Imagining Trump Meeting President Lee Han of Sri Lanka

9:30 p.m.

Trump's new book, Art of the Vote.

9:30 AM. FIRST MEET WITH PRESIDENT LEE HAN (SRI LANKA).

When I met the guy. He asked me to autograph a mugshot poster of me. Which I obliged. And a copy of his dad's copy of my books: How to Think Big. Which he treasures. He told me, he worships me, and that he based his whole diary on Art of the Deal. Which I sold more copies of, only beaten by The Bible. The word of G-d, by his son Jesus Christ. That's when I asked him:

"Gee, Lee Han: why are you constantly nagging me to pick Elisabeth Hasselbeck as my VP? The guy, looked me dead in the eye and uttered the one-liner sentence: "Because █████████." like it's the first commandment. He said it like it's the G-d's honest truth. And I figured the guy then and there. Just the way he said it shook me to my core. How this man will make a decision. I make them on gut instincts. He was thinking "it doesn't matter if ███████████████; ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████. The guy's whole ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████. "

I asked him, "oh yeah, and why'd you give your $1 dollar note to Ivanka? You always wanted to be George Washington. Now's your chance. And you give it to my daughter? Why?" Dude told me, "Steve Schwarzman was crying on the floor over losing leveraged bought out Hilton with his unwise lending and bla bla and we wanted to █████you with: 'Only if like Elisabeth says so. I think you have to ask your VP. Just don't tell her the truth about why you picked her. ' "

When I'm stuck a day

That's gray

And lonely

I just stick out my chin

And grin

So ya gotta hang on

'Til tomorrow

Come what may

You're always a day away
