I'm just not going to risk reading it. The probability of it being garbage is just too high. It may well be brilliant, but I will never know.

I think he might actually be an okay president. He still has all his faculties and seems like a fairly nice person. Doesn't take himself that seriously (took a role in Magic Mike ffs). He's gone from being a terrible actor to one with a surprising amount of talent. Women will vote for him instead of whichever diversity-ticker is installed as his opposite.
