I Guess How Trump Became A Public Figure Is A Mystery To the "Brain Trust" [they really do call themselves that].

Stupy is pretending that Trump didn't become a public figure through being presented by entertainment media as a celebrity, an expert in business, a credible figure.   Anyone who has missed that most relevant fact about the public career of Donald Trump should not remain out of custodial care.  

TV, pop culture, movies, etc. have made a dangerous percentage of the American public dangerously stupid.   The play-left incorporates people as stupid as any with conceit about the intelligence they lack as an added debility.

  1. How did Diana Price become an historian? LOL

    But, truth to tell, Trump's fame got him on the stage but he got elected because people in the Midwest had 16 years of Democrats telling them help was on the way while they hobnobbed with Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos and other modern industrialists. You think FDR would have gone along with the way Amazon keeps track of their employees? GTFOH. People in the Rust Belt don't care about pronouns and Halloween costumes and teenagers smirking. I know you think the press and the Russians got together one night to handle this, but the predictions, odds-makers et al. were declaring Clinton the winner before Tuesday rolled around. She lost because the press, like you, just doesn't care what people beneath them think. They vote too, you know. Plus, Oliver and Bee are as vapid, uncritical and toadyish as Fox news when it comes to their causes, yet you post them as though they were daring as Swift. There's a terrific book called 'Dignity' by Chris Arande, a Johns Hopkins-educated stock broker who got fed up with the finance industry and started taking long walks around New York, eventually going into neighborhoods he wasn't supposed to. He wasn't there to lecture, or preach, or even condescendingly "help," but to listen and take their pictures, if allowed. It's a powerful book, and you should read it.

    1. I don't think I ever called Diana Price an historian, I don't think she's ever called herself one. Can you document her calling herself "an historian"? What she is is the researcher and author who proved there is not a single document from the life of the Stratford man that identifies him as the author of anything and that of the 25 most famous people conidered to be authors of his time and place, he is the only one who left not a single piece of such evidence, certainly one of the most important pieces of research done on the topic of such contestation since the 1590s when people started speculating on who really wrote the works in question.

      She became what she is, the author of a very impressive and original body of research exactly the way that you're supposed to, by doing it.

      As for the rest of your load of Trumpian crap, you are just a Republican liar. Your claim that "people in the Midwest had 16 years of Democrats telling them help was on the way" seems to forget that for fourteen of those 16 years Republicans either had complete control of the federal and most state governments or they had effective control of them as they did all but two years of the Obama administration.

      I doubt there have been many people more critical of Barack Obama and Harry Reid for pissing away the best hand Democrats were ever given in 2009-10, mostly through Obama TRYING TO PLEASE REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE AND CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS, AS WELL. That is my record as anyone who wants to read my archived writing can plainly see, I seldom mention Obama without being critical of him. Like a liar of your kind, you pretend that Republicans didn't hobnob with billionaires as they suckered the rubes of the Mid-west appealing to the racism, sexism, regional resentment that you share with Trump and Republican voters in general as they shafted them with their economic policies - or what have you not noticed about the short political career of Trump or his much longer career in swindling the rubes?

      Look at my archive, shithead, its full of criticism of snobs on the play-left. Though given your propensity to lie to maintain your preferred prejudices, it's no wonder you're willing to lie about what I've written.

      You really do have a real problem with women, don't you. Especially women of color.

      I don't think I, once, expressed confidence that Hillary Clinton was going to win the election - something that, reportedly Trump and the woman he's married to were confident was going to happen, they say she cried when she heard she was going to have to play "first lady". It would be against everything in my personality to express such confidence in something I wanted.

      I posted your comment purely for the pleasure of saying these things to you. If you keep it here and don't impose it on other peoples' websites, I might post others if they're not full of lies about third parties who aren't necessarily in the position to defend themselves.

    2. Yeah, I looked at my archieved pieces with the words "Diana Price" in them, the closest I came to calling her an historian was the several times I noted that, unlike the Shakespeare industry, she used the criteria and methods of rigorous, modern academic historians and literary biographers used in evaluating the documentary evidence on the authorship question. While I have had to point out to you that one published historian obviously didn't do that in his claims about Shaksper(e) and the boy actor John Rice (there being no documentary evidence that puts them in the same room, no, not even the same town at the same time during the years the boy was an actor, you cited that bit of lore as history, whereas I'd have checked the documentation (complied by Ros Barber-something that apparently had never been done before, the standards of the Shakespeare industry being so independent of, you know, documentation) and could see that what he said was speculative conjecture not based on the historical record. I don't think I'd have thought to do that without the exemplary example provided by Diana Price. Face it, bunky, she blew the lid off of the typical practice of your camp and it's not going to get put back on.
