America’s history shall henceforth be divided into two new chronological periods in place of the old BC and AC (now CE). That is BT and AT. Let me help you. It means the period before Donald Trump (BT) and the period after Donald Trump (AT). Americans may forget Christ for calculating the period or designating…
