Blunderaire

Trump’s only financial success, independent of his father, came from him being paid to appear on a TV show. It is extremely unlikely that he has ever personally been a billionaire.

Pain in the Neck

Being free of Covid is quite a relief. One symptom that hit, indicating there was more than a cold at work, was a terrible headache. It felt like a hangover, but without alcohol being involved.

Positively Negative

Three weeks seems to be the time it takes after Covid to return to normal. Whatever normal is after 9/11, after the Financial Crisis, after January 6, and after the pandemic’s arrival.
