I love the "return home after this Congress" language. As if it's 1825 and he's not seen his humble farm since he rode off on horseback to serve in the nation's distant capital. Cue plaintive fiddle music.

This is our 1938 Sudetenland moment. When the Europe caved to Hitler, forced Czechoslovakia to cede the territory.

Hitler agreed. Then took all of Czechoslovakia anyway.
