Status Updates From Trump and Me

A zeal only loosely tethered to reality. "I love the poorly educated!" he crowed. They loved him back.

"I'm really rich," Trump likes to say. Or the long form: "Part of the beauty of me is that I am very rich." (As ever, in the eye of the beholder.)

And, most important, every square inch belonged to Trump,who had aspired to and achieved the ultimate luxury, an existence unmolested by the rumbling of a soul.

In a 1990 Playboy interview, Trump said that the yacht, the glitzy casinos, the gleaming bronze of Trump Tower were all "props for the show," adding that "the show is "Trump' and it is sold-out performances everywhere."

Btw 4 the haters talking about “how could you drop Marxist theory for this” … could you ignore a book with the review: "MARK, YOU ARE A TOTAL
LOSER! AND YOUR BOOK (AND WRITINGS)
SUCKS! BEST WISHES, DONALD. P.S. AND I
HEAR IT IS SELLING BADLY." From the man himself?

"Donald Trump has been saying he would run for President as a Republican. Which is surprising since I just assumed that he was running as a joke." [ Seth Meyers 2011 White House correspondents’ dinner]
