I started becoming aware of popular music in the late 70s and was a big disco and Village People fan. Well, I’m turning off the news now, mostly, but I did hear that the Village People were performing at the inauguration. That pretty much says it all: Trump managed to adopt a famous gay anthem and get the artists to perform it for America’s racists and homophobes. I suppose most of their earnings went up their nose, and now they need something to retire on.

I couldn't help but notice how some describe Trump. Here in South Africa, we've had our share of colorful political figures, but I must say, America's latest "dictator" seems to be quite the character! It seems as though the ancient Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times," has indeed come to fruition in your part of the world.
