Trump This!


My friend Stuart (seen in the photograph above) and I had burgers and beers at the Old Chicago restaurant on South Colorado Boulevard here in Denver last night, and as usual, the topic of conversation was dominated by the soon to be inaugurated Donald Trump.  Trump is like a car accident you pass by - you just can't stop yourself from looking  - or in this case -  talking about it.  While Stuart is not wildly optimistic (to put it mildly) about the future of the country under Trump, I was surprised to hear he thought Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense - know to friends and loved ones as "Mad Dog" - was a good choice.  Of course, Mad Dog and Trump have diametrically opposed world views, and so it will be interesting to see how this plays out in the coming months.  When Trump gets insulted by an article about him in Le Monde and decides to invade France, will Mad Dog be able to stop him?  We shall see.
