The Candidate from Hell The Man of the Moment (And What a Moment It Is!) ByDonald Trump is all too literally the candidate from hell and, yes, he’s threatening to take the United States and the world to — no place else! — hell and back. He’s the greatest danger to this planet imaginable. And I’m not even thinking about what else he’d do, were he to win election 2024 and return to the Oval Office, having

His son, my father, grew up in Brooklyn, so as a kid in the 1950s, when it came to baseball, I naturally rooted for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Had I, however, lived in Cleveland, I would
