The TrivGuy makes no apology for his life’s work.

“There is enough stress and bad news going around,” said Wilson Casey, from his home office in Spartanburg, S.C. “Why not provide something so that we can all have some fun and relax?”

Why not, indeed?

Casey’s trivia questions and answers are now carried in more than 500 newspapers — including The Press, where he goes by the handle “TrivGuy.”

The good ol’ boy from South Carolina started this gig with one weekly paper and, 17 years of hard work later, he has found lots of clients and lots of friends.

But Casey is discovering there aren’t many laughs in politics.

“My agent talked me into doing two books,” he said. “The first is ‘101 Reasons to Vote FOR Hillary,’ so naturally the other is ‘101 Reasons to Vote AGAINST Hillary.’”

Casey tried to have some fun with the project, which is almost certain to earn him a boatload of money. National bookseller Barnes & Noble already has ordered thousands of copies.

“But you know, I had a feeling about this getting into politics,” he said. “My trivia, and things I do like golf calendars and Bible calendars, make me the kind of guy you want to have as a speaker. Or just as a friend.

“This politics, though, I’m not so sure people feel the same way.”

Casey’s hint that one or the other of the Hillary Clinton books might rub some people the wrong way came quickly enough.

“I started to get emails from people on both sides,” he said. “Some were really ugly, calling me names. As we sell more books, and as the election gets closer, I’m afraid I’m going to hear and read things that might be a lot worse.”

If Casey is beginning to feel some heat over the Hillary Clinton books, imagine what could have happened if he had done the same two books about Donald Trump.

“You know, it could have happened,” he said. “But with production deadlines and all of that, the timing was such that Trump hadn’t quite sewn up the Republican nomination. So they didn’t do it.”

Casey insists he doesn’t really want to sound mean in the anti-Hillary book, nor does he go completely the other direction in the companion book.

You can judge from some examples, and these snippets will alternate to stay as neutral as possible.

From the FOR Hillary book:

No. 7: Hillary has a sense of humor.

In an “A vs. B” quiz from a March 2016 radio show, she showed her lighter side.

The questions:

1. On a laid-back night at home, pizza or burgers? 2. For your birthday, gift card or something more personalized? 3. When watching granddaughter Charlotte, follow the rules from mom and dad, or take grandparent liberties?

Hillary’s answers: 1. Pizza. 2. Personalized. 3. Liberties (but don’t tell my daughter).

She also was asked for her favorite romantic comedy, and she chose “The Princess Bride.” Aw, she’s human like the rest of us.

AGAINST:

No. 8: Years ago, when we had a Republican in the White House, we had Steve Jobs, Bob Hope, and Johnny Cash. Today we have no jobs, no hope, and no cash. Diapers and Democrats should be changed often, and both for the same reason.

FOR:

No. 68: Hillary from the heart: “The only experience in life that’s not overrated is being a grandmother.”

AGAINST:

No. 37: Hillary is already attracting unwanted attention about her funding from large banks, such as Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley. It’d be nice if Hillary would dress like a NASCAR driver so we could easily identify her corporate sponsors.

FOR:

No. 87: Hillary is a realist.

Watching her husband and President Obama campaign, she said: “It’s poetry. I get carried away, and I’ve seen them a million times.

“That’s not necessarily my forte. But I think what I’ve always been able to do is to really produce results in every job I’ve ever had.”

AGAINST:

No. 43: Chicago Cub fans are in every state in the nation. They are loyal and always pull for their team. Hillary Clinton was born and raised in Illinois and billed herself as a Cubs fan. She has forsaken them, sold them out. During her Senate campaign in New York, she changed to become a Yankees fan just to get more votes.

So, there you have some samples. Is the TrivGuy just having some fun with politics, or are his emails going to get a little rougher as the calendar turns toward November?

“Yeah, I can see the language maybe becoming kind of harsh,” Casey said, chuckling at his own understatement.

“But hey, I’ll still show up for the book signings.”

Therefore, the final question might be: Will TrivGuy need protection from the Secret Service?

If so, things might not be so trivial.
