While the senile old man rides in carriages around castles, builds his ballroom, puts gold on everything, plans parades, attends a variety of sporting events, threatens people, and reads the scripts put in front of him, this psychopath is the one actually running the country.

but I’m incredibly grateful to all the staff that looked after me and happy to be back home resting now.
What resonates is all the messages, calls, and love I’ve received from so many of you.
