Makes you all warm and fuzzy really

It was unbelievable watching this unfold on television, but it beggars belief that the people being chosen to interview by the world press had not been able to park their pickup trucks closer.

Anyway, at least the man has finally conceded today that he lost the election, it would be interesting to see if the secret service personnel assigned to guard Trump post presidency, would be keen to take a bullet on his behalf ?
