He’s made us realize how great President Obama was and is. Melania has done the same for Michelle Obama. We were so lucky to have them. They make me so proud to be an American.

He would say to his visitors, "look, I don't own the place. This is just a rental."

I'm sure some people swiped the coffee cups anyway. They all have the presidential insignia on them, as do the paper napkins.

did we fully appreciate having an intelligent, graceful, thoughtful, conscientious, dignified, well-spoken, considerate, and delightful president?

oh, if only to have him back -- especially now
