Greedy, grasping, piggish, thuggish, out for No. 1, whore for publicity… He’s the whole package. It’s left to America to see it.

Before I wrote a book on Trump, I wrote one about the Catholic priest abuse scandals. And I see a heck of a lot of similarities.

Ever since he got pushed around at that military academy, Trump has been all about shame—avoiding it himself, and inflicting it on others.

It all started long ago with an amazing puff piece in the Times. The exaggerations, the unverifiable boasts—it was all in place even then.

The Donald may love citing President Eisenhower on the campaign trail, but it looks like Ike wasn’t a big fan of Trump’s father, Fred.
