The other day, Trump made a statement about China's President Xi becoming President-for-Life.

"He's now president for life. President for life. And he's great," Trump said. "And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll give that a shot some day."

I've read your posts for a long time, elleng, so I know you're a true liberal. Was you musical choice influenced by Trump's words?

My musical choice is (and they usually are) influenced by my radio station's choices!!!
