Remember the stories about Trump calling gossip columnists pretending to be his own publicist?

I’m not saying he’s doing that again, but … okay, I admit it.  I am saying that.

He has been noticeably quiet about Forbes Magazine dropping his net worth by $600,000, dropping him 92 slots on their richest people.  No Twitters.  No outrages from Sarah Hunkabooboo.  Hum … that’s unlike Trump.  He loves to brag about how rich he is.

However, Forbes did get an interesting voice mail last night.

“This message is for anyone in concern. I’m a supporter of Donald Trump. I love him and his very intelligent family. And this is like Forbes Magazine are in conspiracy to break this man financially, it seems. Donald Trump has more money than he ever had. So Forbes making noise about some three point something billion is fake news and therefore Forbes is on the drain-the-swamp list. Steve Bannon will make sure magazines and businesses like you will go down because Donald Trump is very intelligent, very handsome. His children are very beautiful, very handsome. They have the highest IQs than any racist or anybody in this county. And we love him, and he will continue to run this country, and his children will too. So f— Forbes Magazine, and you can stick that fake news up your ass.”

If you have to mention your intelligence or IQ three times in one phone message, you probably aren’t all that smart.  And, Honey, there ain’t nobody who would call Trump handsome.

Okay, so maybe this was just one of his friends.  No, it wasn’t and you know it.
