One day after the State Of The Union, or #SOTU on Twitter®, I have come to the conclusion that our current president, Donald Trump, has matured. He can now drink a glass of water with one hand, and he can read off a teleprompter at a third grade level. Kudos.

Robert_Young_1957

This is not me. It is Robert Young from 1957. Our resemblance to each other is eerie.

Marvin Gaye was fatally shot by his dad on April 1, 1984. At the risk of sounding racist, he was a much better performer than Wham!
