I don’t know if this should go here, in CS, or in Elections… > **[When this is over, you will have nothing that you want](https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-donald-trump-losing-garrison-keillor-20160831-story.html)** > > You are losing and so are they but they love you for it, Donald. The man sure has a way with words. ---

Brutal. And, as with Morgan Freeman, I just can’t help reading it in his voice. ---

“The cap doesn’t look good on you… and the New York Times treats you like the village idiot.” Brilliant. ---

“Running for president is your last bid for the respect of Manhattan. If you were to win election, they couldn’t ridicule you anymore.” “You are in the old tradition of locker room ranting and big honkers in the steam room, sitting naked, talking man talk, griping about the goons and ginks and lousy workmanship and the uppity broads and the great lays and how you vanquished your enemies at the bank.” ---

“When this is over, you will have nothing you want.” Keillor was stating these words TO Trump, but they also can apply to the masses supporting him(should Trump by some bizarre twist of fate become President) ☹ ---

Insightful and beautifully written. Mr. Keiller captures something fundamental about the Donald that others have missed - there is something needy and sad deep within him that has driven him to make this presidential run. If he does somehow prevail and win the election, he will neither like nor respect the people who voted for him. Theirs is not the respect that he craves. ---

On _A Prairie Home Companion_ on NPR, Garrison has been laying into Trump vigorously. He has just been working with what a ridiculous, arrogant, cartoonish dimwad Trump is, and he leaves the swindler side to other writers. For that side, nobody is better at pulling aside the Oz curtain than David Cay Johnston. ---

Keillor accurately describes the hollow neediness of a braggart and a bully. But he left out: “And in the end, you’ll be publicly pantsed by a woman who’s a bigger man than you are.” ---
