What do you make of the Donald Trump phenomenon?
American Psycho is one of my favorite books. I'd probably put it in the top five novels of all time. One aspect of it that didn't quite make the movie is that Donald Trump is Patrick Bateman's idol. That alone is enough to make me a Trump fan, but it goes deeper than that.

Donald Trump is as American as baseball and apple pie (though you leftists would certainly debate that these are symbols of the white man's oppression). And that is what his detractors will never understand: he is a phenomenon because he is pure, unfiltered, unapologetic A…
