         | Note well: While both sides dream of power forever, Trump is at
         | a whole new level, both on the "liar, liar, pants on fire"
         | scale, and also on the scale and determination of trying to
         | make it reality. The dream and the temptation are common;
         | Trump's words and actions are not.
