MODERATORS
Forbes has never attempted to verify this list anyway. It's all self-reporting, and it's well established that Trump lied to get on the list.
The guy is such an embarrassment that he even pretended to be his own assistant, calling people to tell him how great he was.
And they recognized his voice. They knew it was this loser pretending to be his own assistant.
Think how sad that is, for a guy who legitimately could have just hired a PR person to do this.

John Barron?
I honestly think every single media outlet should bring that up in any given article on him: "Donnie, AKA 'John Barron', .... yadda yadda..."
Yeah, but it was a simple explanation, his kid with Melania is named Baron, so obviously he brought his kid into the family business before he was even conceived.
To be fair I pretend to be my own secretary when answering cold callers.. I urge others to do the same. You can get them running round in loops..
Why do I have a memory of him doing this early on in his presidency? Like, I hazily remember a call to a reporter threatening war with North Korea and then the Pentagon saying 'We don't know who called, they don't represent us, it's all bullshit.' Did I dream that up or did it get lost in all the stuff he got into over 4 years?
New Mandela Effect? I remember it too.
