#1 Shocking! Daily Beast rushing to set the record straight, exploit the dead, and cast turds upon Pres. Trump's tribute.

A revelation on a par with Rep. Pete King's news on Brennan running intel policy (and probably a lot more) from the Obama White House.

#2 Economy is up. Unemployment is down (especially among African-Americans). USA is closer to fair trade than it was in the last 50 year. Foreign policy works. Illegal immigration (which harms African-Americans more than anybody else) is down. Who the hell cares what Aretha Franklin (or any other entertainer) think outside their (very narrow) area of specialization?

#5 Much of the lumpen leftist base intuits getting their opinions from celebrities much the same way cargo cults operate: "I think the same way that pretty, rich person does. Soon I will be pretty and rich..."

#7 So many of the performers who turned their backs on him once he ran as a Republican loved him back when he was a simple billionaire hotelier/property developer and fellow entertainer via "The Apprentice". I don't doubt he was surprised they all turned on him like rabid dogs -- it's to his credit that he didn't destroy them in the eyes of their other friends by posting clip after clip of them happily thanking, praising, and partying with him over the years.
