Donald Trump himself doesn't surprise me so much. He is just the classic charlatan, the snake-oil salesman, the circus ring master who promises thrills and chills and a new heart and a new brain. Hey, presto! Forget your cares! I will make you happy and well ("Trump's inherent dishonesty," Sept. 20)!
What does surprise me is the number of people who are buying into his charade. Even after the green curtain has been drawn back innumerable times showing the little man behind it madly working his deception machines to keep the illusions alive, people still believe in the Great Oz. What is it they say? There's a sucker born every minute?
