Speaking of the Great Pete Hamill

He saw through Trump's bullshit decades before everybody else did - here's a quote from him after Trump's infamous full-page ad to bring back the death penalty for the Central Park 5 (who were of course exonerated in 2002):

Snarling and heartless and fraudulently tough, insisting on the virtue of stupidity, it was the epitome of blind negation.

Hate was just another luxury. And Trump stood naked revealed as the spokesman for that tiny minority of Americans who live well-defended lives. Forget poverty and its causes. Forget the degradation and squalor of millions. Fry them into passivity.”

That was in 1989. and sounds just as true about the piece of shit as today.
