This is Inauguration Day, and today Donald Trump - God help us all - will be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. His supporters are going wild with visions of a wall along the Mexican border, the elimination of Obamacare, a ban on all Muslims entering the country, and lower taxes for corporations and the wealthy. Will Trump truly make America great again? Or will many of us, regardless of age, find ourselves drafted and sent to the Iranian front? I am not optimistic about the next 4 years, but I have been wrong before. Perhaps Trump will become another Earl Warren, whose politics made a 180 degree turn after President Dwight D Eisenhower appointed him Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. But in case you're wondering, I am not taking any cash bets based on that possibility. And by the way, the photograph above is the result of a disruption today in the space-time continuum and does not necessarily reflect the political viewpoints of this Blog.
