"Trump's rise to power was facilitated by the reign of the billionaire class. If we ever see his taxes, we may learn that his greatest hoax was persuading people he was a billionaire when he may owe billions. "It’s been epic! A cast of thousands! (Hundreds? Tens?) A spectacular production that, 5 weeks after opening on every screen of any sort in America (and possibly the world), shows no sign of ending. Its lead actor is the closest we’ve come in our nation’s capital to an action figure -- the Mar-a-Lego version of Batman and the Joker rolled into one ... As report after report indicates, he attacks, lashes out, mocks, tweets, pummels, charges, and complains, showering calumny on others even as he praises his achievements without surcease. Think of him as the towering inferno of 21st-century American politics or a modern Godzilla eternally emerging from New York Harbor."
