If you haven’t read it, go to a library or a bookstore and read the last chapter of Michael Wolfe’s “Landslide.” The depiction of Merde-a-Lardo is surpassed only by Wolfe’s transcription of Trump stream of consciousness recitation of falsehoods, revenge fantasies and boasting, interrupted only by Wolfe asking questions like, “Who coordinated this election fraud?” and the confabulating five year old’s answers of “soon, soon, all the names, big names.” Sorry, Roy, your Trump is too focused and succinct.

What makes me less believable than Michael Wolff? Was he there?

Yes, he was. So were Leonnig and Rucker, who wrote "I Alone Can Fix It" (not at the same time). That's another thing about Trump, he's eager to talk to anybody about his grievances. Why did he let Wolfe interview him? "Because I made you a lot of money with that book." Any publicity is good publicity to Trump. What he can't stand is people not paying him attention. The scene at M-a-L, with the members applauding him when he comes to dinner, the fawning and bowing and scraping. Don Corleone would be embarrassed.

Maybe you should tell him you want to interview him. I'd pay to read the result.

Don Corleone would dismiss him with another 'That pimp.'.

Any publicity is good publicity when you’re a tabloid star. As a POTUS not so much. But that’s a point too subtle for Donnie’s limited intellect and/or gut.

I believe I’ve made that point. But I let it slide if Donnie’s being mocked enough :)
