Hard imagining Trump showing Obama sensitivity

January 17, 2017 11:00 pm • Last Updated: January 18, 2017 4:49 pm

After watching Vice President Joe Biden receive the Medal of Freedom from President Obama (yes he still is president and he's making the most of if it) in a surprise farewell from Biden's staff, it made me imagine President-elect Donald Trump having the sensitivity and compassion to give anyone such an honor. Maybe himself. But I guess he isn't selfish. He did turn down a $2 billion deal with Dubai and let the world know about it.

I wonder, does the world have pity on us or are they laughing? America, you got what you wanted. As the saying goes, "Now you'll have to sleep with it."
