5. So you are saying that when the current rotting (orange) whale carcass is blown up

7. The foul odor of Trump is a stench without compare and

unfortunately removal of Trump will reveal all the more how deep that malfeasance is soaked into our society.

The good news is the same as the bad news in that there is so much to build and repair when Trump is gone.
