CHARLES MANSON PRAISES DONALD TRUMP

Among his letters collected after Charles Manson died, the mass murderer wrote this short note:

"I read about Donald Trump and he excites my killer instincts. The man will do anything to advance his interests. In order to be killer, you have to have the same mindset. I also like the fact that he has had many female followers. Some of his women remind me of my girls. They are as crazy as him just as my gals were as crazy as me.

"When I read about the bloody mess he is leaving the country during his savage spree as President, I can't help but recall the two nights when we stabbed those people to death. I wish Donald and his latest lay had been members of my gang. We could have killed dozens more. We could have swum in gore.

"I relate to Donald. Why? We're both monsters. In the fantasy worlds we inhabit, we rationalize any behavior, no matter how bizarre, as acceptable. When I'm lying on my bunk and speculating about Donald's latest outrageous deed, I feel I'm in the company of a fellow madman. I ejaculate imagining the destruction we could have cause together.

"Donald is working his maniacal magic on the rednecks, the racists and the religious right. If he convinces the most prominent figures of the Republican Party to help him paint the streets red with the blood of their fellow citizens, I will cut my hair to honor an individual crazier than me. You can count on Donald to do the most awful things. He's blessed. He doesn't suffer from a guilty conscience."
