From Brian Karem (www.salon.com):
Few stand against the man for whom an overwhelming majority of people in this country cannot stand. Not only would he be the last person invited to a neighborhood barbecue, but inevitably, the police would have to remove him from the property, along with his traveling crew of sycophants who hang on his every word in order to feed their empty souls.
This soulless group of feckless individuals consists of racists, misogynists, bed wetters, train spotters, and a guy who once painted his bald head to make it look like he had hair. The backstories of those on staff and in Trump's Cabinet would make "The Exorcist" seem like "The Sound of Music." They've never climbed any mountain, but have been damaged on every turn, and have turned the raw feelings of inadequacy, loathing and self-doubt into something powerful - yet dark.
