desire to give him a moment's more time and space in my brain than what accidently enters my consciousness via the news - much less spend ANY time reading a book about him. He's a shitstain, who fucking cares how he got that way.

You can listen to the book here:



It's not about "understanding" him, it's about understanding the facts underlying his corruption. It shouldn't just be a personal dislike, there should be solid underpinnings to the arguments about his unfitness for being president-and they are in this book. There are some really crazy things in his background and nobody knows it like David Cay Johnston.

Screwed people his whole life. Lied his whole life. And has issues with his dad, which is where his impotence comes from. I suggest reading this book. I actually read it BEFORE the election so I could make an unbiased opinion before I voted. I never thought he was Mr. Wonderful. Hated his stupid Apprentice show but thought it would be good to read up before making a decision.

Also, it will open up some people as to how he thrives on his base because that truly keeps him going. You can totally understand his psyche by reading this. He is SO into him.

David Cay Johnston has studied him for over 30 years. Many years before a lot of you guys and gals were born. The 70s. The 80s.

It just will help some people to understand how he lives, thinks and works. A truly evil man.
