Maureen Dowd today, in her latest Donald Trump puff piece:
He’s tapped into a hunger among those who want to believe that America is not a shrinking, stumbling power passed like a pepper mill between two entitled families.
Yes, the son of real estate millionaire Fred Trump is, according to Dowd, the champion of ordinary Americans in the battle to wrest control of the Republic from "entitled families." Dowd writes this in a newspaper whose publisher's father, grandfather, and great-grandfatherall held the title of publisher before him, a newspaper published in a state whose governor was once campaign manager for his father, also a multi-term governor of New York. And if we may be indelicate, let's not forget that Dowd's most famous romantic relationship was with Oscar winner Michael Douglas, the famous Hollywood son of the famous Hollywood actor Kirk Douglas.
There are a lot of entitled families in Dowd's world. Only some of them upset her.
