Bloviation it is! I did not watch ANY of yesterday's coronation but I'm feeling very ill today as a result of his actions on Day One. And although he did NOT get a mandate, he and his ilk certainly act like it. Hopefully, his impending destructive objective will be held in check by a congress that has a few more profiles in courage than what they've demonstrated so far.

Besides being an interesting post, as always Charlie, I've learned a new word - bloviation. Thank you for that.

Having watched the votes from each State come in last year, while staying with my son in Nevada, I'm very switched on to the fact that t(his) victory is not a landslide at all. But the way he comes across to so many millions of people around the world, the impression he gives, is that he has the mandate of the people, that he is the chosen one, to 'make America great again'. We'll see. I'm not holding my breath over here in the UK.
