Trump steps from Leer Jet with short back and sides .
Of his many pronouncements on democracy , American journalist, satirist , cultural critic and scholar of American English , Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956), one rings true today : " As democracy is perfected, the
office of president represents , more and more closely, the inner soul of the
people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach
their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright
moron."
