Dear Diary: It was a perfect day today. Clear blue sky, no wind. And, for once, no breakfast call from Vladimir Putin. " OK guys," I said to aides Joe Paulsen and Marvin Nicholson, "Let's hit the links at Joint Base Andrews." And so it came to be: We set off in The Beast with a couple of Secret Service guys and there were some more in black SUVs ahead of us and bringing up the rear. I like to be reminded of my importance and the immense value that the citizens of this country place upon me, my diplomatic skills and my overwhelming intelligence. A leader such as I comes along, at most, maybe once a century. This is why I am able to rule by executive order, like an emperor, without more than a few murmurs of dissent. But enough about me.
