>>There was/is a tendency in US prez and sometimes candidates to fall prey to plumbum administered in doses that cannot be described as homoeopathic.
Careful- Five Eyes is watching you! ;-)
Now I can't get the image out of my mind, of one of the candidates wielding a Bulgarian Umbrella...
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
