I read the New Yorker piece which was scathing but he's impressive in person and a collegue of Gene Robinson so that adds validity in my opinion...

because you are getting the information directly from the source. It was terrifying, yet I was thankful that he did.

He also mentioned that he has already received a Cease and Desist letter from Trump along with a demand that he return all of the royalties he has ever made from the book. Classic asshole Trump.

That guy should be given more air time. I could see him on Real Time or The Daily Show.
