And they need to call in the Brujas to cleanse the bad spirits.

They will need truckloads of frankincense, and you have to disable the fire alarms. But I feel it will be well worth the trouble.

Everything in the WH should be monitored. Remember that statuette that he lifted while in Europe?
It ended up in the WH and should be returned.

I'm hoping the curators of the precious items at the WH have either substituted fakes or put alarms on the items.

as First Lady by the designers to promote their products, they belong to the US, not Melania. If she wants to take them she has to pay a fair price. Same goes for any gifts above a nominal value that she or Donny received in the past four years. How much you want to bet she walks off with several thousand dollars worth of merchandise?

All the presidents before wrote elegant letters wishing the incoming president all the luck and all their prayers, leaving it in a drawer in the resolute desk.

Trump is such a small and petty man I think he will not leave a letter of best wishes, but rather he will leave a grievance letter filled with bitterness and bile.
