Donald is 79-years-old. He feels weird about that.
Today I turn fucking 79. That’s fucking old. Same fucking heart beating day & night constantly for 79 fucking years. And still beating. Jeez

He does not like living in Boca.

He HATES Donald Trump.
The greedy rich, not Buffet or Gates, and moron white men make up the Trump supporters. Not enough of them to win the election or is there?

Never argue with a Trump supporter. They are white, mostly male and dumber than a rutabaga. They hate Muslims Mexicans planned parenthood

Which brings us back to Boca.
Why do the rich of Boca support Trump? Do they want to lose their maids & gardeners? With unemployment under 5% who will take their jobs.

He’s a die-hard liberal.
To Bruce Jenner: Why Bruce? Why would you do such a terrible thing? It’s an abomination. Of course I speak of him being a republican.

Sometimes he just shares general day-to-day updates.
Went to a very expensive restaurant. We were guests. It was delicious. I overate including desert. It’s a great way to kill yourself.

And he’s got some wonderful words of wisdom.
A Muslim, Jew, & Christian walk into a coffee shop & talk, laugh, drink coffee as good friends. It’s what happens when you’re not an asshole

Because, ya know, YOLO.
