   It usually surprised the friends I encountered in the US when I was working
there, that I, an ignorant Swede, actually *had* not only read it, but even
understood it.

   I usually started with asking them if they them selves knew what the first
ten amendments are called. You'd be surprised to know how few knew the correct
answer.

   And, of course, after all those TV-shows from the WH we all know that the
POTUS hasn't even read your constitution. There's even audio recordings where
he admits that it's written in a language that he doesn't understand.

   Don't you have any tests at all that a POTUS candidate has to pass? At least
in par with the test you have to take to become a US citizen.

   But I must admit I miss the daily WH press "conferences" now that Joe Orange
obviously has been grounded(?) when not even the most fanatical and corrupt
GOP:ers can defend his latest stupidities and blatant lies.

   Or has he finally understood that the virus can invade even the WH unless
you carefully follow the recommendations from the experts. Not a good idea to
fire all of the experts who questioned your genius, in order to create a corps
of yeah-sayers was it...?
