Publicly bragging about blatant market manipulation and pointing our who profited the most.
Got it.
See where this takes us...

I misunderstood what he said initially... I thought he said 2.5 million...
HE SAID 2.5 BILLION!
If anyone's seen the movie "The Aristocrats"...
These are the folks they're referencing...
For those that are out of that loop... No worries... it's not a compliment!

'He made $2.5 million, and he made $900 million! Thats not bad!' Trump said, pointing to financial investor Charles Schwab and then NASCAR team owner Roger Penske. The men were part of a visiting guest contingent of mostly racing notables...Schwab is estimated to be worth $12.9 billion and Penske $5.6 billion."

The quote states "million," but that could be a transcription mistake. $2.5 million doesn't seem enough for Trump to brag about.

He surely can recite those financial facts when he wants to. Is this part of his dementia?
