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.

MAGA NATION
If you’re anything like me it’s hard to find your place on the political spectrum. Never really identifying or fitting in with either party. Maybe the world of politics never held your interest or attention. Maybe politics is the bane of your existence as it fuels a hate fire deep in Your soul whenever the topic is bought up.

Dear Man in Office
Dear Man-in-Office, Whether or not you know it, you are truly screwing this country over. You recently signed some executive orders in the hopes of stimulating our economy and helping those who are out of work or those having become very stretched thin by the pandemic by giving them money or a deferment to pay bills/taxes. Of course, this all hinges on your being re-elected (there is always a catch with you).

Why Trump Needs To Lead His Country
The world is turning around at the moment. For months. And a lot of countries have been locked, or are still in lockdown, or are partially open. People still need to work from home, groceries are open but mouth or face masks are obligated in shops and groceries.

What Is Trump Doing In Trying To Cut Payroll Taxes?
July 23rd, 2020 The news first, and an apology for the photo, it sears me to my soul as well (if the Surgeon General put that picture on tobacco and vaping products, nicotine addiction would nose dive in short order). It was widely reported this morning that after significant resistance from members of his own party, President Donald Trump is dropping the demand for a payroll tax cut to be part of the upcoming corona virus aid bill congressional republicans are working to put together now. To be clear, it was not said that he was dropping the demand altogether but Steven Mnuchin was quoted as saying “it won’t be in the base bill”, when interviewed by CNBC about the payroll tax cut, but he did later say the White House may seek a payroll tax cut in future legislation.
