9. Trump teeters between jealousy of Obama and JFK.

He is insanely obsessed. It's funny that this occured right after his name got removed from the Kennedy Center.

The Obama Center opening was one of the most joyful occasions I have seen in a while (and CNN started the day with coverage of the Knicks' parade, which was also a happy time).

I mostly watched coverage on MSNOW but switched a few times and what was the most amazing thing was watching the reporters. They acted like rescue dogs off a leash at the dog park, realizing that life can actually be fun. It's like we all forgot that.

Meanwhile Trump is probably fuming that Juneteenth is a Federal holiday and is plotting how to get rid of it.
