Don't hate, meditate

Those who seek peace might wish to meditate.  That’s the advice of Hong Jinshi, who fashions Trump-looking, so-called Buddha statues in his spare time.

Jinshi claims that if Donald Trump were to meditate, he might then enjoy some relaxation in his elder years.  And who knows?  A kinder gentler Trump might lead to a worldwide sigh of relief.

Yet Hong himself is turning into quite the entrepreneur.  He’s already hawked these mismatched figurines in “China and abroad,” while lamenting a growing market of “lower quality” imitations.
