I think Trump wants to be dictator. I don’t think the courts will allow him to be, and I think that after months of revolting sycophancy, neither will Congress. He will sink to such a popularity trough that even those spineless, craven gophers will cave.

The intelligent Trump supporter will be someone who is so cynical about politics that he wants the world blown up, and doesn’t care if the person doing the blowing up is an obnoxious, infantile vulgarian. I don’t know where to find these people. Do you?

So, when this kind of thing happens to other people, we need to put them in a different category from us. We don’t want to resemble them, and the fact that we might is too terrifying to deal with. So, they have to be monsters.

But this does me no good because, being intelligent and sophisticated human beings, they are all contemptuous of Trump. They hate him. They find him…vulgar.

Many put him in the second tier, below the big three and surrounded by Truman and Eisenhower. Kennedy moved our soul. Changed our thinking about service and governance. And won big in the greatest nuclear crisis of the Cold War.

It is hard to quantify the value of name recognition, but Donald Trump has gone from fame to international mega-fame. That has to be gargantuan when your business is your name.

Making stuff up is the worst thing a journalist can do. Plagiarizing is the second worst.

When Trump says fake news, he means journalism that makes points with which he disagrees, usually about him.

America is an incredibly polarized country politically. I think ANY Republican would start out with 42 percent of the vote.
