Good evening to all-
I finished the book about 10:00 tonight- yes, I'm a fast reader.
This book is not an easy read- for a lot of reasons.
First, it is damned frightening to see up close and in detail just how mean, cruel, vicious, nasty, and most importantly stupid tRump is.
Reading about his cadre of advisors is even more frightening. Steve Bannon is a disgusting and dangerous individual, and the fact that he set tRump's
policies for any time at all is sickening.
Reading about the chaos and disorder of tRump's daily operations, and the fact that this individual has the power to make such important decisions is truly enough to make one book a flight to somewhere far away.
The book shows how tRump's basic understanding of politics, personal interaction, and basic common courtesy and decency are even lower than I had previously thought- and I didn't think that was possible. Trump's actions show him to be extremely limited, and incapable and unwilling to learn and improve.
But the main and most important point of the book- he is from beginning to end, a liar.
Is there anything new and revelatory- no, not really. But it is sobering to read about just how vile the man and his thugs really are.
Don't read this book if you are easily disturbed. It is disturbing.
And the most disturbing thing about the book is that we don't know the conclusion yet.
good night to all- Ed
