Travel Expert Rick Steves Beats Cancer, Makes Comment on Trump
Rick Steves writes:Update on my Medical Travels: I’m Cancer Free! PSA 55 to PSA 0.09 to PSA <0.03…Yes! If you know prostate cancer, you know the happy story of those numbers — and the relief of hearing my surgeon say, “You can now consider yourself cancer-free.”
Life has been a whirlwind lately, with a …. a president essentially declaring, “L’État, c’est moi” (“The state, it’s me”… in the spirit of Louis XIV.)
But I’ve been on a deeply personal journey since last July, when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I promised I’d keep my traveling family posted — and I’m happy to now report that I’ve weathered the storm.
Congratulations on the cancer; PSA 55 is pretty scary stuff. Love your insightful remark on America’s new ruler.
Incidentally, there are a few important differences between The Sun King and Donald Trump.
Louis XIV was a believer in the divine right of kings, where the United States was founded on the principles of freedom and democracy. Also, from what I’ve read, there is nothing to suggest that Louis XIV wasn’t a sane and honest human being.
