Editor, Times-Union:
In Donald Trump’s own words:
“Nobody knows more about taxes and income than I do.”
“Nobody knows more about construction than I do.”
“Nobody knows more about campaign finance than I do.”
“Nobody knows much more about technology than me.”
“Nobody knows more about environmental impact statements than me.”
“Nobody knows more about polls than me.”
“Nobody knows more about banks than I do.”
“Nobody knows more about trade than I do.”
“Nobody knows more about debt than I do.”
“Who knows more about lawsuits than I do?”
“I understand the tax laws better than almost anyone.”
“I understand money better than anybody.”
“I understand politicians better than anybody.”
“I understand things. I comprehend very well, better than … almost anybody.”
“I understand the power of Facebook, maybe better than almost anybody.”
“I know more about drones than anybody.”
“I know more about ISIS than the generals do.”
“I know more about renewables than any human being on earth.”
“I know more about courts than any human being on earth.”
“I know more about steel workers than anybody that’s ever run for office.”
“I know more about golf than Obama knows.”
“I know more about offense and defense than they will ever understand.”
“I know more about contributions than anybody.”
“And who knows more about the word apprentice than Donald Trump?”
“Nobody in the history of this country has ever known so much about Infrastructure as Donald Trump.”
“I know more than I’m ever gonna tell you.”
“I know a lot.”
“The truth is I’m actually a modest person … very modest.”
“I’m the King.”
Alrighty then! It must be exhausting keeping that much information in his brain’s “rolodex.” No wonder his need for all those cat naps at the Resolute desk.
