t - and really, who would have him?). And I wonder if Melania will go with him?

Interestingly Newsmax has lashed itself to the sinking ship in full support of the current occupant, and is refusing to join in the “premature” recognition of Biden’s win.
