   If Donald Trump were our addled grandfather, the 78 year old would be in a nursing home; we'd visit on the weekends!

   President-elect Trump just posted a map showing Canada as part of the U.S.

     I don't really want to be a meddler with the politics of other countries, but as I am a citizen of a country(New Zealand) that shares similar values as Canada by being a member of The Commonwealth, I stand with them to oppose Trump's bully rhetoric toward their sovereign nation.
     King Charles is the leader of the Commonwealth. I wonder about his response and indeed, should it be sought. This is not just about politics.

     "A black and white cartoon depicts a large soldier in a German WWI-style helmet [Stahlhelm] and uniform pushing a wheelchair. The wheelchair contains a smaller figure in a military-style cap and coat, who is holding a saber aloft. The soldier pushes the wheelchair across a beach towards the ocean, leaving a trail of words that appear to spell "DAKAR."  Palm trees are visible in the background.

     PS
     Dakar is the capital of Senegal in western Africa.
     The person in the wheelchair looks like the General Field Marshall von Hindenburg (who later became President of the Weimarer Republik).*
     The Deutsches Kaiserreich, however, never had any military business in that region. It had become a French colony in 1895.

     OMG! L'État français, the Régime de Vichy! I hadn't thought of him since high school and I don't remember a picture of him.
     But, yes, that makes a lot of sense!

     LOL, I was close, though. During WWI, le maréchal Philippe Pétain was von Hindenburg's adversarial counterpart. 😎
