An astute observation, to be sure.
Speaking of assholes, there is a book out called ASSHOLES: A THEORY. It's written by a professor out of Cal State Irvine, I believe (can't immediately recall his name). I found it one day upon a visit to Barnes and Noble. I was actually looking for a different book, but saw the title and, of course, wondered if I was one. Turns out, no, I'm not; maybe a jerk, but not an asshole. However, one of the initial persons named as an example of a classic asshole was, guess who...yes, his initials are DJT. And the book was published well prior to the 2016 elections.
