91. The thrill is gone
Mon Jun 28, 2021, 08:39 AM
Jun 2021

TFG no longer has the federal gov't at his bidding. No more hoards of secret service taking over, no more commanding every resource, no more having the biggest loudspeaker on the planet (official and social media), no more AF1 throwing a solid aluminum overcast over the best venue available. It's now a third rate carnie where even the geek show is boring.
