For the record, my neighbors spend the big bucks. We spent tens of dollars. Most of which was leftover from last year because it rained.

Trump brags about his shakedown of major law firms: "We have a lot of law firms that have paid me a lot of money... they paid $100m on average... hopefully I won't need that many legal fees. I may. Who knows? After it ends. After I leave maybe I'll need it, but if I do it won't be very pleasant."
