Donald Trump is a boor, and cannot stop being a boor.

When my daughter was a senior in high school, I remember noticing, almost in passing, that her friends were very cute. Which made me realize her friends’ fathers probably found Molly very cute.

The one thing an aspiring writer must understand is that it’s hard. If you think it’s not hard, you’re not doing it right.

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.

On Twitter, people like me regularly get called “sore losers” by Trumpeters. It just makes me roll my eyes. This is not about winning and losing. We all lost, even them, they just don’t know it yet.
