So the publisher wants me to trim down 700 to 400 pages in "The Best of..." collection. Tsk tsk. Below will be 
the revised mini-essay to serve as the final piece. Although I detest Trump, to be fair, I realized, thanks to 
you, that I had no evidence that he had raped a 13-year-old, though I did have have evidence that, as an adult, 
there was evidence that she made an accusation. Also, I added another sentence with a positive ending. 
Meanwhile, Happy Earth Day. 
The Last Word: Yikes! 
When George W. Bush was elected president in the year 2000, it was due to the electoral college (a rigged system 
which originally intended to prevent slaves from voting and evolved to gerrymandering), even though Bush's 
opponent, Al Gore, won the national popular vote. Hillary Clinton was elected senator that year, and she 
announced that the first thing she would do was to get rid of the electoral college. A few years later, as a columnist 
for the New York Press, I sent her a letter asking about the status of that promise. She didn't reply. 
On November 8, 2016, a crooked businessman, liar extraordinaire, bragging pussy-grabber, make-America-
white-again, anti-choice, anti-Semite, fake Christian, accused rapist of a 13-year-old in 1994 (she canceled a press 
conference one week before the election because of death threats if she filed a lawsuit), climate-change hoaxer, 
twitter addict, homophobic, apprentice politician, fucking fascist, and Vladimir Putin's "useful idiot," namely 
Donald Trump, who was elected as an insanely narcissistic dictator based on the electoral college, whereas his 
opponent, Hillary Clinton, won the national popular vote by almost three million individuals galore, to no avail. 
Irony lives. But the monster has inadvertently awakened a population to resist.
