Donald Trump breaks the law so fast that the law is left in his orange dust (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Itâs crazy to think about Donald Trump outrunning anything. But in legal terms, the United States president is an Olympic-class sprinter. He breaks the law so fast that the law is left in his orange dust. Trump is an outlaw. And the US system was not built for an outlaw in the Oval. He zeros in on loopholes in the law and the system that are based on trust and the assumption that our leaders â and their families â will not be voracious scam artists. âThe constitution was built on this id
Natalie Harp thinks Donald Trump is amazing... and he agrees (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Iâve spent my career watching officials manoeuvre and scheme, often in absurd ways, to get closer to presidents. But Iâd never seen anything like the photograph of Natalie Harp dashing after US president Donald Trumpâs golf cart in Scotland three years ago. Iâd also never heard of a staffer jumping into the trunk of an SUV, as Harp did, when she was denied a seat in the motorcade. The hit horror movie Obsession, about a man who wishes for more adoration from a young woman, who falls unde
Maureen Dowd: Sex, gods and executions: What Christopher Nolan left out of The Odyssey (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Medievalists must be jealous. Classicists are having a moment on social media, happily discussing whether Odysseus was âpolytropos,â âpolymetisâ or âpolymechanosâ. And thatâs very cool. Thank you, Mr Nolan. Christopher Nolanâs The Odyssey is a throwback to the days when Hollywood big shots fearlessly took on literary classics, undaunted by the challenges of bringing vast, thorny tales to the screen. Conjuring the American civil war in Gone With The Wind? Re-creating the desert ba
Trump and the bonfire of his vanities (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ordinarily, I love stories of obsession: Wuthering Heights, The Story of Adèle H., âRemembrance of Things Past, The Caine Mutiny, Fatal Attraction, The Good Wife, Moby-Dick and the new Generation Z horror hit Obsession. My Netflix algorithm is trained to compulsively hunt for tales of compulsion. But President Donald Trump has reduced the grandeur of obsession to something pathetic. When you commandeer prime time, or try to, youâd better have something prime to say. Trump didnât. His spee
Maureen Dowd: Donald Trump and George Washington have only one thing in common (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I found myself gazing at George Washingtonâs teeth the other day. They werenât wooden, as lore has it. On a trip to Mount Vernon in Virginia, which I had somehow never visited as an adult, even though my hometown is named after him, I learned that his spring-loaded dentures were fashioned from human, horse and cow teeth. Washington was always nervous that his teeth would fly out of his mouth. Those chompers kept him in constant pain. But the Father of the Country was uncomplaining, unlike th
