Say what you will about my standing by Trump for way too long (which I agree with!), I was the only African American woman in the room, the only one speaking up for a community that, in the Trump White House, had not one other voice.
It’s time to tell my story. It’s a good one.
To my knowledge, the United States is the only country in the world that has created a separate currency for its poor.
Early on in the competition, I had a puzzling conversation with Katrina Campins, my roommate, when she kept insisting that she was going to be successful by making people like her and by being a nice person. I just looked at her, thinking, Good luck with that.
It became immediately apparent that Trump lacked basic comprehension about the very complicated relationship between the United States, the former Soviet Union, and modern Russia. History didn’t seem to matter to him. Donald was not a student of history. He wasn’t a student of anything but what he was doing and has done. He’d never been a big reader, either, and I’d be shocked if he’d ever read a book about the Cold War.
