Hello it's Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and Pippi Longstocking,

Happy extremely long Independence Day weekend! As our thoughts turn to the nation’s glorious beginnings, it’s not actually necessary to wonder what would have happened if Donald Trump had been a founding father. Really, stick to the fireworks. Still, the demands of concerned citizenship never wane. Let’s see how much attention you’ve been paying to current presidential events.
