Keep your options open. Always. Consistency is dull. You think I got to be one of the richest guys in the country by being consistent?

The media loved it. Look, he even hates babies! Nobody hates babies. Same way he hates Muslims and Mexicans! Big story everywhere. Just as the story of the Muslim dad with his quiet wife who wants to teach me the Constitution began to fade. Perfect timing, really.

All the press that hates me, Washington Post, New York Times, full of me. Twitter, too. The whole world! Honestly, sometimes it makes me laugh. Especially when they say he’s gone too far now, he’s peaked! I love that. I tell you, can’t remember how many times I’ve “peaked” — and usually in a story on Page One.

By the way, you may be wondering why I’m writing this diary. I don’t read books. Don’t have time. I don’t like planning or consultants. Or reflection. It’s all gut with me. But I figure some day people may wonder how I got to be president of the United States.

That’s easy. I know what Americans want. They don’t want truth. They want excitement, disruption. They want to be led. They want authority. They want victories. They want parades. They want a wall at the Mexican border — so let them think I really might build one! You think they’re happy with Obama’s managed decline? Give me a break!

All I have to do in the next 96 days is make Hillary seem dull. You know, yesterday’s news. Used goods. Rigged, crooked establishment. Americans want change. She’s more of the same.

And, honestly, she’s no more honest than I am! Truth is over. Attention spans are over — and I never had one anyway. That’s what the press doesn’t get.
