Surprised you all didn't mention that Donald's ghostwriter said he made most of it up.

You left out the punchline to Trump's insane bit about the Javits Center: it's where Hillary's victory party was supposed to be held (because the building has glass ceilings, get it?)

Having listened To this episode, I have 2 questions: 1 - did you look into the alleged voicemails left by Trump for journalists in the 80s talking about how great this guy Trump was? And 2 - did you get to read all the Doonesbury Trump strips? Bonus q 3 - are both hilarious and/or tragic?

Trump truly was the first reality TV businessman influencer because he’s absorbed the basic premise of How To Make Friends and Influence People, but he’s not here to make friends.
