Many friends and neighbors wait with baited breath for the re-entrance or re-emergence if you will of America's Matriarch-Melania Trump. In fact, our little sewing club out here near Des Moines, which consists mainly of retired school marms who taught in the for-profit private sector, plan to make Melania inspired leopard print shawls which they one day hope to be able to sell on the home shopping network. As positive as this might seem, they say that there could be many potential pitfalls due to the American public's propensity to become easily distracted by news shows such as, "Adderall Hour with Judge Jeanine" and/or "Mouthing Platitudes with Piers Morgan". But, in light of this, they've recently met with a young and handsome lobbyist out of DC who shits dollar bills and SUV's to discuss the market potential for their Melania inspired shawls. He said that they shouldn't be so preoccupied about the public's propensity for distraction, and if they only hurry, in due time they will be able to outsource shawl production to a facility manned by Eskimos in Trump's Greenland. So, many can't understand the negativity when entrepreneurship is evidently on the rise in the good ol' USA!

I'm sure he will refocus his attention on that again via hot Taiwan "debates" eventually.
