Doesn't sound like the worst president in US history to me:

The better meaning for posting this song is that it is truly representative of sadness. There is no doubt that 74+ million people's tears are being shed with every passing day. You may not see it now, but someday, when 'honest' history is being sought, President Trump and his many accomplishments in just four years FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE will be seen as having transcended that of most other American presidents. Then, someday you will listen to the song again with new meaning and realize just what YOU had a hand in destroying...and it wasn't just the man.
Now go ahead some of you...have a good laugh; display your ignorance!

unfortunately i never learned the native tounge of my paternal and maternal grand parents so i did a bit of research. the Italian translation is actually, "I'll go with you" not "time to say goodbye", big difference. that was the easy part. one person has written" the lyrics make no sense". another writes its about two lovers leaving their love ones to go on a journey of their own.
However, as with much of the great music with foreign tounge I'll let the music move me to my own world. this music tells me "Goodbye" trump. ok, yes i have looked up many English translations of great operas but i often just let the music move me, especially when Puccini operas are involved.. Wonderful music.
there are a few exceptions, the works of Cole Porter and Irving Berlin..
then again, Rogers and Hammerstein Gershwin.. so many more..
you hit my magical cord!! sorry if this is so off topic.
As far as Trump goes, yes he has done some very good thing for the country, however in this case I look at his "motives" not only his "judgement".
the street he started to lead the country down was wide and bright, but there were limits to his good accomplishment and none to his dangerous ones . The road has narrowed.

Trump pardons 20 people. I wonder how many friends, associates and family members will be in the final total before he leaves (?) Office.

Yes, and when a candidate loses he does not attempt to overturn the election in his favor. Or threaten to lock up his political opponents, and fire government workers doing their jobs.

add a few more to the "OLD BOYS LIST"
One recipient of a pardon was a family member, Charles Kushner, the father of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Two others who were pardoned declined to cooperate with prosecutors in connection with the special counsel’s Russia investigation: Paul Manafort, his 2016 campaign chairman, and Roger J. Stone Jr., his longtime informal adviser and friend.

26 days remain. After all this trump time, Its time for the Senate to be led by Democrats. Get out the vote Georgians. Perhaps the Republicans should go on an r and r. They need help too.
