Storyteller, mime, author, and thought leader, E. Reid Gilbert, is at it again, sharing his whimsical yet often thoughtful view of the Trump administration's impactful days. Medicine for our times. Another political analeptic. Insightful curative witticism. With a glance toward the other side of the aisle as well.
