Since he's in Munich they could take him to a beerhall and splain it to him, if he has a decade or two to spare. They also now allow "The Producers", aka "Springtime for Hitler", to be performed - wonder if he or Mother would see the parallels.
(btw, Bruno Ganz, aka Hitler, died yesterday, not too old, shame. I saw him first as an angel in Berlin with Peter Falk, Nick Cave and a cheesy checkered jacket - guess he gets his wings back now but loses color)

I along with everyone else loved Bruno, he is a real angel now.

After all that Trump signs bill blocking transfer of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey
Trump signs bill blocking transfer of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey
But then, of course, there's that he doesn't read briefings much less bills he's signing....
His blather, it's all B.S. P.R. for the base. Including at big meets like the conference, someone like Pence has to do the Trump talking points. But are they really being executed? I wonder sometimes if he has a clue what foreign policy is being executed. Except for tariffs? Like Tillerson said "dumb as a rock."
