I think about all the people I know who are even vaguely Presidential material and I ask what they would do if they found, say, $500 million dollars buried under their tomato plants. It would not occur to any of these folks to maintain five substantial homes, in four of which, as a matter of logic, the staff dusts, cleans and polishes every day on the off chance that the Owner might happen to stop by to go potty or pick a plum or something.
I know it's his spouse's money. I know some of that money is well used, through foundations and such. I know moral seriousness is in short supply in this country, and we should rejoice to find even a little bit of it on somebody's shelf. But these are serious times, and we need adults to lead this country.
