Do you know how much those PR guys want? Trump didn't get rich by writing checks to people who work for him.

"The voice is instantly familiar; the tone, confident, even cocky; the cadence, distinctly Trumpian. The man on the phone vigorously defending Donald Trump says he’s a media spokesman named John Miller, but then he says, “I’m sort of new here,” and “I’m somebody that he knows and I think somebody that he trusts and likes” and even “I’m going to do this a little, part time, and then, yeah, go on with my life.”

A recording obtained by The Washington Post captures what New York reporters and editors who covered Trump’s early career experienced in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s: calls from Trump’s Manhattan office that resulted in conversations with “John Miller” or “John Barron” — public-relations men who sound precisely like Trump himself — who indeed are Trump, masquerading as an unusually helpful and boastful advocate for himself, according to the journalists and several of Trump’s top aides."

I remember thinking, at the time, that if I were Marla Maples and the father of my out of wedlock daughter were a prominent and flamboyant wealthy man, I would not have named her after a world famous jewelry store. Tacky, tacky.

He's been absolutely tremendous in his latest tv role. He portrays a narcissistic psychopath running for president. It's far fetched and really pushes my ability to suspend disbelief at times, but the man really sells it.

In a 1991 recording obtained by The Washington Post’s Marc Fisher, a man who claims to be a spokesman for Donald Trump named John Miller tells a People magazine reporter about Trump’s first divorce, his romance with France’s future first lady and his messy breakup with Marla Maples.

Did anyone see the Megyn Kelly interview with Carswell tonight?

Carswell claims that she "lost" the tape 25 years ago...that Trump took it...and that he released it to the WPost

and then goes on the Today Show and tells Savanah Guthrie and Matt Lauer that it isn't him?

If that is the case, then he needs psychiatric help.
