Here's a civics lesson for the guy sitting at the big desk in the Oval Office.
The term of a U.S. president is four years, not eight. Stop talking as if you have a guarantee you'll be there that long.
The people of Puerto Rico are American citizens.
A 140-character message sent out via Twitter is not an official executive order, and has no -- repeat, no -- standing in law. It is only gossip, nothing more.
There is no such thing as "clean coal."
Demanding loyalty and obedience from employees of a business may work, since you can fire them with a single word, but members of Congress do not answer to your every whim. You are an elected official, not a sanctified monarch. Stop acting like one, or you will be diselected.
You are subject to the laws of this nation and of the states in which you do business. When you break a law, you will be caught and punished. The same goes for members of your family. Working in the White House does not exempt you and your family from the law.
As chief executive of the United States government, your duty is to enforce laws, not ignore them.
A free and responsible press is essential to democracy. If you destroy that, you destroy democracy.
Insulting people may satisfy your ego for the moment, but people have long memories. Especially reporters and TV people, who can rerun the video of things you say and do. There is more "fake news" on Twitter, Facebook and other social media than in the mainstream press.
The Second Amendment is an important part of the American system, especially the part about a "well regulated militia."
