The 234 Apartment

By the dawn’s early light, I searched the kitchen of Donald Trump’s childhood home in Queens for a coffee mug. There were none to be found, so I drank my coffee from a President Donald J. Trump Childhood Home insignia water glass and fixed myself a bowl of Wheaties from one of the five boxes on the counter. It had been a restless night. I had fallen asleep in the bedroom where, according to a plaque on the wall, “ President Donald J. Trump was likely conceived.” I awoke Sunday in the darkness feeling as if I’d been chasing a ghost.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Residents of Briarcliff City Apartments were left high and dry after a problem with the water system feeding one of the large buildings caused the water to be shut off around 3 p.m. on Friday. N. A. Sunje, a Briarcliff resident of two years, said the apartments are not living up to the standards of an upscale apartment complex . "Luxury apartments. Four days without water.
