Trump can ground airlines even if he doesn't own them.
Trump Shuttle was an airline owned by Donald Trump from 1989 to 1992. It crashed and burned, metaphorically. The photo is one of its planes.

Simplistic drawing representing Donald Trump, showing double chins and his ample figure, with a scrawled signature for his peris - but is only large enough for the first stroke of the letter M.

Ayr #Golf Club in Northern Queensland with rows of mango trees, trimmed to easy picking height, bordering the fairway.
Rows of manicured mango trees sit alongside a green at Ayr Golf Club. In fruiting season it must be tempting to snack.

Pepsi apparently decided to make a bad tasting version of Gatorade, add bubbles, and call it Pepsi Max Electric. 🤮 #No

The view from St Crispins Cafe in Port Douglas, with views across Mirage Country Club to the hills. #Golf #Queensland
The green of the 12th at Mirage Country Club backs onto a pond beyond which lies the nicest eggs Benedict around. St Crispins Cafe is an old wharf converted into a lovely patio setting.

Where did they go wrong? Did they need a bigger font? Did they need to find the degrees sign on the label maker? Would bold type have helped? 18 is damned chilly in #Cairns. Should I obey the label?

Looking down the 18th at #Cairns Golf Club today. The course is slowly drying out, but there still substantial puddles in some bunkers. #DJI #Mini
A drone photo from behind the 18th green at Cairns Golf Club showing standing water in greenside bunkers. A few days of sunshine should see the course back in top condition.

Palm Cove jetty, #Cairns, Queensland, Australia. #DJIMini
Drone photo taken over the creek at the northern end of Palm Cove looking over the end of the beach, the jetty, and out to Cape Grafton beyond. Clouds from an approaching storm front are entering from the left/west of screen.  The water is fairly flat, and still coloured by the silt and tannins from recent rains.

The fruit and veg section in Coles, Smithfield, #Cairns is a bit bare with the Ingham/Townsville #floods. Same goes for meat, frozen goods, dry pasta, eggs, etc, etc.
The fruit and veg section at Smithfield Coles with the Bride Highway closed due to floods.  We can have bananas 🍌.  Or bananas. Other than that it's empty shelves.

The 7th, #Cairns #Golf Club
The 7th is a short par four around a pond on the right of the fairway. The power lines are behind the green and not in play.  The egret moves around a bit and may be in play.

Cafe Sosta at the Red Shed is a fairly new cafe on the banks of Lake Burley Griffin in #Canberra, and shares the building with the Rowing Club. The views from the patio are much better than, say, the Kingston Foreshore. The "eggs in red" (poached eggs in a tomato and capsicum sauce) were very nice.
In the foreground is the Molonglo River as it exits Lake Burley Griffin. The foot of Black Mountain rises beyond the bend at right. Weston Park is on the opposite bank. The large patio overlooks the scene.

Breakfast spot, Palm Cove #Cairns #Australia
The view from the patio at Vivo in Palm Cove, on Cairns's northern beaches. A couple of empty tables near the footpath, then a low speed brick paved road,  and then palm trees,  the Coral Sea and Double Island beyond. I had the French toast with bacon,  maple syrup and fresh berries.
