He’s back. Trump has been in office for one month as of today. It looks like promises made, promises kept to me. Some people call this creative destruction, but they would be only half right. I guess you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette, but, with the price of eggs, who can afford to. Actually, it’s not the price of eggs that concerns me, it’s the availability. With that said, here is a recap of the first month if you are keeping score at home. Go Red Sox.
