John Podhoretz on Donald Trump
← Back to Donald Trump ProfilePenn Jillette, under the "P" section of his website's collected writings, expresses his extreme concern about Donald Trump's potential impact on American culture during the 2016 election.
“Trump is an unbalanced force. He is the politicized American id. Should his election results match his polls, he would be, unquestionably, the worst thing to happen to the American common culture in my lifetime.”
Penned by P, the provided excerpt captures the author's intense disgust and fascination with Donald Trump's manipulative and disruptive communication style during his rise to power.
“Donald Trump was so awful, so horrible, so disgusting... His lies, his distortions, his deceits, and his libels thicker and fouler than they've yet been... Since he began running he has demonstrated he knows things we don't know about the emotions roiling in the American underbelly. Maybe he knows this too... He interrupts, he yells over them, he insults them, he goes over his allotted time, and the whirlwind he creates turns into a vacuum that sucks all the air out of the place and right into his attention-whore lungs.”
