I cannot imagine why people like him. Perhaps it's a generational thing? I was born in '75. But how would the fact that he is the most annoying singer ever change if I were born earlier? It would not. He's horrible. I got started googling this because I heard part of an interview with him on my NPR station last night, from the podcast The Daily.

That being said, I am honestly not sure what would at this point, up to and including evidence of direct Russian involvement in the election and his personal finances (which I am convinced is out there waiting for Mr. Mueller). Various Senators and Representatives will be "concerned" and "alarmed" and will do nothing.
