"Schwartz thought about publishing an article describing his reservations about Trump, but he hesitated, knowing that, since he’d cashed in on the flattering “Art of the Deal,” his credibility and his motives would be seen as suspect. Yet watching the campaign was excruciating. Schwartz decided that if he kept mum and Trump was elected he’d never forgive himself. In June, he agreed to break his silence and give his first candid interview about the Trump he got to know while acting as his Boswell." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this an attempt to fit the "Well, if Obama gave the guy a security clearance before firing him, then he's obviously qualified to be the President's National Security Advisor, without any further checking needed" spin will fit other people. (If you're wondering, it works about as well as the first time.) "Hey, the guy was willing to write a book about Trump (in exchange for a lot of money). That means he must endorse him for President".

My first thought is how much did he get for the article and the publicity? Second though is money makes many people make poor choices....Faustian bargain indeed. Third is he has a inflated sense of self worth....now (I recognize the trait ) Fourth he described Trump well from my observations. I hope he is miserable and blames himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term gets tossed around so much (usually as a perjorative) that it is many things to many people. Doesn't scare me though, my inclinations are to look at a man for integrity and depth, the rest can flow from that. You and I are (seemingly) far apart when scaled politically, but I'd be willing to wager that given the opportunity, we'd find more common ground than you might think. My biggest complaints with politicians are usually not politics, it is that so many are so willing to lie to serve their own ends (left-right-Dem-Rep-whatever), the only integrity you find in Washington is in a dictionary.

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 The Rock ain't afraid to lay the Smackdown on Russia. Which professional wrestlers (living or dead) would make a worse president than Donald Trump? Jimmy Snuka and the Iron Sheik would be the top of my list.
