"John Barron"-- "I'm, I mean Mr. Trump, is really rich!"
Jonathan Greenberg, on reporting for the Forbes 400 (of richest Americans): In May 1984, an official from the Trump Organization called to tell me how rich Donald J. Trump was."It was "John Barron." (BTW, what sort of man names his son after his sock puppet?)
Greenberg has tapes (imagine! from 1984!) including one of Roy Cohn. "Trust me!"
Great stuff.
Really, who could possibly vote for this guy? I know, I know, the Trumpettes studiously refuse to read these articles, and when they see/hear the Access Hollywood tape they loyally say, "That doesn't sound like him," even though a moment later someone who LOOKS a whole lot like him walks out of the RV still jabbering in the same voice.
But really. How long can they just ignore all these reports, going back decades?

And that's how he became president of the United States

(9,426 posts)2. Why was he included if it was
so obvious? He has conned his way into positions so many times, too bad nobody thought to obstruct him and his lies. Now the entire gop is protecting him from the investigation into Russia's meddling in the election. Maybe they are really protecting themselves and their own involvement?

They knew he had already lied but still decided to just accept some things he said.
