I'm just glad he doesn't own a real piece of art. *shudder*

Err, sorry to break it to you, but in 1996...

I was prepared to like him as I boarded his black 727 at La Guardia for the flight to Mar-a-Lago, his Florida home—prepared to discover that his over-the-top public persona was a clever pose. That underneath was an ironic wit, an ordinary but clever guy. But no. With Trump, what you see is what you get. His behavior was cringe-worthy. He showed off the gilded interior of his plane—calling me over to inspect a Renoir on its walls, beckoning me to lean in closely to see . . . what? The luminosity of the brush strokes? The masterly use of color? No. The signature. “Worth $10 million,” he told me.

The DJT Foundation has mostly been spending down a single huge donation (too lazy to look it up) from Vince and Wossname McMahon (of the WWE McMahons) made a few years ago -- details in Fahrenthold's piece.

You scared me for a moment -- thought "Jitzgerald" was my typo! Then again, if you simply dislike ol' F Scott, it's a fine insult.

I realize that rich people can be just as gullible as the rest of us, but surely, there are no rich people left who are gullible enough to trust the Donald J. Trump Foundation after all of these stories?

I think I've figured out why all the exposés of Trump as a lying, thieving, fraudulent racist blowhard aren't having any effect on the Trumpanzees: it's because they WANT a lying, thieving, fraudulent racist blowhard as their president.

Yeppers, all these 'threats to sue', but no actual suing going on. Can you imagine what would come out about this miserable shitweasel if he went ahead with a lawsuit? Ooooh my!

What is it with the American nouveau riche and fake Louis the XIV furniture? It's awful! Rush Limbaugh's apartment was plastered with it too. So tacky.

Just who are the idiots that keep financing Trump's slush fund foundation?

I would love to see a vox pop asking Trump supporters what they think they are going to get when their hero is in power?

The Tea Party turned into the "TP" party.

Strangely enough, Trump was also in trouble over the height of a flagpole at his golf course in Scotland. Why does he have an obsession with oversized poles?
