politics and politicians Title: Exclusive Excerpt from Ann CoulterÂ’s New Book: The Reality TV Star WeÂ’ve Been Waiting for! Everything that seems like a disability with Trump always turns out to be an advantage. If we were in the laboratory, designing the perfect presidential candidate, its unlikely we would have produced a tasteless, publicity‐seeking, coarse, billionaire, reality TV star. Ha! Look at how wrong we were. It turns out, that is exactly what we needed. The Miss Grundys of the party all say, Ill tell you this, Donald Trump frightens me. Hes a vulgarian, a loudmouth, a boor. If the GOPs real complaint with Trump is that they think he cant win because of the trophy wives, the divorces, the bad grammar, and the gold fixtures, then why havent they been able to produce another candidate without those problems but with Trumps issues? They claim they dont mind Trumps positions on immigration and tradethey just wanted a candidate more like Mitt Romney to take them. Thats a creature that doesnt exist in nature. Close your eyes and try to imagine Romney saying the things Trump has said. He couldnt survive two minutes of the abuse. The problem with trying to find an old‐school WASPy, understated, dry, less‐is‐more, antique leather, sturdy wood‐and‐brass type to take Trumps positions is that all those people agree with NPR on everything. Their good taste is their undoing. Only someone who brags about his airlines seatbelt buckles being made of solid gold would have the balls to do what Trump is doing. Being crude is an indispensable requirement. It gives him resistance to the opinion of Manhattan sophisticates. Everything that seems like a disability with Trump always turns out to be an advantage.

Their good taste is their undoing. Only someone who brags about his airlines seatbelt buckles being made of solid gold would have the balls to do what Trump is doing. Being crude is an indispensable requirement. It gives him resistance to the opinion of Manhattan sophisticates. Its extremely rare for people to take positions that will hurt them with their friends. Being pro‐choice in Hollywood: not brave. Being pro‐choice in Mississippi: brave. Trump lived among fancy Manhattanites. What he was saying on immigrationto say nothing of eliminating the carried interest deduction for hedge fund managerswas going to cost him friends. Trump didnt care. He has no nerve endings for peer pressure. The standard riposte to someone who wants to restrict immigration is: You dont understandyour positions are very gauche, very déclassé. Theyre not shared by the people you want to impress. These are the opinions of ethnics in the outer boroughs. Other people would say, Oh, my goshdid anyone see? Trump said, Yeah, I think I still want to build a wall. The sophisticates didnt have a comeback. Theyd never gotten that far with anyone else. The media successfully smeared Romney as an out‐of‐touch multimillionaire, whacking working‐class Americans with his polo mallet. He was helpless. Tasteful people dont talk about themselves, and they certainly dont talk about money. Not Trump! Early in Trumps campaign, journalist Mark Halperin asked him about the backlash against rich candidates like Mitt Romneyany chance of that with you? Trump said, First of all, he wasnt rich. And that was that. How do you attack someone for being rich who is constantly bragging about how rich he is? Yes, yes, Im a WASP, tooits appalling, embarrassing, awfulbut oh, my gosh, does it work! Luckily, voting machines register only yes or nonot yes, but I hate myself. Trump is like a Shakespearean fool: he seems crass because he speaks the truth. Fashionable people might cringe when Mike Tyson shows up at the inaugural ball as a guest of honor, but nobody else is giving us a wall. The Trump candidacy puts Democrats in an extremely awkward position. They are the party of elegance and fabulosity, but also claim to be the party of the blacks and brownswho see absolutely nothing wrong with Trumps taste. Jay Z and Beyoncé may not like Trumps positions, but, boy, they like his style. Theyre asking themselves, How can a person of such taste be a Republican? Hes P. Diddy in the Hamptons, disturbing the neighbors with his parties. The more you think about it, the more you realize Trump has an awful lot of useful tools in his toolbox: he has all that on‐camera experience; hes perfectly comfortable walking into a gaggle of microphones; he loves being in the limelight and hes gotten really good at it. If Trump hadnt been a narcissistor, as we now see it, a self‐confident alpha malehe would never have raised all those awesome issues, and certainly would have backed down at the first yelp from the press. Americans would have had to watch in horror as he clarified that what he meant was that Mexico was sending us its David Livingstones and Niels Bohrs, to do the jobs Americans wont do. In Trumps first week running for president, he lost tens of millions of dollars for the Mexican rapists line alone. Univision dumped Trumps Miss USA pageant; NBC dumped both the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants; Macys dumped his ties; and ESPN dumped his Trump National Golf Club for the Celebrity Golf Classic. Asked about the lost businesses, he said, I had disloyal people like Macys, and like others, Oh, Donald, youre a little controversial, were going to have to drop you, were going to have toI said, I dont care. The ties, what do they mean to me? [Motions to the moderator] Hes wearing one of my ties, by the way, its very nice. Very nice. I never liked them that much because they were made in China, so it never mattered that much. If it takes a narcissist to do that, we need more narcissists running for public office.
