Love him or hate him —there's never been a president like Donald Trump

Leader of the pack

Trump. Who may go down in history as USA’s one and only. The A-1 Trumper. Not what he says — what he does.

He once lobbed a metaphorical grenade at Jeb Bush. The family still remembers those slights. He also took a jab at “Little Marco,” so much that he couldn’t stand taller. Now? Secretary of State.

Love him or not, Donald isn’t Millard Fillmore. Forget John Tyler. Dismiss Franklin Pierce. James Buchanan? WHO?! Can you tell me what Rutherford B. Hayes did, aside from contemplating renaming himself?

James Abram Garfield — Hey, there’s a biggie everyone talks about. Zachary Taylor — wowie! Did what?! William Henry Harrison — WHO?!

If you don’t like him, that’s okay. Then don’t like him. But there’s no one — not even Mrs. Biden the ventriloquist — who can guide us through except for the brilliance, toughness, flamboyance, and fearlessness of Donald Trump!


Chewing on a few meaty ideas

Mega grocer Stew Leonard at the UES’s Beach Cafe for a burger, says about the new concept of government-owned supermarkets: “Bring it on. What could go wrong?” That was twixt bites of what could’ve been his own sold meat patty.

Polo Bar, 85-degree heat, Clive Davis in big green winter sweater plus sport coat. Plus sunglasses. He was set for any climate.

Spaghetti inhalers at Due, Third Avenue, between 79th and 80th, talked of the 10 US wealthiest suburbs. No. 1: Scarsdale. SCARSDALE?! No. 2: Rye. Palm Beach schlepped in at No. 11.


Abuzz for fuzz

Southampton’s Animal Foundation does its Unconditional Love Gala this Saturday to help house homeless pets.

It’s Christie Brinkley, Chevy Chase, Clint Eastwood’s daughter Alison. Baker House on Bridgehampton’s Ocean Road. Please go — 350 are expected. 


Mayor mayday

From a judge: “You can’t fully understand how dangerous a mayor this leftist candidate would be. The NYC GOP must find another charismatic candidate to win in November. Finances, no problem. Jewish people plus mature New Yorkers will vote for the Republican. Nazi young Republicans must stay out of it. Conservative media must lay off the Democrats until after the election.”


Mouthing off

Listen, everybody’s getting into politics. Comes eventually the new show “Canceled.” A behind the headlines type shtick.

They swear it’s “where outrage moves faster than facts” — whatever that’s supposed to mean. Often uncomfortable conversations. Interpreting how we define guilt, justice, redemption, culture, jumping to judgment, vigilantes, weaponized narratives.

No tearing into someone’s home and beating people without the judicial system. So far — nice idea — but more so far is that it has — yet — no network, no outlet.


New York City. Oy. One big new gridlock traffic sign on Fifth Avenue will soon read: “No stopping, no standing, no driving, no parking, no letting on or off — no kidding!”

Only in New York City, kids, only in New York City.
