Joe,
Thanks. These are indeed trying times.
But what leaves me confused is the fact that America chose him to power
in 16 and almost chose him in 20.
So its high time that intellectuals, thought leaders and psychologists
think about what's the matter with almost half the population of US
rather than analyzing Trump. _*Trump is a symptom, not the cause of what
is happening to America.*_
I am worried, because I love the country and its free spirit.
TY
