One More Insight Into Donald Trump

This will be brief.

For better or worse, I am one of the leading anthropologists of the worst human beings in the world.

In the course of writing two books and over 500 articles about Donald Trump in the last eight years, I’ve studied his life, his thought processes (such as they are), his character, his crimes, his scummy business practices, his endless string of adulteries, betrayals, deceptions, frauds, scams, and failures in gory and granular detail.

And I hate it. There is not a single redeeming or uplifting quality about Donald Trump, and I’d much rather spend my time on any other subject.
