There's less to the mind of Donald Trump than you might
imagine, which makes him even scarier than you thought.
Jane Mayer, author of "Dark Money: The Hidden History of the
Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right", has written
a piece for the current New Yorker, a profile of Tony Schwartz, who was
ghostwriter for Trump's best-selling "The Art of the Deal."
To call Schwartz ghostwriter understates it. He wrote every
word, based on minimal input from Trump. Trump was bored, couldn't stand
questions, couldn't be bothered, couldn't sit still. Trump couldn't
concentrate, not for longer than a few seconds on any given topic.
This alarmed Schwartz, who regrets his involvement. It
should alarm us.
In the case of Trump, less is not more. Less in the case of Trump
refers to an emptiness out of which
anything is possible. There's no telling what a President Trump would do.
We've had some bad, some soul-suckingly empty people running
for power, sometimes achieving it. We've never until now had the likes of
Trump.
