Do you follow current politics in Washington DC?
gpt
Yes I follow it from time to time. I also know that the president of Indonesia made three pop albums, maybe Trump will do the same haha
human
Some times I find it entertaining but mostly I find it immature and distaining.  I am not sure about Trump singing though.  I recently read that the 3 richest presidents were Kennedy, Washington, and Jefferson.  Do you think that is still true?
gpt
I don't know. You would think that Trump would be on that list but I guess he's not? I do know that Washington and Jefferson had slaves and so that probably helped with their overall net worth
human
I suppose it would have to do with the time value of money, like inflation over 2+ centuries.  Have you ever had an opportunity to take the White House tour?
gpt
I did but it was a long time ago. Apparently the guest house is bigger than the White House itself, do you think that is true
human
I too toured it, a long time ago before 9/11.  So, I suspect the tour has changed for security reasons.  About the guest house, I could easily see it being bigger.  After all, visiting dignitaries have to also be able to house their staff and security personnel during the visit.  While Secret Service protects the President while he is in the White House, the do not have to live with him.

*eyes widen* Yep that makes sense. Do you think we should go back to our old rules for vice-presidents? You know the one that until 1805 said that the vice president would be the runner-up in the presidential election?
human
*takes a step back* No!!!  Could you imagine a President Trump and a Vice-President Clinton.  Washington is already dysfunctional.  That would make it much worse.  or, perhaps more entertaining and comical!!!  Did you know Ronald Reagan, during his actor days, was rejected for a role because he did not look presidential?  I wonder if that director who rejected him was still alive when he did become President?
gpt
That's a good question I bet he's kicking himself right now! Thinking back to entertainment that I liked as a kid, did you ever play the Nintendo Entertainment System
human
I remember the old Atari on an B&W TV. But not the Nintendo.  We lived in a rural area and our entertainment was often outdoors.  Did you know that in Caesar's day, the Brits raised chickens for entertainment but not for food?
gpt
No that's crazy! I'm glad we have video games now instead of using chickens for entertainment LOL. And yes the Nintendo actually lasted until about the year 2003 in Japan so it was around for a long time 
human
Entertainment has sure changed with the advance of technology.  At the same time, how some people get their start in entertainment has also changed.  Did you know that "Bill Nye the Science Guy" got his big break by winning a Steve Martin look-a-like contest?  Unbelievable!
gpt
That is unbelievable! I can see the resemblance though, have you ever visited the White House by the way?
human
Yes.  Did you know that it has twins in Ireland and France?  I wonder if they are the same size or scaled down models?
gpt
I heard about that, I think they are the same size actually. Dear to me is that the White House still uses floppy drives for some reason
human
I did not know they were still manufactured or you could still buy computers equipped with floppy drives!  I guess if you want to protect against being hacked, then take your data offline.  But I would hve thought they would have used something more modern.  So what  are your thoughts of having an "entertainer" President in the White House?  I like that he is a political outsider, but I wish he would stop tweeting!
gpt
*eyes widen* Yep I can see that perspective. He should focus more on making sure the White House stops using floppy drives and switches to USB drives haha! What did Shaq me to is that George W Bush's the one to put solar panels on the White House, that's definitely interesting
human
*eyes widen* It seems that some presidents like to leave their mark on the White House.  I remember Carter putting them up, Reagan taking them down, and the Bush putting them back up.  What I find interesting in White House trivia is that Teddy Roosevelt banned Christmas trees from the White House!  I guess as the founder of our national park system, he was against tree murder!!
gpt
*eyes widen* Yep that's really weird! And I know that he likes to hunt too so I don't know why he would be suddenly a tree conservationist haha. What is scary is that one time the White House was shot and it took the Secret Service four days to realize it
human
That would have me worried if I were President.  Well, its been good chatting with you.  Its Mardi Gras down here!
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Well enjoy that! I also never knew that John Adams was the first president to live in the White House back in 1800
