🐰 Then what does all this–the yacht, the bronze tower, the casinos–really mean to you?
TRUMP: Props for the show.
🐰 And what is the show?
TRUMP: The show is “Trump” and it is sold-out performances everywhere.
Here's another from Playboy in 1990:
"Everything in life to me is a psychological game, a series of challenges you either meet or don’t. I am always testing people." - Donald Trump
DJT: Every successful person has a very large ego.
🐰 Mother Teresa? Jesus Christ?
DJT: Far greater egos than you will ever understand.
🐰 And the Pope?
DJT: Absolutely. Nothing wrong with ego. People need ego, whole nations need ego. I think our country needs more ego.
"If I ever ran for office, I’d do better as a Democrat than as a Republican – and that’s not because I’d be more liberal, because I’m conservative. But the working guy would elect me. He likes me." - Donald J. Trump, 1990

2. An Atlantic City hotel owner worried that Donald Trump wanted to monopolize the city's gambling industry for himself. A New Jersey judge thought that was crazy. (Updated)
I am finishing up a post about a very long 1990 Playboy Magazine interview that is just insane. It probably would have cost Trump any election prior to 2016. Here are some of the less disastrous comments. ⬇️
Today in 1993, a New Jersey judge ordered Sands Casino to pay $8 million to settle a property dispute with Donald Trump and Bob Guccione. trumpfile.org/donald-trump-b…
In the 1980s, Trump blocked Guccione from selling his never-completed Atlantic City property. But in March of 1989, Trump bought the property from Guccione after the 'Penthouse' owner threatened to expose his affair with Marla Maples.
Sands Casino’s parent company sued both Trump and Guccione, alleging that they conspired to lock other investors out of the area so Trump could pursue a monopoly on Atlantic City gambling.
1. Yesterday's post about Giuliani / Trump associate Sam Kislin has been updated to include the former FBI agent Kislin hired to defend him. The agent became so entangled in organized crime that the FBI denounced him. trumpfile.org/giuliani-donor…
2. The hospital executive who lives at Trump Tower Chicago has resigned after allegedly misusing his power to vaccinate friends and associates before qualified vaccine recipients. (Updated) trumpfile.org/trump-tower-ch…

During the impeachment hearings, @RepGwenMoore identified three threats we faced by keeping Trump in office for two more weeks:
1) He could declassify state secrets 2) He could sell state secrets to our enemies 3) He could pardon the insurrectionists
"It was really obvious from the beginning that this was a coordinated plot, and the absence of any early intervention was real clear indication that there was support at very high levels of our administration... Maybe even Individual One." - @RepGwenMoore
Ron DeSantis has actively covered up Florida’s COVID-19 numbers and sent law enforcement after someone who didn't. Most recently, he banned critical race theory from public schools, opting for a whitewashed education curriculum.
Ted Cruz recently fled the country to escape a crisis in Texas, the state he represents, and then he blamed his daughter. He is a favorite of the Parler dark money donor family, the Mercers. Seems super fit to be president someday.
