I think you can tell that Donald is not about money itself but the hard work that goes into accumulating wealth and making your mark.

Yes. Moral righteousness, integrity, hard work, insane dedication, compassion... and the bonus for Trump is pride in achievement and a weekend at Mar-a-Largo with family.

I’m a fan of surrealism.

For some reason, the dream world has always struck me as the most authentic depiction of human nature, because it conveys for us timeless truths.

Which was what the now-famous Trump portrait did. A good riff off Rene Magritte.

The Monday after Bush-43 was sworn in I got to work a little early so that I could take down Clinton and Reno’s pictures and put them through the shredder. When my receptionist arrived she came in to my office laughing and said she just knew those pictures would be gone when she walked in! Felt pretty good watching that shredder eat them!

He was quite fetching when young, I must say!

That’s it. Same here.
