1. Do you really think that Donald can play Chess?

2. My neighbor that lived down the street had her dad come live with her when he developed dementia.

He had an obsession with keys. He wanted to drive his car. My neighbor made up sets of keys that

didn't fit his car and kept them all around the house so she could hand him keys to keep him pacified.

He'd take the set of keys, go out to the car, and try them. After a while he'd give up in frustration and my neighbor

would distract her dad with something else. Is the ballroom Trump's latest set of keys? If the Republicons give

him 1 billion dollars for a gaudy ballroom that would be some pretty expensive keys! Seems like it would be much

simpler to just put him in the nursing home! With everyone suffering economically the Republicons are tanking

their chances in the midterms if they give him this ballroom.

3. Awhile back there was an attorney on MS NOW who recommended that his lawyers place him in a mental facility

Which would be preferable and keep him out of prison. But he already knew that his lawyers wouldn't consider it - they were getting their instructions from the felon-in-chief.
