The Magic of Donald Trump

[longknife]

This is a rather lengthy piece with a lot of rather pithy observations. I find it difficult to select just one paragraph or phrase as the entire things paints a picture that shows the narcissist so many lefties decry. At the same time, it describes a very shrewd individual who is taking advantage of those qualities admired so many million probable and possible voters.

The celebrity in the distinctive modern sense could not have existed in any earlier age…. The celebrity is a person who is known for his well-knownness.

His qualities—or rather his lack of qualities—illustrate our peculiar problems. He is neither good nor bad, great nor petty. He is the human pseudo-event. He has been fabricated on purpose to satisfy our exaggerated expectations of human greatness…. He is made by all of us who willingly read about him, who like to see him on television, who buy recordings of his voice, and talk about him to our friends. His relation to morality and even to reality is highly ambiguous.”

—Daniel Boorstin, The Image

Who gives a fu*k?

Independent voters, conservative voters, liberal voters, men, women, blacks, Hispanics, whites, Asians....

Everyone with an interest in who becomes the next President is interested (or should be). If we can't trust him to pay his taxes...how can you trust him to run the nation?

I guess the current sec of state should resign, right?

You people are crazy. Have you forgotten about the Clinton slush fund? Every third world dictator and mega corporation owns a piece of Hillary's chunky ass. Don't throw rocks in glass houses.

Hillary can't be trusted to keep national secrets or send help to people out on the firing line and there's no evidence Trump didn't pay his taxes, the IRS has been auditing him all along.

You are an insane, your priorities are totally screwed up.
