Furious personal message from TE, from Ellet, scolding me for the horrible things I say about Trump, “the greatest President America has ever had.” He’s memorable from high school and Boy Scouts mostly for his extravagant stupidity, which was rather sweet in its way. I wonder why stupid people don’t check themselves before going on tirades. Do they not know they’re stupid? Do they think stupid goes away when they really, really mean it? This is the same guy who was asked to resign from his county school board after he advocated that police use live ammunition to quell Black Lives Matter demonstrations. Judging by the illiteracy of his message, the greatest offense was his being on ths school board of anywhere.  I resisted the opportunity to correct grammar and spelling and send the message back.
