Quote of the Day

“I first met Donald Trump a couple of months ago at a cocktail party. Someone introduced us, and he immediately started in on a speech about how beloved he was among blacks. He said that everywhere he went, blacks were telling him to run for president and that some hip-hop stars had told him that he was the most popular white man among black people … I was stunned — a smirk frozen on my face. Why this speech? Why me? He had made a quick racial calculation and gone for it.” — New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow, on the 800-lb. albatross around Trump Entertainment Resorts‘ neck.
