3. He is the person I most regret was never President

I noticed that both he and Teresa were among the people at Pope Francis's funeral in the NYT photos.

I am concerned by the way MAGA has some real degree of success in rewriting history. According to them, Trump restored America's economy creating the best economy ever. In fact, he inherited a thriving economy that was greatly stimulated by an unsustainable tax cut, but which was slowing even before COVID. They are now speaking of the terrible Biden economy, when in fact, Biden and the fed, avoided the expected recession and led the strongest economy in the world. He actually took credit for the late 2023/early 2024 upswing claiming it was in anticipation of his Presidency AND then blamed Biden for the spring 2024 economy!

Looking at the attacks on universities, law firms and media companies, I worry that a long unbalanced media will become even less balanced.
