All so interesting. Thank you. I love the ending with the photos of the real leaders.

Thank you and happy president day which I enjoy more by learning more about the true dark history of our settler-colonial country.

I meant, of course, “lusion.” If illusion means misperception, then “lusion” means perception.

Loved the "not you"! Just the kind of thing he would do! 😄

Couldn't you have blacked out part of rump's face showing the presidents. Love the picture other than that one.

While the question was easy, the answer was interesting, and disturbing at times. The way Florida is heading at this moment in time, indicates that there will be no presidents born in FL for many more decades. Banning books and banning the yelling at FL grown vegetables is not the stepping stone to the highest office in the land. And as one of your previous columns noted, people may soon be sued or arrested for cussing sugar cane. Maybe the sugar industry could jump on the Alligator Alcatraz train and note that the serve sugar pops to inmates arrested during their SS sweeps. And Alligator Alcatraz is not a great campaign moniker. I am not sure Little Ron could pull off Alligator Alcatraz campaign merch in south FL. I wonder if FL would be the 15th largest world economy if it wasn't for Mickey Mouse... If FL didn't have beaches, it would rival MS in economic output. Now that trump and his minion little ronny are making America great for white people who vote republican and are wealthy, will GL maintain that economic strength without the help of the brown people they exploit and then arrest? Maybe the brilliant economists of the republican legislature can turn Alligator Alcatraz into a tourist destination for maga! Come see the cruelty live and unfiltered! From what I gather about FL, a president will not be born in FL for a very long time, hopefully...
