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.

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

My preference would have been a school that was totally diverse – half and half, or close. I wouldn’t have hesitated at all if they would have been in the racial minority. But to be the only white kids: I don’t think that would have been fair to them.

You should support Israel not because it is Jewish but because it is a sane, secular democracy. You want Lebanon to be at peace. You don’t care much about Kuwait.

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?

Donald Trump’s humor is hostile to a fault.

Donald Trump is way worse than George W. Bush. George W. Bush is a fundamentally decent man of limited intelligence who surrounded himself with awful people who dragged him in terrible directions. He was a bad president.
