    Of course he is. There would be one story - one star - on nauseating droning on brag-insult-fest all day long.

    With advertisements for TrumpCo.

    But what will they show when he is on his golf trips, or sleeping?

    I think I will have nightmares about a ‘Truman Show’ morphing into a ‘Trump Show’ in the white house. But wait, don’t we already sort of have that?

    Allegedly he hates the idea of people making money off of him. Even “friends”. The money funneling is only supposed to flow one way. Into his pockets.
