Not to mention what foreign travel does for his anemic ego - thousands of ss agents surrounding him, traffic stopped, airports shut down, trains stuck in stations, streets cleared, millions of dollars expended - all just for him. That, along with slinging mud like crazy at whoever or whatever is causing him angst in hopes that some of it might stick is the other less than endearing mark of the true politician.

Are you saying we should not punish any of evil doers in the current administration?? Or that we can't heal if we punish?? Bonnie,

I just hope that he doesn't decide he needs to do something to prove that he is still relevant.

No matter what he does, no mattewr how illegal and/or unprecedented, no one will attempt to hold him accountable. If he is out of office his successor will talk about "Healing the Country" and not about punishing the miscreants.
