Online Public Relations Thoughts

 A fool and his money are soon parted.

If only the public sector had control over falsehoods as science appears to have. 

Trump is testing the loyalties of Republican Senators with this pick.  If he gets it through, he will have proven that the senators are lackeys of the White House -- a strong message to out-of-power Democrats.

President Biden welcomed President-elect Trump to the White House yesterday and spent two hours with him discussing national and international issues.  Biden wants to ensure a smooth transition to a man he intensely dislikes.  While the visit was in the tradition of the peaceful transfer of power, Biden might be whistling in the dark over the outcome, especially if Trump is seeking vengeance for his loss to the president in 2020.  Trump's radical appointments point in that direction.  There is little Biden can do unless he takes similar illegal steps that Trump used on Jan.6, 2021.  And, he won't do that.  Biden is a study in tragedy -- a competent president who is too old to remain in office.  It's clear now that he would have lost to Trump even if he did run and did not turn the campaign over to Harris.  Now in his declining years, he will have to watch Trump undo much of what he has accomplished.  Sad.
