I found an article posted on Trump Blog by Mr. Donald Trump’s about “The World’s Happiest Nations”. According to this, the happiest nation is Denmark. Enjoy the article below: How happy are you? Not as happy as if you were living in Denmark, apparently. Denmark is the world’s most content nation, according to a recent study on global well-being.

Is President” (#48, 1986), sparked early debate on the legality of unauthorized, uncredited sampling when James Brown sued to prevent the duo’s use of a fragment of his music.
