His comparison would not understand romance if Melania herself beat him on the arse with a magazine featuring Stormy Daniels on the front cover. Romance is being nice to other people. Mr. Trump does not understand that concept. ---

All this time I thought they were chanting, “Trump, Trump, Trump.” It was actually, “Dump, dump, dump.” ---

If I had to guess, I’d say that Trump was refusing to follow legal advice from the team, or alternately that Trump was demanding that the legal team conduct illegal activities. Edit: Was “Tapioca” a typo or a joke? ---

Look, I want to believe Trump stinks, and shits himself regularly. It would be great. He deserves to be that, and we deserve to point and laugh at that. But if he were that bad, I’d really think we’d be hearing about this way before now. He’s spent time with literally thousands of people in the last 8 years, and surely if he were that bad it would have been well reported by now. I’m not prepared to allow myself the joy of believing it. ---

> [@](#): > > Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump are listed as sole directors of Trump International Golf Club Scotland, whose ultimate owner is The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, but the course owes more than $60 million in interest-free loans to the former president. So it seems that Donald’s usual technique of taking his cut at the beginning and leaving other suckers to take the losses also applies to his sons. Sucks to be them.
