> [@jsc1953](#): > > A. Can’t say I’ve ever heard of Tim O’Brien, but Trump certainly seems to remember him. I’m familiar with him as a pundit, usual on MSNBC. He’s one of the few people who has seen Trump’s tax returns, although it was many years ago. Had to do with Trump suing him. IIRC, part of the settlement was he can’t talk about the returns but I may have that wrong. From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_L._O%27Brien): > [@](#): > > O’Brien has written two nonfiction books: 1998’s _Bad Bet: The Inside Story of the Glamour, Glitz, and Danger of America’s Gambling Industry_ (ISBN 0-8129-2807-5) and 2005’s _TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald_ (ISBN 978-1422366189). > > … > > _TrumpNation_ is notable for its claim that celebrity real estate mogul Donald Trump was worth no more than $250 million (USD). Trump, who claimed at the time to be a billionaire and who has built a reputation upon his wealth, filed suit against O’Brien and Warner Books on January 23, 2006. On July 15, 2009, the suit was dismissed by a New Jersey judge.[1] Trump appealed, but the dismissal was upheld by an appeals court on September 7, 2011.[2] > > O’Brien is also a contributing, on-air analyst with NBC/MSNBC where he frequently appears to discuss politics and national affairs. ---

Gotta wonder if Individual #1 is worried about what was found in Jeff Epstein’s safe. Myself, I think he started out as a ‘client’ and probably ended up as a sort or weird business partner. Trump had ‘modeling’ agencies. Uh huh. Epsteins… depravity would tie in nicely with [Trumps ‘Modeling Agency’ (Mother Jones Link)](https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/08/donald-trump-model-management-illegal-immigration/) And not to forget [Miss Teen USA](https://people.com/politics/donald-trump-walks-in-miss-teen-usa-contestants-changing/) Just IMHO. ---

They were told that the White House didn’t want a solemn moment to be turned into a photo op - then went ahead and released their own pictures of Trump meeting with people. (Obviously, the real concern was what people might have said to him, and his utter inability to express empathy.) ---

And then you had this crazy Beto. Beto had like 400 people in a parking lot, they said his crowd was wonderful.” > > White House officials blocked reporters and their cameras from entering the two hospitals during his visits to Ohio and Texas this week, a move they said was out of respect for the patients’ privacy. But according to one person familiar with the President’s reaction, \*\*the President lashed out at his staff for keeping the cameras away from him, complaining that he wasn’t receiving enough credit. \*\*Aides had feared a moment like the one that is now going viral — where the President appears to focus on himself in front of those still recovering from a tragedy. [my bold] As always, poor Trump is the aggrieved one. ---
