Quoting Rohan McLeod (rhn(a)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.
