TARGETING TRUMP

Ingrid Rimland’s slip is showing. By beginning her review of “Trump: The Art of the Deal” (The Book Review, Jan. 24) with a reference to “Atlas Shrugged” she reveals more than she intends.

The fatuous tone of Rimland’s review of Trump’s book leads me to believe that she would love to play Dagny Taggart for his John Galt. If, as Rimland tells us, Trump is “a rocket looking for a target,” she may continue to paint circles upon herself; however, when it comes to Trump’s two-dimensional book, I feel that there are (a) worthier works for critique and (b) more objective critics.
