Subject: The Trumps Were Not Invited
"The theme farther west, in Chicago’s Jackson Park, was the same: community, hope, and the power of individuals to create change. For the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, former first lady Michelle Obama and former president Barack Obama welcomed living presidents and first ladies, except the Trumps, who were not invited: President Bill Clinton and Secretary Hillary Clinton, President George W. Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush, and President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden.

The crowd at the center was packed to hear speeches by the Obamas and longtime friends and aides, and to hear performances by Christina Aguilera, Marc Anthony, Common, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Marsai Martin, The Roots, Bruce Springsteen, Tems, U2’s Bono and The Edge, Eddie Vedder, and Stevie Wonder." —HCR

I love that nobody even pretends anymore that Donald Trump is anything other than, as George Will memorably phrased it years ago, "a short-fingered vulgarian." And his wife, a vacuous former sex model, is also clownishly-unworthy of her title.

Excitingly for the remaining faithful, an architectural rendering of the future Trump Presidential Center has been discovered online: https://www.facebook.com/10006...
