  In his second term, Trump is clearly focused on building his legacy.
  He is building a large new ballroom in the White House to leave his mark on the historic building. Similarly, he renamed the Kennedy Center after himself. The president was also clearly angling for a Nobel Peace Prize last year and threw a fit when he didn’t win it—eventually prompting the winner to “transfer” the award to him in an attempt to convince him to carry out a reg

Though my rational brain understood that death comes for us all, the bare reality of my recent experiences had caugh

We had moved him from Lakewood, Washington, where he’d lived and worked for over a decade after his retirement as a full colonel with 30 years’ service in the United States Air Force as a psychologist.
