These were the years of Nixon, Watergate, Vietnam, Ali v. Fraiser. Hunter torches all of them. On more than occasion, Steadman also trains his talents on them.
But Trump! I don’t know whether to be shocked or outraged or flabbergasted that Steadman, saw then what too many can’t bring themselves to see even today. The nature of Trump. I guess that it really shouldn’t surprise me that even way back then that those with eyes to see, to paraphrase the good book, saw what was really up. Hell, I remember the first time I stumbled upon Jim Harrison excoriating Trump form the pages of a foodie article he’d published back in the day. It wasn’t his only shot at the petty narcissim and cruelty of a selfish, uncritical mind.
