I recall a FIFA President Sir Stanley Rous who awarded me an Art Prize in 1966.
England won The World Cup, in a very different era of Presidents JFK, and Lyndon Johnson enacting The Civil Rights Act, prohibiting employment discrimination based on race, colour, religion, sex, and national origin.

These appalling people, rightly described as deplorable, should never be allowed near levers of power, or anywhere near our Exchequer!
They are a national disaster.
How much has it cost us to come out of Europe in lost exports? And how much will it cost us to rejoin?

Consider renaming ‘White House’;
Some folks have taken the colour literally as a supremacist status.
Rebuild East Wing, and Rose Garden.
Beef up Constitution.
Only allow presidential candidates with IQ higher than Trump’s.

They know they can buy most people with money, it’s their gangster reasoning, which often succeeds, so they like the power that comes with the wealth, to abuse others, and outspend their victims on legal costs.
It’s takes a certain kind of reptilian mind in certain men with dinosaur attitudes.

I read this the other day which made complete sense:
Trump, Putin, Musk and Netanyahu are actually fellow citizens of a borderless, lawless society designed to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else. Politics and patriotism are just a cover.”

Thank you.
Similarly, wrecking the East Wing of the White House before agreeing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a perfect metaphor for Trump's economic policy.
The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

A cautionary note on rich wasters…
Titanic was sunk by its own ballroom. To accommodate a grandiose high ceiling in the ballroom, a watertight bulkhead had to be lowered, allowing water to flow from one flooded section into the next.
Had that not happened, the ship would have stayed afloat.
