Cassidy Hutchinson Makes a Buck Off of Trump.

I’m not exactly sure how to write what I am going to write today without coming across like some old, tired, opinionated liberal who can’t stand when someone gets up and says, ‘Gee, I should have known better than to back Donald Trump,’ but I’ll give it a try.

In this instance I’m referring to yesterday’s interview in The Failing New York Times with Cassidy Hutchinson, whose so-called memoir about her years in the White House is being published by Simon & Schuster, which means she starts off with the NYT interview and will doubtless soon embark on the requisite national book tour.

I did a book tour back in 1984 or 1985 when Basic Books published a study I did on Jewish immigrants in New York. At one point I gave a talk at the Jewish Community Center in Columbus, OH, a large edifice built by Les Wexner who founded The Limited clothing chain and more recently hired the late, lamented Jeffery Epstein to manage his financial affairs. The building had no less than three, large auditoriums — while I was speaking in one, Weightwatchers was in another and a guy selling hair lotions was in the third. Oh well, back to Cassidy.

First of all, I get really pissed off when someone who has reached the blessed age of 26 years puts out what is referred to in the press release as a ‘memoir.’ To me, a memoir is something you write…
