“A narcissistic know-nothing con artist who has spent his entire life swindling others while repeatedly urging followers to commit criminal acts of violence against his critics.” – David Cay Johnston
Who could he be talking about? I asked…
Johnston’s It’s Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration Is Doing to America, opened this week at #2 on the Times’ bestseller list.
And Amazon and Amazon Prime have just released Palast’s film of his investigation for Rolling Stone on how Trump’s cronies swiped 2016: The Best Democracy Can Buy: The Case of the Stolen Election.
Watch Palast question Johnston about the accusations in his book, including Johnston’s revelation of Trump’s 2005 tax return and his explanation why it reeks of criminality.
