Lloyd Grove writes of the laughingstock that is Donald Trump. But I'm not sure Trump should be as embarrassed as the media forces that persist in treating him with importance and who go for every Attention-Getting Device. It's like that latest Ann Coulter quote making the rounds where she called Obama a "retard." That kind of thing is the only thing Ann Coulter says or does that makes the rounds and reminds the Rabid Right that she has books out they can buy and is available for speaking engagements.
Years ago I was at a comic book convention where longtime starlet Edy Williams was at a table selling photos of herself, It was twenty bucks for nude and ten for clothed, despite the convention's insistence that she not sell the naked ones at all. She'd stow them away until someone asked, then out they'd come. The same was true of her breasts. Whenever no one was gathering around to buy, she'd flash her nipples at someone and she'd have customers. Why? Because it worked and she didn't have any other tricks in her repertoire. Neither do Trump, Coulter or way too many people who turn up on cable news and on current events websites.
