“I put lipstick on a pig. I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is. I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”
(Tony Schwarz, writer of “The Art of the Deal” that catapulted Trump into the national limelight. The quotation is from an article by Schwarz published in the New Yorker, July 25, 2016)
Donald Trump has been named one of the top 10 greatest risks to global stability, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit. They say that a Trump presidency threatens the global economy, as well as US politics and national security. They rated the danger of various risks on a scale of 1 to 25, with 25 considered most dangerous. Trump was given a score of 12. It is the first time a US candidate has been included in the list.
