"My first thought was, he lied in every word,
That hoary cripple, with malicious eye
Askance to watch the workings of his lie
On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford
Suppression of the glee, that pursed and scored
Its edge, at one more victim gained thereby."
The first stanza of "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came" ~Robert Browning
Makes me wonder if Browning didn't have just enough prophetic vision to see Trump from 1852.
