Before I continue with our Queen Mary 2 cruise, a few things about Donald Trump: Want to track his trials?   Click here . The Supreme Court took three hours of oral arguments a week ago, and there seemed to be a vague sense that they might be open to some limited protection for former presidents from criminal liability.  Some associate justice attitudes bordered on the unbelievable.  What will now happen?  Who knows for sure.   Here is a range of what experts thought .  I remain convinced that the Supreme Court will say that Trump is not immune from criminal prosecution, and that this monumental decision will come early this summer, leaving some room for the DC coup attempt or Georgia election interference trial, if not both.  Plus, the Supreme Court will ask Congress to re-examine this matter. Time  magazine, not a fan of Trump, actually interviewed him twice in Mar-a-Lago, and titled their article,  How Far Trump Would Go .  Thus the title is, If He Wins. Said he made a crucial mis

Let me start by answering the posed question.  YES.  Should I be worried?  Not really.  For one, I'm old, and Hawaii is far away from him.  Also, while all recent polls see him ahead of Joe Biden for our next president, there are 244 days left, and Donald Trump shows all the signs of self-destruction, combined with a plethora of court appearances to come.  In short, the margin of difference--the Never-Trumpers--titillated by Nikki Haley, could well still grow and become the crucial factor on November 5. You know by now that  Nikki Haley dropped out of the Republican primary  and it will now be Donald Trump vs Joe Biden, again, on November 5.   Time  magazine today reported: Trump’s triumph gets him another step closer to reclaiming the presidency and pursuing   a draconian policy agenda unlike any the nation has ever seen. He has   vowed   to round up and deport millions of undocumented immigrants; reimpose his travel ban on Muslim-majority countries; purge the federal bureaucracy
