It's Not Funny Anymore


Over the several months since Donald Trump entered his oversized hat into the Presidential race, many in the media, and I, have had plenty of fun as his expense.    The list of nicknames is long and legion: Tribblehead, T-Rump, The T-Rump Trumpet, The Walking Toupee, and on, and on, and so on.   His quirks, such as his propensity to refer to himself in the third person, his lavish personal tastes, and his oversized and over-bloated ego in general (manifest by his making DAMNED sure that his name appears on EVERYTHING he touches), have made him a media magnet.    Perhaps that is exactly how he got as far as he has in this election, still being the Republican front-runner.   He plays the media as if it were a Stradivarius, and at this writing, over 40 percent of Republican voters are dancing to his tune.
