I used to write often about Trump’s predictable narcissism and what we could expect from him next.
With him facing the potential of multiple additional indictments, seemed like a good time to revisit the narcissist decoder ring and what’s coming for the Titan-ic Trump.

The years after I separated were like one long, slow-motion tumble down a mountain. The ground gave way. I fell some distance and then landed with a bruising thud. And then the ground gave way again. I spent every single day of those years thinking “If I can just get through

From a series I’m writing about a hotel, the people in it and the golden age of American travel.
“In the old days, it would not have been uncommon to find people like Mr. and Mrs. Louis Schmidt sitting in the lobby of The Hotel - although they likely would have been heading north not south.
