I can't see why at this point he wouldn't want to use his world-stage stature to make an argument for itand to claim leadership of it. What does he have to lose? What else is there, except to suck up to Trump, andget the chance to be manhandled by him again?On Thu, Jan 18, 2018 at 8:54 AM, jeffrey E. <jeevacation@gmail.com> wrote:Great.I m thrilled for you.
