so on 20 April 2010, Big Red made an appearance on AliMcJ's Dolls on blogspot, on behalf of the Grammar Police in support of Ms. Lauper, to say,
". . . so my dears, the lovely Ms. Lauper, in the Celebrity Apprentice boardroom, said 'I felt bad . . . ' about one or another event that affected people personally in that day's task. Without letting her finish, the Donald said, 'Badly. You felt badly.'
"'Mmmmm. Badly,' she said and continued, knowing well that her capacity for feeling is not in the least stunted, ill, or faulty, as the adverb badly suggests. One can see badly, if one's vision is bad. One can smell bad or badly, and they mean two different things.
. . . and so today, I, Big Red of the International Grammar police, have come to induct the Donald into the Hall of Fame at the Nathan Detroit School of Grammar." (20 May 2010: he's a Hall of Famer)
Great Googamooga, Trump speaks in Orwellian monosyllabic hyperbole; the least he could do is know how to use bad and badly well, or more simply, know how to use bad and badly correctly.
I repeat this key exchange today, 21 May 2016, as an example of how very protected the ignorance of Donald Trump is. Like Ms. Lauper, most people find it's simply easier to ignore him than to help him. His advisors will be dropping one by one (as he fires them or no longer holds them hostage) with statements reflecting the same experience: too much trouble. He has learned nothing: giving his music teacher in the second grade a black eye because the Donald felt (and admittedly as you see here, he is not good at feeling, as he feels badly) that he, the second-grader from the Bronx and Queensknew more about music than the teacher. That is the key to the Donald. He grows more ignorant daily: fewer people are inclined to deal with him in a helpful way because it's easier to ignore him than to teach him: he has spent his life this way.
