2. I watched him doing an interview. I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Someone needs to ask him why he wants to be president and watch him try to articulate a coherent thought.

6. He has no policy ideas other than keeping the tax rate low for billionaires.

And 'uniting the country.' That's a pretty specific policy right there.

Out of sheer curiosity, I went there a total of two times since they opened about four ior five years ago. Both times the coffee and food offerings were TERRIBLE. A half-full cup of over burnt bean luke warm coffee and a stale pastry for $5???!

I go across the street to our local fantastic bakery where they make a wide assortment of fresh daily excellent bakery products (I know having grown up in a family full of fantastic bakers) where the perfectly roasted Small World coffee is fresh and perfectly brewed.

Starbucks sucks. Boycott the billionaire slop shops. Support your local merchants.

I thought I read that he left them (for the 2nd time) in 2017.

We used to get Starbucks at work, supplied by my employer. It was OK. Better than that flavored garbage they brought in, later.

Ignore him and he'll be gone in a week or two. There's just nothing two him.

I don't get why anybody would be even the littlest bit worried about this guy having any staying power. Just ignore him and he really will go away.

Even if he's not running it now, it's his legacy at stake.
