SAN DIEGO−When Obama became president, sales of guns spiked. When Trump became president, applications for Green Cards and DACA status spiked.

Donald and Melania Trump have indicated that they have huge plans for redecorating the White House. Although specifics aren’t yet available, reporters have detected that members of Trump’s transition team are now calling the presidential residence the Gold House.

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. Donald Trump won the electoral college. The electoral college is to democracy what Trump University is to education.

Hillary Clinton won 61 % of California’s votes versus 33 % of it for Donald Trump. It is estimated that 2.67 million undocumented immigrants reside in California. I don’t want to insinuate that Donald Trump is a vengeful person, but his aides are now referring to California as a basket of deportables.

Donald Trump is back on Twitter. Angered by those who have taken to the streets to demonstrate against his election, he tweeted: “Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!” WRONG! The individuals who are marching against Trump are amateurs. After four years of his presidency, they will be professionals.
