Perhaps there's a way to take those prototypes and form them into a nice desert home for our soon to be former president.

He and his cronies could go to work everyday at the government operated coal mine to pass the time.

"it's amazing how this has moved from Trump/Russia to Trump/Trump Organization and

Those appalled by this leadership style are often also strangely reassured by it. They imagine that what Trump has brought to the presidency will also leave with him. If this politics is personal, then the repudiation of the person will reform the politics.
P - This is a fateful mistake.
