In a recent press conference, Trump informed the world that Michael Avenatti is a “lowlife,” and that the matter of Christine Ford et al. is a “con game.” This gives me pause, for I had no bad opinion of Michael Avenatti nor of Christine Ford et al. But when Trump, who usually does not know what he’s talking about talks about lowlife and con game, I have to listen, for his own life has been lowlife and con game little else.
