The eyes - they appear reptilian to me.

Visualize a turtle or snake, where the lower as well as the upper lid moves to squint or meet in the middle.

He had this private security along with Secret Service during the primaries and general election.

How did it work?
Were there known problems?
Who was subservient to whom?
Of course, in the White House, there are many more full-time White House employees to engage with, and who will have to interact on a regular basis with the private security forces.
The private security would have to get security clearance from the Secret Service, I presume.

She should speak to the prescriber - presumably a physician- about her concerns,

especially if she has already been prescribed the meds.

They sometimes have sample of the meds to give patients, although most pysch meds are considered controlled substances and perhaps cannot be just given out arbitrarily, even by doctors.

She could also speak with the pharmacist delivering the meds, asking to be informed in advance of any coming changes in availability for herself.

The "Speech" should be exceedingly brief. This one who will

be reading it is not good at reading what is written for him.
It does not sound sincere, coming from him, and he tends to dop his voice at the ending words of sentences.
Not to mention - there is nothing he has to say that is of any interest to me or most Americans.
It will not be a speech for the ages.

I would love to see a large group - the majority present - just turn their backs to him as he reads what is written for him.

Jean Shepherd was on the air in Cincinnati in the early 1950's,

spinning his stories in the wee hours.
Fascinating stuff to a young high school student. - I'd never heard anything like it before, and likely not since.
I should revisit some of the old material one of these days.

That person is also officially ignored in my home.

Vulgarities, insults, and mean words have never had a place in my home and I see no reason to change that policy at this late stage of my life.
When a vulgar, crude person appears on my TV screen, the channel is changed or, if necessary, the TV is turned off. My radio is tuned to an all-classical station, which is ever-so-soothing at those times.
