Because Trump is nothing, he is useful as a mirror. His success mirrors the dysfunctions of our politics & media. His support mirrors the resentments & fears of his supporters. His fearsome reputation mirrors the insecurities of the left.
He is showing us what *we* are.

For no reason, no reason at all, I’m sharing Zoe Leonard’s poem “I want a dyke for president. I want a person with aids for president & I want a fag for vice president and I want someone with no health insurance & I want someone who grew up in a place where the earth is so saturated with toxic waste

ultimately what they want isn't the free speech of a fractious society, but the norms of an academic cocktail party--where any topic is fair game, so long as we all admit it kind of doesn't matter and this is just a little post-dinner diversion we're engaged in

The lawsuit claims his business is worth $100 billion and generates "hundreds of millions of dollars" in income (less than 1%). The alleged defamation is that he is not good at business.
