This page is a collection of what has become a very fertile area of blogging for me--the Trump World Grab-Bag, which is, loosely speaking, posts consisting of a round up of current news stories that may or may not be woven into a narrative or have much commentary on my part added. The over-arching theme is "Something is Going On Here", but what? I'm not the arbiter of "What". I'm just trying to put the pieces in one place.
(Some, of course, aren't titled "grab-bags", but they certainly fit the theme.)
