I said:
He was too busy making America grate to get elected.
Ingrates voted him out.
The mere spectre of his trying to make America great again
makes America grate again.
P.S. I'm still puzzling over why 4 Capitol police officers have committed suicide. I saw some poignant testimony of how they were treated by rioters. But what of it? If George Floyd had lived, would he have committed suicide? Do people roughed up by police commit suicide?

believe she was India's ambassador to the UN.
I'm sure she was on the television news, but I didn't watch it in those
days.
ObAue: According to WP, "Pandit" is a title given to an expert in some
fields; it's pronounced "pundit".
