The New York Times editorial board wrote about Cadet Bone Spurs' best and brightest yesterday:

...people with dubious ideas, limited experience and loads of ethical baggage...cranks and nationalists...

Such are the people Trump has gathered around him as Leader of a nation which has given the world a Martin Luther King, Jr., a John Dewey and a Hemingway, a Faulkner, a Sinclair Lewis, a John Cage, and an Aaron Copland.

William Shirer wrote of an Austrian Corporal's advisers:

...the weird assortment of misfits...[a] confused locksmith, [a] drunken poet...[an] economic crank,...[a] famous fornicator...

Such were the men whom Hitler gathered around him in...his drive to become dictator of a nation which had given the world a Luther, a Goethe and a Schiller, a Bach, a Beethoven and a Brahms.
