A thoughtful, measured meditation on Trump:
Our poor celebrities. When it comes to President Trump, they are damned if they do, damned if they don’t. Just ask Tom Brady or Ashley Judd.
Seems like celebrities have three choices: Blast Trump like Madonna did and anger half the country, “embrace” Trump like Matthew McConaughey did and anger the other half of the country, or just shut the hell up.
Probably best to just shut the hell up.

“Dandy Drunk” Don Lemon interviewed the director of a new film called I Am Not Your Negro (above).
I recall thinking when I first saw that title: “This thing is going to set box-office records.”
… Sometimes I lie to you.

I don’t understand it. Unlike, say, Sarah Palin, Trump does not come off like a complete idiot at press conferences or in sit-down interviews. But on Twitter he often sounds like a drunken 10-year-old:
Maybe someday we’ll discover that it was really Barron doing the tweeting.
