\t\t\t\tThis was as close as I\u2019ve come to seeing a U.S. President in person. Behold, the back of Donald Trump\u2019s head as seen from the lobby of his eponymous Trump Tower this afternoon at about 12:45. Trump is presently the leading Republican candidate for President of these United States.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump Sighting<\/p><\/div>\n

A crowd of 2 or 3 dozen enthusiasts stood in the lobby as the candidate, hot off the heels of last\u00a0night\u2019s Republican debate, did a television appearance inside the Trump Bar.<\/p>\n

Some of the spectators\u00a0held signs saying something like \u201cTHE SILENT MAJORITY BELIEVES IN TRUMP.\u201d<\/p>\n

I could have waited a bit to see if Trump would turn and acknowledge the gathering with his face and not the back of his head but I did not.<\/p>\n

I am not particularly political, but\u00a0I believe that a Trump presidency would be one in which nothing much happened — akin\u00a0to Jesse Ventura memorably capturing the governorship of Minnesota and then serving one perfectly passable but forgettable term.<\/p>\n

Several minutes after exiting the Trump Tower I had another brush with presidential aspiration. I had a package waiting at my post office box, which is in the basement at Rockefeller Center. While waiting for the clerk to get my package I noticed a bin full of mail. It was labeled \u201cHILARY (sic)<\/em> CLINTON\u201d.<\/p>\n

I got a laugh out of imagining Hillary Clinton visiting this post office to pick up bins filled with classified documents from her P.O. Box.<\/p>\n

On his return I asked the clerk \u201cDoes Hillary Clinton have a P.O. Box here.\u201d<\/p>\n

He replied \u201cThey all do.\u201d<\/p>\n

I said \u201cReally?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of them, yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t ask what \u201cmost of them\u201d meant but assumed he referred to other presidential candidates and their campaign offices which used Rockefeller Center P.O. boxes as their mailing address.<\/p>\n

A bit of sleuthing reveals that \u201cHillary for America<\/a>\u201d uses a Rockefeller Center P.O. Box as its mailing address.<\/p>\n
