Boston Globe letter, August 27, 2015

JOHN SILBER certainly had a memorably acerbic and ear-catching style of expression, but Scot Lehigh is wrong to equate him to Donald Trump (“Donald Trump is John Silber Redux,” Opinion, Aug. 26).

Silber’s often colorful comments were grounded in a well thought out philosophy. Trump is a bombastic blowhard and bully whose only guiding principle is narcissistic self-aggrandizement.
