“Contempt, rage, parsimony, racism”

In The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg writes at length about Donald Trump and the military: “Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had.’” Many familiar anecdotes, but also a new one about Trump’s offer to help the family of murdered Army private Vanessa Guillén with funeral expenses, and his response when he learned the cost: “contempt, rage, parsimony, racism.”

You’ll have to read the article to see what Trump said — I can’t bring myself to type it here.

I would not type it either. If Trump gets elected I will type on my blog, "We have always been at war with Eastasia."

I’ve been wondering what I’ll post if it happens.
