I made this one up, works with 'Donald' but not with 'Trump', so you might have something...
AI response: The saying "a Donald a day keeps sanity away" is a play on the familiar phrase "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." It suggests that encountering or engaging with Donald Trump (or something associated with him) on a daily basis can be mentally taxing or even detrimental to one's well-being. The "Donald" in this case is a reference to Donald Trump, the former US president. In essence, the saying is a humorous and perhaps exaggerated way of saying that Donald Trump's presence or influence can be a source of stress or anxiety for some people. It's a way to express that daily exposure to certain situations or individuals can negatively impact mental health.

I didn't get AI for your phrase either but did get it for this one which contains the word trump:
AI result: "To trump someone" means to defeat, outdo, or surpass them, often by producing something better or more effective. It can also mean to override or take precedence over something else.

I had to try it... :)
AI answer: The phrase "Blue Spotted Curtain Mouse" likely refers to a fictional or metaphorical concept rather than a real animal or object. It could be a playful or ironic way to describe a mouse with blue spots on its curtain, or it could be a literary device used to create a unique and memorable image. Without more context, it's difficult to determine the exact meaning.

Some very interesting facts given in this fact sheet:
Key Takeaways: - Zelensky does not imminently risk losing all of Ukraine. - Most Ukrainian cities have not been destroyed. - Ukrainian law prohibits holding elections in wartime (unlike the US Constitution, which requires it). - Ukraine has not suffered millions of losses. - Europe provides about as much direct aid to Ukraine as the United States. - European loans to Ukraine are backed by income from frozen Russian assets, not Ukraine. - Ukraine did not misuse or lose half of the aid the United States has provided. - Ukraine repeatedly invited Putin to negotiate in early 2022.

I like it when newspapers print Trump's actual response, rather than making proper sentences out of it, it would be funny if it wasn't so sad:
Here's Trump's full response: Q: If the prices of groceries don't come down, will your presidency be a failure? A: I don't think so. Look, they got them up. I'd like to bring them down. It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard. But I think that they will. I think that energy is going to bring them down. I think a better supply chain is going to bring them down. You know, the supply chain is still broken. It's broken. You see it. You got out to the docks and you see all these containers. And I own property in California, in Palos Verdes. They're very nice. And I passed the docks, and I've been doing it for 20 years. I've never seen anything like it. You know, for 17 years, I saw containers and, you know, they'd come off and they'd be taken away - big areas, you now, you know, in that area, you know, where they have the big, the big ships coming in - big, the port. And I'd see this for years as I was out there inspecting property and things, because they own a lot in California. And I look down and I see containers that are, that are 12, 13, 14 containers. You wouldn't believe they can hold each other. It's like crazy. No, the supply chain is is broken. I think a very bad thing is this, what they're doing with the cars. I think they lost also because of cars. You know, there are a lot of reasons, but the car mandate is a disaster. The electric, the EV mandate.

This is what google search says for listening to music with a cochlear implant:
Cochlear implants (CIs) can help people with hearing loss perceive speech, but they are not as good at conveying the complexity of music: * Pitch: CIs don't convey pitch information very well, and users often have poor pitch discrimination. * Timbre: CIs usually have poor timbre perception, which is the ability to identify musical instrument sounds. * Melody: CIs typically have poor melody perception, especially without rhythmic or verbal cues. * Quality: CI users often rate the quality of musical sounds as less pleasant than listeners with normal hearing.

Simple, replace parking for a few cars with parking for a lot of bikes. Much better for people to come in by bike than by car.
city street with bicycle parking instead of parked cars, leaving pavement uncluttered
