For some reason this song was playing in my head and I looked up the lyrics.
These lyrics could have been written for someone we unfortunately know quite well.

Trump is the Goldfinger villain come to life.

Goldfinger

He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from
Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from
Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold

1. I love those old James Bond movies

5. Joe Caroff, the designer of the "007" logo, died a few days ago, aged 103

The centenarian, paid just $500 for the James Bond symbol, went on to design classic film posters from a Hard Day’s Night to Cabaret

In 1962, David Chasman, marketing executive for United Artists, asked Caroff, a New York graphic designer, to create a publicity letterhead to promote a new thriller, Dr No. As Caroff sketched the numbers 007 against pencil guide lines, he suddenly noticed that the seven resembled the handle of a pistol.

A few refinements later and he had created what would become one of the most recognised emblems in film history. It has appeared on 25 Bond films and been used to sell endless amounts of merchandise. Caroff received $300 for his work and his name has never been in the credits, although the producers did send him an Omega watch, of the kind Daniel Craig’s Bond wears, for his 100th birthday.

Caroff, a modest man who anonymously designed some of the most familiar film posters, was not concerned. “I never made a big thing of it,” he said in a documentary about his career in 2022. “It was a job, I wanted to get it done. I always met my deadlines.” In the design industry, however, his name was respected and, Caroff said, his 007 logo brought a lot of business.

He had impressed people a year earlier with his poster for West Side Story, featuring scuffed black letters on a red background to suggest Manhattan’s brick tenement buildings and angular dancers on fire escapes – though many assumed it was the work of Saul Bass, who designed the film’s titles. Caroff’s love of New York also influenced his design for Manhattan, the 1979 Woody Allen film, in which he replaced the tall letters in the title with silhouettes of familiar skyscrapers.

6. Very interesting thank you. Loved that poster for "Manhattan"

Willie Nelson sold the song “Crazy“ for $50. He said he doesn’t regret it. He could always write another song but he needed the money. I completely understand that
