I think he may have already done that.

Actually, Trump may be doing a public service by casting a bright light on the unsavory underbelly of a significant portion of the GOP base.

Just don't move to Brooklyn. That's a very scary place full of brown people wearing masks.

Anyone (black, brown, pink, yellow) wearing mask is scary.

Long ago I told you to visit Brussels. Or probably you should check Malmo.

This the only day of the year TIME is referenced anywhere.

It is the alternate universe Playboy. "Yes, I bought an issue of TIME, but I only get it for the pictures."

TIME = Reader's Digest = People.

I remember when TIME and LIFE had some decent writing.

Time's "Person of the Year" has never been "Nice Guy of the Year". It has always been based on a person's impact on events. Actually, it was more that way in the past than it is now. The outcry that greeted Time naming the Ayatollah Khomeini Person of the Year made the editors back away somewhat from controversial figures.

I hope that Angela and Hillary will be a fruitful "duet" in the next years. Fruitful for our global village.

And this is what Obama tweeted in German:

"HERZLICHEN GLÜCKWUNSCH!"

A very nice gesture!
