262. If you actually believe that he is a fine writer ,
Sat Jan 2, 2021, 08:13 PM
Jan 2021

than you must know he is of a type that should do all his writing far far away from people in person or by way of the internet.. , you know, a shut in. I say so because he is in fact his own worst enemy. Oh but his mother will back him up to the hilt. I mean seriously, where else but the internet can one read a writers mother defending a very militant man child's rantings . By the way, has he made his way to the lecture circuit ?
He has serious issues , and the way he lashs out at people when what is said as it seems causes him personal discomfort, is the very same problem Trump has ,isn't it ? And same as Trump you cannot tell him anything because he thinks he already knows, isn't that true ? Capable he may be but he lacks people skills in the worst ways.
