WHEN I request a single sugar in my morning coffee, the actual quantity I get is random and there is nothing I can do about it.
If I become President, or in my country Prime Minister, I can fix that problem just like United States President Donald Trump has.
He has declared that Coca-Cola will be made with the components he has decided on although the Coca-Cola company hasn’t approved this yet.
Coca-Cola needs to show some caution as the “new” version from the 1980s was an absolute failure and Trump-Cola might not be too popular either.

Plastic fades with age
The latest Barbie has diabetes, type 1, and there has been some controversy as it is a “commitment to inclusivity and representation” but there is a need for more information about diabetes in general.
The world of Barbie is fictional but what if she was real?
There is already enough discussion of her proportions if she was full size.
As she was 19 years old when she was introduced to the public in 1959, Barbie would be now about 85 years old and probably starting to show her age. Parts would have sagged even if they are plastic.
She would also be feeling the passing of time with the usual aches and creaking bones and the fading memory that many have. It is better that she is fictional rather than real.
Barbie may be timeless but she has to move with the times.

Bingo!
The haphazard tariffs of President Trump have gone from strange where the penguins of Heard Island made the tariff list, to random with Indonesia hitting the list at 19%.
There are a number of possible explanations for the range of tariffs including how much President Trump likes them or their leader, the ratings of “The Apprentice” there, or even the temperature for the day, but there is one other possibility.
This could be a massive game of Bingo with a new number issued every few days and played by either the world leaders or the Whitehouse office workers. The first to get a full Bingo card gets either a reduced tariff or a gold Trump phone.
Who will be the winner when the next 3 a.m. tweet comes out?

Better than you, Mr. Trump
Rather strangely, Donald Trump complimented Joseph Boakai, president of Liberia, saying he was “speaking good English.”
It is odd in that English is the official language of Liberia, and thus it would be assumed that its president would be able to speak it fluently.
It is also odd that he would know the difference, as President Trump’s own command of the language is tenuous. His speeches are often seen to be rambling at best and the rest incoherent and disjointed.
President Trump also creates new words, best illustrated with “Covfefe”. Creating new words is not a fault, as Shakespeare did so with over 1700 words added to the English language.
Shakespeare however, was one of the greatest writers of plays, poems, and sonnets, whereas Trump is one of the greatest manglers of the language, as shown by numerous of his post-midnight tweets.
He has insulted too many people, intentionally and accidently, to be the best that America has./PN
