Trump wouldn't know G. I. Gurdjieff from Tallulah Bankhead 😂 I remember late summer 1979 I drove eight hours from Toronto to New York City for the premier of Meetings With Remarkable Men! He influenced my worldview but I never really got into the meditation - LSD, peyote, mushrooms, and some other shit yes, meditation no.

I don't think Trump had many experiences like that, or read anything by Dostoevsky or Norman Mailer, or read Anything of substance, or sat in front of a Monet at MoMA for than five seconds. But I'm sure he was a big fan of Citizen Kane though! But maybe not the third act.

'Rosebud...'

My Golden Economics Rule is to make as much money, doing as little work as possible, while not screwing over anybody. The exception is government and the oligarchs who run them, they are always fair game, the only rule being don't get caught.
