'I can think of only one person who would beat Trump, hands-down, no problem,' writes columnist LATstevelopez. “Michelle Obama.'
Yes, I said. His supporters are rabid, no matter what he says or does. We’re looking at a trillion-dollar deficit, and the GOP — the party of fiscal conservatism — just shrugs. Consumer prices are rising because of tariffs and a recession is feared, but Trump’s populist supporters don’t mind.
Mr. Tolliver didn’t argue those points. He said he wasn’t wild about any of the options, and his customers aren’t either.The vast majority of his customers are African American, but Mr. Tolliver said Cory Booker is getting lukewarm response.William Taylor, 71, told me he likes Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, but can either of them beat Trump? He’s not sure and neither am I, despite the fact that some polls have shown Biden taking the president down.
Lawrence Tolliver cuts the hair of Arthur Gomez, 26, under a framed portrait of former First Lady Michelle Obama.Finally, we had a consensus. Tolliver, Ella Brown, Yusef Mohammad, Taylor and Lawrence Walker, who was in the chair for a trim, all agreed: Of course Michelle could take Trump. And as if even she was down with the idea, there she was, on a poster on the barbership wall, flexing her bicep like she was preparing for a knockout punch.
I understand and respect that. But we can hold out hope, can’t we? No offense to Amtrak and Conan O’Brien, but unless and until Michele Obama tells it to a higher authority — like Ellen DeGeneres — the dream is alive.
