Please bear with me. After bragging about the Dow Jones’ performance since he returned to office, Trump then explained why the US Institute of Peace had been rebranded as his. “They said there’s a surprise coming,” he mused. “I didn’t know the surprise. I thought they were going to give me a lot of money or something, maybe cash — can always use some extra cash. But I came and they stopped the beautiful beast. I got out very safely, I’m sure, and looked up and there it said Donald J Trump on the building. And when I say that that was — had nothing to do [with me] — nobody believes it and that’s OK, but I appreciated it.”
