Trump Revealed His Presidential Dream to Me in 1988. Now the Nightmare Begins


THE GUARDIAN: Back then I wrote that Donald Trump becoming US president would be seen as a bad joke. Yet it’s about to come true

At war with the US intelligence agencies he compares to Nazi Germany, damning them for leaking an unverified dossier on his alleged links with Moscow, Donald Trump’s bizarre press conference left the world agog. What if the Russians have so well destabilised America that no sooner inaugurated, their chosen president has to be impeached? Don’t count on it. Ordinary rules don’t apply to the man who is the raw spirit of the lawless wild west.

And Trump’s nature was never a secret. He has never dissembled, he can’t dissemble. Why would he when he worships every aspect of himself, each hair on his head, each word he tweets? Greater self-love hath no man. » | Polly Toynbee | Thursday, January 12, 2017
