    Trump is still salty about ‘Spy Magazine,’ which was a local NYC magazine that went out of business years ago.

    They mocked him without mercy. Once they did a list of the cheapest New Yorkers. They sent 100 rich folks personal checks for about $5.00. Only half bothered to cast them. Then they lowered it to $2.00. About a dozen people took the bait.

    The editors sent checks for thirteen cents [13 pennies, not enough to make a phone call] and two people cashed the checks. Trump and an arms dealer.

      What a cheap bastard. Literally scrooge.

      Ironically, I could see Taco blaming it on his equivalent of a…autopen.

      I like that he’d send pictures of his hands and notes in golden Sharpie for decades. This is from 2015, but at that point, it had gone on for 25 years. I mean, the Confederates dismiss critical conversations about Taco as “TDS”, but to have a vendetta about an insult from 1984? That’s some actual derangement right there…

        The amazing thing about Trump is that no writer would ever produce such a complete idiot.

        I knew about the whole ‘short fingers thing,’ but I had no idea he was still sending pictures.

        Even the Governor from ‘Blazing Saddles’ would have called it off.

          The best thing the phrase was “short fingered vulgarian” aka a common pickpocket. Trump did not get the reference and assumed they were talking about his hands.
