I don't think he's learned anything from this trouncing. I'm betting he'll slink back into his cave to lick his wounds then come out seeking revenge on public workers. What else would be expected from an arrogant, egocentric personality such as his?JLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05954738561175438244noreply@blogger.com
