The 2020 Campaign has Changed for Donald Trump
So, it finally happened. In one week we have seen what it looks like to have the curtain pulled back to reveal the feeble reality of our current president. There was always an element of showmanship and bluster that allowed Trump to be an unstoppable totem to his followers and an oppressive boogyman to most of us living in America. I say most of us because the man has never seen his approval rating go over 45 percent for the during his presidency. Let's take a look at Trump's great week.

Trump, Pence and the Republican Chance
In the Trump era, little is more inappropriate, but before people who think the man is a disastrous president secretly cheer at the news of Trump's corona infection, they would do well to review the scenarios of this development 32 days before the election. It leads to somewhat morbid reflections, such as the observation that Trump's various - when it comes to that - turn out badly for the Democrats.

Dear Mr. President
For 3 plus years, Mr. President, I truly have wanted to like and admire you. Truly. I have tried, I give you credit for doing good things, but that shit show dumpster fire of a debate tonight was silly. Poor Chris Wallace, imagine how defeated and dejected he had to feel leaving that arena. How could he not? I feel he fully deserves to get hammered on his plane ride home. God Bless him for staying with it and making it through that debacle. You were far worse than our former VP. I did cheer when he told you point blank you are interrupting far more than ole Joey. Us Democrats were giving virtual high fiveseft and right

Biden vs. Trump Presidential Debate #1
Donald Trump, who has destroyed or impaired so much of what we cherish and deem important in America, took his pickaxe to the First 2020 Presidential debate tonight, interrupting Joe Biden almost every time he spoke. And though Chris Wallace weakly protested this disruption many times, he failed to stop Trump's rampage. Wallace should have cut off Trump's microphone, or requested the audio engineer to do that.

Thoughts on Trump's Rapidly Increasing Authoritarianism
Some will deny that Trump is not dangerous, but he has firmly established himself as willing to go after political opponents. There are hurdles in his way, but don't doubt for a moment that he wouldn't knock them down if he could.

Why this year's presidential election is unlike any other
What makes America unique? Is it our diversity? Is it the constitution? Is it economic opportunity? It is, and always will be the underlying belief that everyone, everywhere, deserves to be FREE from tyranny.

Seven Books about Trump
I often say to my students, when we talk about which is the most powerful, predominating medium in our political world, that you shouldn't count older media out. Trump made Twitter his medium, because he had a talent for the short, vehement missive, and it allowed him to communicate directly to his followers, without the intervention of the press (Hitler loved radio and its affordance of direct broadcasts from him for the same reason).

Explaining Trump
Many of my story ideas stem from real life social issues. Then, I have to figure out a good story to illustrate what I am trying to say. My next book, for instance, involves a serial killer on the loose. The story actually began, however, as an attempt to illustrate the mind of a sociopath. This is because I was getting tired of trying to explain Trump’s behavior to people online.

Mr. President, Sir:
I was introduced to the celebrity figure, Donald Trump by none other than my grandmother. My grandmother loved keeping up with Hollywood gossip, celebrity drama, and all the glitz and glam of the movie stars. Of course, in that mix was the high profile couple, Donald & Ivana Trump from New York. I liked to keep up with my grandmother, so I would listen as she gave me the low down on the "lifestyles of the rich and famous" even better than Robin Leach could have. If Mr. Leach was before your time, he was a television celebrity journalist/host who coined the term, "champagne wishes and caviar dreams" and spoke in a thick and highly pronounced British accent.
