Well, it turns out we were misled about being named TIME’s
Person of The Year. Or perhaps it was a last minute decision. It seems that
TIME decided to award this year’s honor to someone not only deserving, but
inspirational.
Last year’s person of the year was right up there with
previous picks like Hitler, Stalin, Khrushchev and Khomeini. Not so much
inspirational as undeniably impactful. Not so much outstanding as globally horrifying.
He was chosen because of his deplorable, improbable, poisonous rise to power. Only
time will tell what his legacy will be…THIS JUST IS: Time has already told that
the legacy of Donald J. Chrump is an unmitigated disaster from which it will
take decades to recover, to whatever degree such is even possible.
This year TIME chose “The Silence Breakers” who begat the #MeToo
movement. Countless women stepped out of the shadows to expose decades of sexual
harassment, abuse and assault by men from all corners of society.
Even better might be the fact that TIME named the
misogynistic madman who was a major inspiration for these women to risk it all
by saying publicly that enough is enough, giving birth to the #MeToo movement –
none other than Donald “Grab ‘em by the p***y” Chrump as runner-up. He
certainly could not be Mr. Congeniality.
As much as it would have been an honor to receive such
recognition, I am happy to play third (or whatever) fiddle to the winner and
the most losingest second place finisher of all time.
According to Tony Schwartz, the actual, now-apologetic
author of The Art of The Deal, says Chrump’s #meToo experience is far from over.
Schwartz, who spent more time with Chrump than anyone other than Ivanka or any
of his temporary wives…and lived to tell about it, tweeted this:
