Boy, Eugene Robinson must have had to use a really long-handled, muckraking shovel to dig up dirt on Donald Trump for his Tuesday column, “Trump’s cons matter because of job he seeks.” The information he put out there, and would like us to believe is current, happened in 1991. Let’s see, that would be 25 years ago. It’s time for Robinson to come clean and admit that he just doesn’t like Trump for his own personal reasons and stop acting like he’s some well-informed political annalist. By trying to shine light on all of Trump’s character defects, both past and present, he also brings into the open his own brand of bigotry through character assassination. Admittedly, Trump may not be the best right-wing candidate for the highest office in the land, (not the most powerful person in the world as Robinson would have you believe), but he is undeniably the conservative people’s overwhelming choice. I realize that his column is on the opinion page and that his comments are his own thoughts, but if he were to report more objectively, and occasionally write about the faults of the other candidate currently running for the liberal side, it might make his column more palatable to those of us that are looking for a complete overhaul of our present political system.
