So President Biden, in a display of his eminent human decency, tried to call the widow of the man who was killed . . .

92. I just know Trumo is going to call her any minute now with condolences.

He'll call to squeeze her for a donation. He'll lean into it. He'll tell her that she wouldn't want her husband to die in vain, and that she'd want to honor his loyalty as a Trump supporter, and the way she can honor that is to "chip in."

Some who read this may think I'm kidding. If so, follow David Corn on Twitter. He's on Trump's mailing list and shares "fundraising" emails and texts from Trump regularly. Trump will want to make that call because he can never leave cash on the table.

The Trump Files: The Easiest 13 Cents He Ever Made

In its short-lived existence, Spy magazine had a lot of fun with Donald Trump. The New York-based monthly is best known for making fun of the size of Trump’s fingers, but its deepest cut may have come as part of a 1990 prank.

Spy correspondent Julius Lowenthal wanted to know just how cheap some of the city’s richest figures were. So he set up a company, called the National Refund Clearinghouse, and sent letters with checks for $1.11 enclosed, “for services that you were overcharged for.” The letters went out to 58 “well-known, well-heeled Americans,” 26 of whom promptly cashed them. Curious as to how low they might go, Lowenthal sent those 26 “nabobs” a second refund check, for $0.64. This time, 13 people cashed them.

Finally, he sent those 13 respondents a check for $0.13. This time, only two people cashed the check. One was an arms dealer. The other was Donald Trump, whom the magazine identified as a “demibillionaire casino operator and adulturer.”
