How petty is DonOLD? He recently took over as chair of the board of the Kennedy Center, and announced that Tiffany & Company will be redesigning the medallions for the next honors ceremony. Since 1978 James Baturin, 86, has made around 255 medallions for every Kennedy Center Honors recipient.

Anyone notice there are no Trump rallies? Does he believe he don’t need them anymore because republicans will win the next election anyway because of the way they claim they won the last election, by interfering and manipulating. Or is his health failing and he don’t have the energy.
