Part of my problem is that I have to do a lot of things myself. It takes so much time. Julio Iglesias is coming to Mar-a-Lago, but I have to call Julio, I have to have lunch with Julio. I have Pavarotti coming. Pavarotti doesn’t perform for anybody. He’s the highest-paid performer in the world. A million dollars a performance. The hardest guy to get. If I call him, he’ll do it—for a huge amount less. Why? Because they like me, they respect me, I don’t know.

Is he going to be remembered as the worst thing ever? Would be deeply ironic if he just got forgotten but then people wouldn't learn from history.JUst hope his wrongness doesn't get outdone shortly after he dies painfully,choking to death on a shagpile carpet would be fitting, though too redolent of Elvis.But fingers crossed he doesn't act as a harbinger of things to come.
Just would be so funny if he went to all this bother and wasn't remembered in 20 years time.

"Look, having nuclear - my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart - you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world - it's true! - but when you're a conservative Republican they try - oh, do they do a number - that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune - you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged - but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me - it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are - nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? - but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners - now it used to be three, now it's four - but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years - but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."

also, regarding that 6 month waiting period until he can cash out:
The merger agreement says Trump could waive his six-month lockup provision with approval from Trump Media’s board, whose directors now include Nunes, Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr., and several high-profile Trump allies, including Robert E. Lighthizer, Linda McMahon and Kash Patel, an SEC filing shows.But allowing Trump to cash out early could flood the market and erode the company’s share price, financial experts told The Washington Post.

In re that gag order I find this bit mentioned by the NYT even more telling:
In an unrelated order Tuesday, Justice Merchan issued a stern warning to Mr. Trump’s lawyers as well. He reminded them to behave professionally, or risk being held in contempt.“This court emphasizes that it hopes for and fully expects zealous advocacy from counsel as well as spirited contribution from witnesses and parties alike,” Justice Merchan wrote. “Nonetheless, the court expects that the line between zealous advocacy and willful disregard of its orders will not be crossed.”

i'm sympathetic to the idea that truth social is actually worthless and that the 3.5 billion valuation (that i've seen attached to it in various headlines/articles over the last few months) is way too high and is being propped up by professional liars.
Supposedly most of the market was people who were buying DJT in order to short it. But I'm afraid of some sort of The Producers scenario, in which between the would-be short sellers and the true believers who HODL on to stiggit to the libz, somehow leads to TS having enough market value for Trump to realize substantial gains.

Back in SE Pennsylvania again, there are still no (literal) signs of the guy, which is passively reassuring. But I was just driving around the North Carolina research triangle and environs - Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, etc. - and I know that area is probably an outlier but I didn't see any signs or stickers there, either. Some Biden, some pro-choice billboards, some lingering Haley yard signs, but no Trump. Probably because this one exception was hogging all the flair:
