I perused this article. The main feeling I get is compassion for poor Mr. Chotiner,
who has to spend time with half-crazy nutjobs like Hanson. Here's one bit
that should make most sane people gag:
"... [a] community doesn’t have the skills or doesn’t have the willpower or doesn’t
want to stoop to the corrective method to solve [an] existential problem... so they
bring in an outsider, and immediately they start to be uneasy because he is uncouth—
his skills, his attitude—and then he solves the problem, and they declare to him...
“I think it’s better you leave. We don’t need you anymore. We feel dirty that we ever
had to call you in.” I think that is what is awaiting Trump."
I can suggest a number of "problems" that Trump tried to "solve", and the "solutions"
are all worse than the original "problems".
YMMV, I guess.
