Trump's Gatsby party wasn't just about being a rich SOB. Trump thought he looked like Redford. The NYT had told him so. [View all]

Despite Redford's political opposition to Trump, Trump still praised him as "the hottest" - which probably had everything to do with this brain-dead NYT profile in November 1976:

He is tall, lean and blond, with dazzling white teeth, and he looks ever so much like Robert Redford. He rides around town in a chauffeured silver Cadillac with his initials, DJT, on the plates. He dates slinky fashion models, belongs to the most elegant clubs and, at only 30 years of age, estimates that he is worth “more than $200 million.”

Mango Mussolini probably has that framed.

If there was one Robert Redford role Trump would have identified with, it was Gatsby. Last night Trump was starring in his own Gatsby movie at his shitty Palm Beach club, imagining he was "the hottest."
