FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — Back when Donald Trump was giving one hour-plus, free-form, jazz-improvisation speeches — that is, for nearly all of the campaign until the last week — Trump spent an inordinate amount of time telling audiences how great he was. He was the best at this, the best at that, he won this, he won that, his companies were the greatest, people loved him. A typical Trump speech included long stretches of nearly nonstop bragging.

I listen to the Laura Ingraham show regularly. Byron York is on often. He seems to be fair to Trump when he is on her show.

It ain’t bragging, if you can do it.

It's not bragging.

Correct. It IS his resumé. He has a lifetime of building things.

Most typical politicians only give speeches about those who have a lifetime of building things.

I read it for just that reason, York is a critic but not a hater. When you’ve overcome his objections, you’re on the right path.

Agreed... I read the book in one weekend. It was fascinating to see him essentially apply things he said about business deal making 30 years ago to politics today.

Please read the posted article. York is somewhat skeptically favorable to Trump. I picked it up from Julianne.com, where it is one of today’s “Must Reads”. Julianne of Julianne.com, being Jonah Goldberg’s mother, this indicates a possible major fracturing of the anti-Trump coalition.

I know what you mean. Whenever I have the misfortune to be passing by the TV while my husband is watching FAUX News and York is on, I always say something like, “Who is that old woman?” He seems to go out of his way to look effeminate.
