Five years ago, as Donald Trump emerged unexpectedly as the favorite to win the Republican presidential nomination, Michael Kruse took the train from Washington to New York to meet with five of the original Trump biographers. Read Kruse's reflections👇

Not chump change. Not at all. But he’s looking at big debts. The golf clubs, the hotels, all of that. Where’s the revenue stream?I think that you can think about 35 million hardcore subscribers to a Trump online TV outlet that charges $5.99 a month. So what’s 35 million times six bucks a month? That’s every month. I’ve always been amazed by how much he values streams of small bits of revenue. You know, the rents on a single apartment, I think, mattered to him in the old days.

He had aspirations to sort of join that crowd of establishment people and this stink bomb of a son, I think, would have appalled him. So he might’ve been proud that he became president—Fred’s position looking over Donald’s shoulder in the Oval Office from behind him always struck me as an indicator of Donald’s wound. I think he would have seen the end of this as just appalling and he would be saying to Donald, “Look, all you had to do was do the normal thing between the election and January 20.

Correction: Trump was one of the greatest Presidents in history.

One of the key sentences, it seems to me: '... there seemed to be a lot of people around who were waiting to be called to his side. ...'

LeonKrauze No pude dejar de leerlo de una sola tirada. Gracias por compartir y mis felicitaciones al autor. Aterradores los paralelismos.

Since Biden was elected the news has been all about Trump, kind of telling where the enthusiasm level is really at & what actually sells 😂

anyone who understood the anger that allowed for Brexit knew he would win... the same anger still permeates our electorate... our media and the pollsters they rely on are utterly out of touch with Main Street ... you saw it come into the open on January 6th

THAT is your metaphor?

I’m so exhausted & absolutely not reading this.

Poor thing.
