“We made our mistakes back in the 20th century, Lord knows, but we never nominated a man for president who brags about not reading.”

Garrison Keillor (1942) American radio host and writer

"Garrison Keillor: God help us. We’re in trouble down here." in The Washington Post (26 July 2016)
Context: We made our mistakes back in the 20th century, Lord knows, but we never nominated a man for president who brags about not reading. Calvin Coolidge had his limits. Warren G. Harding spent more time on his hair than strictly necessary. Lyndon Baines Johnson was a piece of work. But all of them read books. When I envision a Trump Presidential Library, I see enormous chandeliers and gold carpet and a thousand slot machines. God help us. I mean it. We’re in trouble down here.
