First, a note: I would like to clarify the intent of my recent essays. As most of you know, I was trained as a lab scientist. When I chose to leave research, I visited my thesis advisor and asked him if I was abandoning my career by leaving science. He wisely...
Trump / Personal History
I BELIEVE IN PATTERNS
The past is prologue. What a person does in his private life is usually reflected in what he does in his business life and his public life. I have written before about how Mr. Trump’s distain for giving money to Hospitals, Universities, Cultural Institutions,...
THE ANATOMY OF A TRUMP LIE
The Anatomy of a Trump Lie All Trump lies begin with a kernel of truth; but when fully formed have mutated into something unrecognizable. Take this quote from the Speech on Tuesday Night: “The Panama Canal was built by Americans for Americans, not for others, but...
SHUFFLE AND SHAKE
Shuffle and Shake. The Trump administration is now pushing a story that his comments about “fine people” in Charlottesville were about those protesting the removal of a stature of R.E. Lee. Let’s look at this a little deeper: Point 1. The comments that were made at...

TRUMP DOES NOT LIE
I am not trained in understanding people’s motivations. I cannot read their minds or understand how they think. I can only observe patterns and extrapolate future actions from prior ones. We do as we have done. I believe it is possible to correlate Mr. Trump and...
GOOD GENES
Trump in 2020: “You have good genes. A lot of it is about genes, isn’t it, don’t you believe? The racehorse theory — you think we’re so different? You have good genes in Minnesota.” He believes that intelligence, intellect, ability and success is directly related to...
TIPPING POINTS
We love horror movies in the same way we love roller coasters. We love the sense of fear, knowing that in the end everything will work out and the hero will triumph; we will leave the movie or the carny ride safely. I wish that this was truth in the real world, but...
TRUMPS GREATEST GAFFES
Following the Kansas City Chiefs' victory over the San Francisco 49ers during the Super Bowl, Trump took to Twitter to congratulate the winning team for representing the "Great State of Kansas." The only problem is that the Kansas City Chiefs are based in the state of...
