Do you really want to consent to having your online activity profited-on by someone else, being monetized away from you just because you want to ‘like’ something or get some likes back?

They made their fortunes and were generous enough to bequeath some of their riches to foundations and museums and educational institutions larger than themselves. They live to this day. Even lesser lights like Harvey Mudd and Paul Tulane or even Oral Roberts and Jerry Falwell understood: a legacy is more than how much you can stuff down your trousers right now. Don Trump Sr. has not yet come to grasp this; he may yet, if he truly has the resources (doubtful) or the philanthropic spirit (even more doubtful). Continue reading →

Does anyone know if Don Trump Sr. is good at chess or bridge and strategical-thinking games like those, the way that verifiably smart persons such as Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are good at them?

Indeed, they pay off at the wire. Continue reading →
