Trump may be a master charlatan, but charlatans are small fish. His ego makes him think he’s a big fish, but that doesn’t make him one. We need leaders, not egomaniacs. Just ignore him.

Watch Stephen Colbert draw a big chalk cartoon of the Donald’s penis on the Late Show.
How to mistreat women and get away with it Politics becomes entertaining again. First, the Donald wants us to think …
