He Will Never Be My President
Garrison Keillor's Op-Ed on Trump in the Washington Post:
“He will never be my president because he doesn't read books, can't write
more than a sentence or two at a time, has no strong loyalties beyond
himself, is more insular than any New Yorker I ever knew, and because I
don't see anything admirable or honorable about him. This sets him apart
from other politicians. The disaffected white blue-collar workers elected a
Fifth Avenue tycoon to rescue them from the elitists -- fine, I get that --
but they could've chosen a better tycoon. One who served in the military or
attends church or reads history, loves opera, sails a boat -- something --
anything -- raises llamas, plays the oboe, runs a 5K race now and then, has
close friends from childhood. I look at him and there's nothing there.”
