Quoting Rohan McLeod (rhn@cuft.com.au): [citing Auntie Beeb's programme description:] When Donald Trump announced his candidacy to become leader of the Republican Party he was already known by millions of Americans as a shrewd and astute businessman who, for 10 years, had cut through the crap on national TV. A ruthless bad-ass who hired and fired and got things done. ...but it's turned out that these things were true only in television scripts, and literally _none_ of these things is true of the real person. He's even inept at firing people. Because a close relative (my sister) likewise has borderline personality disorder, and compulsively fibs even when she has no advantage from doing so, I was never fooled. For their part, New Yorkers have observed & known his nature for many decades.
