I took a drive through Palm Beach, Florida this past Sunday. And why not, since it was a pleasant, sunny afternoon after almost a week of rain. I took the photograph above at the corner of South Ocean Boulevard and Worth Avenue, showing tourists posing for photographs in front of the Palm Beach Clock Tower, a local landmark constructed in 2010 to mark the start of the Worth Avenue Shopping District and to commemorate the former site of the Palm Beach Pier, which was torn down in the 1960s after a series of hurricanes damaged it. This photo also shows a convertible flying both a blue "Trump 2028" and a red "Trump Was Right About Everything" flag. I watched as people passing by on the sidewalk would get into the car to be photographed by the proud owner. This on the day that peace talks between the U.S. and Iran to stop the war Trump started fell apart. The mind boggles. The beach itself, by the way, is mostly gone due to the severe erosion caused by last week's storms. Perhaps Donald Trump will donate the money to restore it. Trump is, after all, a proud resident of Palm Beach and obviously still Palm Beach's favorite son, despite everything. Go figure.
