I first saw Donald J. Trump in the late 1980s at the Trump Tower in New York City where he and boxing promoters Bob Arum and Don King introduced Kenyan boxer Robert Wangila Napunyi. I was there as the lawyer for Mr Napunyi, the first and only Kenyan to win a gold medal in the Olympics outside of athletics.
Regrettably, Mr Napunyi later succumbed to injuries sustained in a boxing match in Las Vegas. I’ve a vivid recollection of Mr Trump then as a bombastic, bloviating, and utterly egotistical man. If you had told him he would become US President I would’ve thought you were smoking something. Here we are – Mr Trump has nearly upended American democracy.
