2. Abbas needs to brush up on his English

Clearly he meant to say, "Your Excremency."

3. Gross, but in his defence for most countries that is the proper honorific for a president.

Just not our country...and particularly not THIS president!

8. You think his ego will put him on the road making speeches?

I think there'll be a few true believers talking his up as a fifth head on Mt. Rushmore, and he will probably need an annual dose of applause.

The road to the estate will be covered in slogans. Cindy will be waiting.
