If we were in grade school, would you be dipping my pigtails in the inkwell just to get my attention? Seriously, I’m flattered that you’re following my SDMB activity closely enough to even comment on it. I feel that I have arrived. Thank you for that. BTW, he does pay me rent. 😉 Hehe. The autotext on my kindle corrected _inkwell_ to _Intel_. How modern, eh? ---

I suspect Trump will be on his victory tour for the next 4 yrs, while Pence is in charge of foreign and domestic policy. ---

Aside from Trump’s tour dates, I suspect he’ll be busy yelling at journalists on Twitter, and starting Trump TV so we can all watch him on the same station. ---

What happens when the crowds die down? Maybe 6 months into his presidency and all he has done is bluster and appointed rich people to take away people’s health care and give supply side tax cuts, what then? I could see Trump getting desperate to have his ego stroked again and saying/doing anything to get attention again. I do wonder where that will lead us. ---

I dined at a restaurant called Houseman on Greenwich Street in lower Manhattan last night. I was served the MOST DELICIOUS french fries I have ever had. I asked the waitress if they had been cooked in goose fat or something. She said no, but the chef had some secret procedure wherein he cut the potatoes, froze them, did something else…it was a confusing three step process. I told her to tell him he should get the Nobel Prize in Potatoes. Just mentioning this because El Trumpo could eat ANYTHING AVAILABLE ON THE PLANET…he could stuff a whole white truffle in his gob, have a duck flown over from Tour d’Argent in Paris, get a ripe pear from the gardens of Naxos, have fries delivered from Houseman on Greenwich Street that would still be hot when they got to Trump Tower. And the stupid fuck eats McDonalds. ---

Ah, Grasshopper, you must understand… MickeyD’s fries are Of the People. And our new P-word is Of the People. So he eats those when the cameras and phones are snapping.

I understand what you’re saying, but I’ve lived in the NY area with Trump In My Face since 1978. This is a guy who craves the cheapest aesthetic: the cheapest women, the cheapest decorators, and the cheapest victuals. No class, in short. I sincerely believe that this is his favorite mouthfood. I am fervently praying for a Harold Washington conclusion, preferably before January. ---

It sounds like you’re merely jealous that someone else has enough good fortune in life to enjoy dining out. Fixating on someone else’s diet and not worrying about your own affairs is probably why little luxuries escape you and fuel your resentment. And “Fuhrer?” Nice job marginalizing millions that were killed by a real fascist by equating President-Elect The Donald with Hitler. I used to think Godwinization was satire. ---

Fixating on someone else’s diet and not worrying about your own affairs is probably why little luxuries escape you and fuel your resentment. I wouldn’t consider dining on anything in Trump Tower to be particularly good fortune much less something to be jealous about. Trump’s thousand dollar tastes on a million dollar budget make him a pitiful laughing stock among the truly successful. Commenting one time in a discussion about his penchant for feeding his face with unhealthy food is hardly a fixation. > [@octopus](#): > > And “Fuhrer?” Nice job marginalizing millions that were killed by a real fascist by equating President-Elect The Donald with Hitler. I used to think Godwinization was satire. Yes Fuhrer. I also called Priebus Field Marshal. Very astute of you to see what I did there. But you’re right, Hitler only ordered the deaths of 11 million people. Trump’s all star team will best that many times over just with changes to healthcare policy alone.
