The Bad Seed - Early Trump



A 10 year old brat blackening the eye of a teacher, delivering papers in his chauffeured Cadillac, and it gets worse from those early years:

"Even as a child, he personified privilege and entitlement. In business, he proved a genius at marketing himself but grew his fortune more slowly than if he had put his wealth in a stock index fund. He made a mess of his personal life and has been repeatedly accused of racism, of cheating people, of lying, of stiffing charities.

His life is a vacuum of principle, and he never seems to have stood up for anything larger than himself.

Over seven decades, there’s one continuous theme to his life story: This is a narcissist who has no core. The lights are on, but no one’s home."

You know, I feel like I'm beating a dead horse with a dead cat at this point. All of his past - the corruption, graft, bribes, racism - is there rotting in his past. From this point on I think I'll just focus on the walking, talking piece of shit he is now.

ANYHOO - for those interested , a look at an opinion page in the NY Times written by Nick Kristof:

a truly despicable life. The media should be having a field day with this candidate. When have they had a candidate who provides so much juicy material? Instead they talk about Hillary's emails and The Clinton Foundation, referring to them of "scandals" instead of false allegations.
