To all you Trumpsters out there, take heed!

I just finished watching CNN’s “The Sixties,” and it got me thinking.

Can you imagine if “The Duck” were in office in the early ’60s when JFK was our president and the Cold War was very alive and very real? I can, and I would bet my meager paycheck that many of us would not be here today.

Think about it.
