Donald Trump has failings, no doubt -– his greatest, from their point of view, being his tendency to point at them and their Politically Correct absurdities like the little boy in the fairy tale, exclaiming, "But the emperor isn't wearing any clothes!"

(They hate that.)

Though that's nearly equaled, in their catalogue of insufferable evil, by the fact that he's so boisterously . . . COMMON, that he won't even PRETEND to be some reserved, patrician, intellectual type, like Sumner Wells or Dean Acheson or Cyrus Vance or, I don't know, one of the Udalls maybe, someone who can wear a tweed jacket and puff a pipe and look DIGNIFIED and keep his MOUTH SHUT, for Christ's sake.

I can no longer even count the over-the-top charges: Mr. Trump is a Russian spy, being blackmailed by Vladimir Putin over a secret videotape in which Mr. Trump enjoys being urinated upon by Russian whores; Donald Trump wants to bring back slavery (not making any of this stuff up, for "bringing back slavery" see: http://www.breitbart.com/video/2017/02/25/michelle-bernard-on-trump-presidency-you-cant-help-but-think-slavery-is-coming-back/ ); he wants to rape or "grab the pussy" of every plump and aging chanteuse in Hollywood along with those of a large number of gray-haired East Coast doyens who until recently were presumably fantasizing about nighttime visits by aliens with anal probes.
