When I asked if he had been chided by any Republicans for his Twitter feud with Elizabeth Warren, he replied, “You mean Pocahontas?” So much for reining it in.

I noted that John Cornyn said he gave Trump some tips on how to discuss illegal immigration more sensitively to woo Hispanic voters. “I love getting advice,” Trump deadpanned. “It’s just what I need, just what I need is more advice. The 17 people I beat are still giving me advice.”

Trump also briefly saw Poppy Bush’s guru, James Baker. “I was more interested in asking him about Ronald and Nancy Reagan and the whole Reagan era than I was in terms of getting advice currently,” Trump said.

As usual in Trumpworld, there was good news. Trump enjoys the status that comes with a Secret Service code name: “Mogul.” Ryan was friendly, if noncommital; Lindsey Graham called to talk ISIS and Syria; nine House committee chairmen endorsed Trump; and a Quinnipiac poll popped up showing Trump effectively tied with Clinton in the swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. “It means I’m going to win the election,” Trump said. The man with no pollster mused, “I think I’ve increased the value of polls.”

And, as is usual in Trumpworld, there was swarming craziness and chaos. When ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos quizzed Trump about why he hasn’t released his tax returns yet, pointing out that Richard Nixon released his while under audit, Trump shot back, “It’s none of your business.”

The candidate who’s under fire for his own tone told me he was offended by Stephanopoulos’s tone. Trump said he’s not afraid that people will find out he’s not as rich as he says. “Tax returns don’t show that,” he said. “They would show, do I use Cayman Islands stuff? And the answer is no, I can tell you right now. Am I ensconced in some of the crazy countries where you keep money and avoid taxes? The answer is no, I don’t do that.”

The Washington Post revived a story, with a new damning audio, about how Trump had masqueraded as his own publicist, named either John Barron or John Miller, to boast about himself back in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. Trump admitted in court testimony in 1990 that he had used the name John Barron as an alias. Former Times editor Joe Sexton told me that he thought he interviewed Trump-as-Barron in 1985 while working as a sportswriter with UPI and chasing a story about the New Jersey Generals. The Post audio on “John Miller” contained classic Trumpisms like “That I can tell you.” CNN interviewed a forensic audio specialist who believed that Trump was posing as Miller. But Trump insisted to me that the Post recording was not his voice. “ Do you know how many people I have imitating my voice now? It’s like everybody.”
