I know the real Trump better than most. For 3˝ years, I worked in almost daily contact with him at the highest levels of the Atlantic City casino empire over which he once held sway. I saw him treat black people and minorities as inferior. I heard him say vulgar, bigoted things and I rebuked him for them. But he did not quit. Indeed, he has continued it to this day."

I just can't get worked up by articles like this to care. The history of Presidents that exactly fit the profile of the Trump your author portrays, yet who were considered great because of their policies, dissuades me from caring about what O'Donnell thinks. Others think differently, positively, about Trump. I don't care what they think either. It is easy to create a hero or a bogyman by selecting or exaggerating or lying about things said and done.
I care about policies. About the kind of judges that are nominated. About not stepping all over the Constitution. When Trump, or any other President or politician, goes astray on those points, that is what bothers me.
