OK, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, apologized for stating the obvious, that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is a “faker,” and furthermore, why are too many Americans unconcerned that the candidate refuses to release his tax returns?
Conservatives and liberal allies bashed Ginsberg for unjudicious behavior, but really, isn’t she telling the truth, like Carl Bernstein, half of the Watergate reporter dynamic duo, stating succinctly on CNN that Trump is “a neofascist running a neofascist campaign.”
Media makers I admire have yelled the equivalent of “Fire!” yet people are ignoring the inferno.
Last spring, filmmaker Ken Burns roundly denounced Trump’s “dictatorial tendencies” during his commencement address to Stanford University graduates, and now historian David McCullough said Trump is unfit to be leader of the free world because he is utterly lacking in Dwight D. Eisenhower’s four values for measuring leadership: Character, ability, responsibility and experience.
On the eve of tonight’s opening of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, here’s one more desperation heave: “Art of the Deal” ghostwriter Tony Schwartz’s mea culpa, reported by Jane Mayer of the New Yorker magazine.
The revised title of the 1987 bestseller, Schwartz told Mayer, should be “The Sociopath.”
Voters, you’ve been warned, again.
P.S.: On July 22, The Washington Post editorial board called attention to the neo-fascist in the room in an extraordinary front-page editorial.
