I’ll be interested for your thoughts on this.

I can’t review it because of the current political situation, I’m sure. It was a good book. It makes me sad that he had flipped to Trump. I think he genuinely is a decent person with a classic conservative outlook of pull yourself up by the bootstraps. But he also understands why some people can’t. This was 8 years ago so I’m not sure what else in his life has changed. It’s too bad that his desire for whatever-fame, money, being awestruck by a rich person- has moved him to Trump.
