I notice that your prediction was right =bout Trump's avoiding the White House as far too primitive. Must=be driving
the Secret Service up the wall.
I'll keep in mind wh=t you say about Trump's tweets, but they are hard to ignore. Whatever he may think, others here
and abroad can't he=p considering the meaning of the words, and take action accordingly.

specified) from the conce=t. Still don't see how to work out field models.
