The Fake Renoir


45* believes he's the final arbiter of what's true and what's not.  He's a propagandist.

Inside The Hive (Vanity Fair), Nick Bilton interviews Tim O'Brien



Years ago, while reporting a book about a real-estate developer and reality-TV star named Donald Trump, Tim O’Brien accompanied his subject on a private jet ride to Los Angeles. The plane, as you can imagine, was overly ornate; hanging on one wall, for instance, was a painting of two young girls—one in an orange hat, the other wearing a floral bonnet—in the impressionistic style of Renoir.

Curious, O’Brien asked Trump about the painting: was it an original Renoir? Trump replied in the affirmative. It was, he said. “No, it’s not Donald,” O’Brien responded. But, once again, Trump protested that it was.

Today's lies will be either reinforced by repetition or erased and replaced with new lies. And we'll be talking about him - which is the only thing that matters to him.
