Perhaps he could retire to a golf clubhouse somewhere and turn out a fantasy novel which might just kick the “Harry Potter” stories into the long grass. But I doubt that’ll happen any time soon.
Unless he’s been trying the fish-tank cleaner medication and is having a LSD type of trip?
Anyway, east of 30W we’re all concerned for his health and sincerely hope he makes a full recovery.

Trump is visiting Ben's home State today .He looks pretty well to me.
Well, it seems POTUS still has a very vivid imagination;
It's just another in a long line of loony right wing conspiracy theories. You've got Pizzagate, Obamagate, the people murdered by the Clintons and of course QAnon. It's nuts and it's a cult.
'e must have been furious to see the pictures of him masked at the factory
Actually....he is used to being "unmasked"....so being "masked" would be a change wouldn't it.

The coded TAF is GMT ( or UTC if you prefer ) and the PEMET is converted, as is the rest of the gobbledegook, to local time, depending upon application of daylight saving time or standard time. Personally, I find that I can "read" and understand the code better than the translation after years of practice, but I do find the presentation of "local" time useful.

Local time is fine, but the use of 12 hour clock with am/pm is annoying. What exactly is 12 pm? 12 am? While the correct notation would be 12 noon or 12 midnight, people do not use it and confuse (at least) me. 24 hr time is so much easier to use and understand.

Won't argue with that, still have a "Glycine Airman" watch, the hands of which only go around once in 24 hrs. instead of twice and the dial rim is labelled 1- 24. It has an external 24 hr. bezel that one can turn to local time. Very useful when travelling through various time zones, but needs a bit of practice to read, as one tends to just "look at the picture" rather than "read" a watch - unless you're a digital lover of course. Don't use it regularly now.
"" A Muslim community leader said today the cap should be left at home as it represents something very different from when Muller bought it as a souvenir in 2016, as well as two Hillary Clinton pins.
Aliya Danzeisen of the Islamic Women's Council said the MAGA cap had no place being displayed in a Parliamentary office.
"That hat represents the denial of the freedom of beliefs. That hat represents the denial of minority voices. That hat represents the vitriol that has been harming that nation and has been harming the world for the last four years," Danzeisen said.""
Not the only object of clothing that denies many things. That statement coming from that source is ??????????
