It remains to be seen whether Donald Trump can outrun his legal woes, his financial woes, and, in a larger sense, some sort of overdue reckoning for a cruelly lived, manifestly appalling existence. But he did manage to slither out front for another victory in the Attention-Whore Index Poll. And a real nail-biter it was! Almost like scrambling to pay a nine-figure fine when the clock is ticking and your resources are depleted.
Last week’s top four finishers were separated by a relative handful of votes: Trump, 24.3 percent; the compulsive private-jet-setter Kim Kardashian, 23.8 percent; Don Lemon antagonist Elon Musk, 21.1 percent; and the governor with that newly dazzling smile, Kristi Noem, 16.8 percent.
