Whatever you've imputed ..from the many leaks all along--especially re the word [empathy] ... These are an order-of-magnitude beyond your guesstimation.. and this from a Niece/Psychologist with all the Chops re 'aberrant behavior'. And 40,000 pps. of $$$-DATA. Ludicrous? Despicable? ... nope, not Strong-enough. I no words. Ed: It's on podcast page just now. Haven't investigated Archive rulez since site s/ware ∆.

She's already sold more in a few days the tRump has sold "The Art of the Deal" in 30 years. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

I've no hard evidence to support this, but I'd wager that the folks reading her book are the same folks who have already identified the Carnival Barker in Chief as the corrupt, lying, worthless sack of excrement he is and that no MAGA hat wearing folks are interested in reading anything, let alone something that questions the fitness of their made-for-TV cult leader. In short, her book is being read by the already converted. It may well be that living in the Heartland™ has caused me to become jaded about my fellow Americans, but of the legions of Trump supporters surrounding me I can confidently state that they are interested neither in acquiring the book nor learning of its contents. To them, it is a "Fake News" book written by a disgruntled family member. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

There's no algorithm for this natch--but if one hasn't derived a way-to-Read (always: others' wordcraft? sincerity? etc.) after many decades then one must follow the aged koan, Guess I'll cease to think and read Watch Tee Vee and go to seed abetted by all those video clips == body language, to boot ✓ So far: she Passes my Stanford-Binet/modified.. but I made a mistake once, so no Warranty. But isn't it bichin!? that THIS farmily-member possesses all the Chops to analyze and report: on THIS most crucial to-the-entire-Planet's duration: Basket Case of all Time since Cro-Magnon trod.
