21st Century: Query 182 (Donald Trump)
“I don’t like to analyze myself because I might not like what I see.” ~ Donald Trump , also known as “45,” from Trump’s biography Never Enough , by Michael D’Antonio . D’Antonio is an American author, journalist, and commentator on CNN . He shared the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting with a team of Newsday reporters for their coverage of the Baby Jane Doe Case . He has written over a dozen books, including Never Enough , a 2015 biography of Donald Trump , and A Consequential President , a 2017 book on the Presidency of Barack Obama . His book Mortal Sins was a 2014 Edgar Award nominee. How has Trump nailed what we already suspect about the public man? Does this comment show a glimmer of conscience? Why or why not? Is Trump’s comment an indication that he might be more self-aware than he reveals as a public figure? Why or why not? How is his comment ironic?
