Is it just me, or do Trump's tweets seem more polished and thoughtful now than they did during his first term?

Trump won in 2016. And again in 2024. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Not just you. There is definitely someone in his inner circle this time around that has been able to semi-control his tweets.

And just like that, liberals hate liberal socialist France and want it cancelled.

That's almost something in common conservatives have with liberals!

I saw Notre Dame decades ago. Wish I could see it again.

I was there twice on trips to Europe in the 1980s.

Quite memorable, but to be honest, I think Chartres impressed me more.

Are you sure? Because it's Trump. He may have had a booth set up outside.

I was just thinking . . . if Notre Dame had been in NYC, instead of being completed they'd probably still be arguing and settling lawsuits over zoning, permitting, inspections, hiring of DEI certified contractors, diversity recognition addendums, and all kinds of bureaucratic bovine excrement. Amazingly, the bureaucrats in France - who are known for being officious - didn't put a halt to progress.
