This collection of my comments at various stages in the early development of what future historians may refer to as the Trump Era is dedicated to my wife, Meribel, the most sincere and deepest thinker I have ever known. Meribel's kindness and love have inspired me to believe that it matters what I say and how I feel about what is happening to America today. Most of these reflections posted in my LinkedIn account have also been shared out loud with her at home, where she is always interested in what I have to say on these and other matters.
