Let us take, as an example, the story of a student so obviously unqualified, so transparently unworthy, that a book was written about what his admittance into Harvard said about the sorry behavior of supposedly elite colleges. That student -- that dull, below-average student who somehow made his way into Harvard -- was Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Kushner's father, real estate developer Charles Kushner, bought Jared his Harvard acceptance. It cost him $2.5 million. (Kushner later went to jail for tax evasion and witness tampering, so it was also, technically, dirty money that bought Trump's daughter's husband's entry into the Ivy League.)

This is not a great day for the press. For anybody, really—but maybe a tie for worstness between Trump himself and those who have been barkers for his sideshow.

1. Projection. That explains a lot. nt

2. As bad as THAT is, I suspect Trump is projecting, and it is his own

educational records which warrant close scrutiny.

Along with his tax records and bankruptcy court proceedings.
