I've been thinking, and I know the year is coming to an end, and there's always time to reflect,

always time to talk about what has happened during the year, and the stories that I covered,

who we listen to or whatever, they never give us any real humanity or normality to speak up,

really. I mean, this is what we've chosen.

but all of the nostalgia, the nostalgic America, the promise of how things are not good,

but we're going to build them back the way they were.

I don't even include keep America great again, or make America great again,
