The importance of the hidden depth and detail

Trump

Imagine a world, where something stinking of corruption (I mean STINKING of corruption), is close to being President of one of the largest nations. Where someone whose pores emit a vile gas of greed, selfishness and narcissism. Someone who publicly hangs around with the true dirt of this world — who also happen to…
