"And it was the worst of times." . . . Please come CAPTION Ernest Hemingway/Donald Trump!!!




Donald ("Hemingway, eat your heart out!) Trump is texting: "The money funds were depleted, sweating, leaning against the wall beside the rushing flow. The creditors will breach the door any second, they thought, then we'll hav to learn to start breating underwater fast."

then

"'That one is blind,' he thought. Flynn knew his alleys. 'He's got to come out sometime. And when he does, I'll have some pointed suggestions.'"

then

"KellyAnne slowly lifted her skirt. I knew I shouldn't look, but I was a goner."

then

"The Clinton troops had sucked the countryside dry. There were only a few groves left for cover. 'It isn't much,' I thought, 'but with any luck I could be in camp by nightfall.'"


etc.

******************************************************************

Above CAPTIONs based on Cory Lewandowski's comparison of Hemingway's tweets to Hemingway's fiction, presumably in terms of quality of style. Covered here at DU:
