Donald Trump

The worst of times often create the best opportunities to make good deals.

It’s like in golf… A lot of people – I don’t want this to sound trivial – but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive… it’s weird. You see these great players with these really long putters, because they can’t sink three-footers anymore. And, I hate it. I am a traditionalist. I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist.

That experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you’re generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don’t make.

Most people think small because they are afraid of success, afraid of making decisions, afraid of winning.

You’re having a lot of fun, right? Suppose Hillary got elected instead of Trump, you think it would be so exciting?

Eventually we’re going to get something done and it’s going to be really, really good.

We got killed in Newsweek.

You can’t interview my brother!… We can call this thing off – right now!

I would rather have been beaten up in the media than live a life that wasn’t happy.

I’ve met some great people that deal with me in the press. I’ve also met some people that were very dishonorable, frankly.

The media is really, the word, I think one of the greatest of all terms I’ve come up with is fake. I guess other people have used it perhaps over the years, but I’ve never noticed it.

Television is the first truly democratic culture – the first culture available to everybody and entirely governed by what the people want. The most terrifying thing is what people do want.

[on Megyn Kelly] You could see there was bloody coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever.

I can understand the British media and why they are doing that. It does not add up to much. I’m used in my life to not paying much attention to some things.

[The New York Times] don’t write good. They have people over there, like Maggie Haberman and others, they don’t – they don’t write good. They don’t know how to write good.

The most important service rendered by the press and the magazines is that of educating people to approach printed matter with distrust.

The point is that if you are a little different, or a little outrageous, or if you do things that are bold or controversial, the press is going to write about you.

If you get good ratings, they’ll cover you even if you have nothing to say.

What I try to keep in mind is that there are going to be a lot of articles that are going to be misrepresentative of what I’m about as a person and as a writer.

My people keep telling me I shouldn’t write letters like this to critics. The way I see it, critics get to say what they want to about my work, so why shouldn’t I be able to say what I want to about theirs?

There’s so much comedy on television. Does that cause comedy in the streets?
