Silly stuff

Vanity Fair: Vanity Fair special correspondent Gabriel Sherman, standing near the bar, ran into Frank Luntz, the Republican pollster, and the two started chatting. Sherman asked Luntz when he last saw the President. ‘Last week, at the White House Christmas party,’ Luntz said. Sherman asked what the two men talked about, to which Luntz replied that he had asked Trump what his middle initial ‘J’ stands for. ‘Genius,’ Trump responded.”


Bloomberg Spent $200M and Doesn’t Have a Single Delegate

Two things you may not know about Trump. He thinks lawyers don't take notes. And here, via the Wall Street Journal is how he handled news that his attorney, Roy Cohn, had AIDS:
Cohn defined the role of fixer for Mr. Trump, but after Cohn became sick with AIDS in the 1980s, Mr. Trump distanced himself, steering business elsewhere. Weeks after he won the presidency in 2016, Mr. Trump told friends at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida resort, that after hosting the dying Cohn for dinner there, “I had to spend a fortune to fumigate all the dishes and silverware.”
