Frank Rich: “There is no more naked celebrity in America than Donald Trump. He doesn’t do subtlety. He doesn’t do ‘thought.’ To say he has a political calculus is a wild overstatement. His strategy amounts to no more than junior high school algebra. The equation is: Trump + infantile public statement x infinite repetitions on TV and Twitter = maximum publicity for flailing Trump products and insatiable Trump ego.”

Levi Johnston, father to Sarah Palin’s grandson, “has been forced to move in with his mother after reportedly squandering his $1 million earnings,” the Daily Mail reports.

“The 22-year-old wasted the eye-watering sum on ‘guns, boats and four-wheelers’… The spending has left him penniless and he has now moved in with his mother, a convicted prescription drug dealer, at her home in Alaska.”

BuzzFeed has a deep look into the state of Chelsea Clinton’s job at NBC, which has so far yielded minimal returns for the network.

“Almost
everyone I spoke to for this story — from within NBC and at other
networks as well — agree that that problem is that she won’t talk about
the one thing that makes her undeniably compelling… The must ask
questions: What was it like to live through that in the White House?
What did you know, and when did you know it? How pissed were you at your
father? How do you feel about marriage? Should your mother have
stayed?”

“Eventually, Chelsea will have to answer the
questions listed above, and she’ll likely do so on NBC. (My hunch is
that NBC’s chief Steve Capus’s gamble will prove brilliant in the long
run.) But right now, we’re stuck in another awkward Chelsea Clinton
phase, a kind perpetual sheltered adolescence, still getting to know you
after all these years. And who wants to watch that?”
