I disagreed. The NYT did not post my comment.
Compare Donald Trump to Dennis Hastert, the Republican Speaker of the House, who was a wrestling coach who raped teenage boys and succeeded in keeping his crimes out of the press for over 30 years. Donald Trump has kept his crimes out of the press for over 40 years. Perhaps Frank Bruni can use the imprimatur of the Times to investigate and report about Trump’s crimes.
Congress spent over $100 million to investigate the life and loves of Bill Clinton. NOTHING was kept out of the press. In contrast, Congress has spent NOTHING to investigate Donald Trump.
We don’t know what’s beneath Trump’s suit. The Starr Report thoroughly described Clinton’s anatomy.
We know how Bill Clinton has made his money and the taxes he has paid because Mr. and Mrs. Clinton’s tax returns for the past 40 years have been released to the public. None of Trump’s tax returns have been released.
Comparing Clinton to Trump traduces Clinton and flatters Trump. It’s worse than calling George W Bush a regular guy who’d be a good President and calling Al Gore a liar.
