“We learned that Trump had not given a million dollars away. When Corey Lewandowski told me that, it was a lie.”

“There are some things about Trump's foundation and charity that I really want to know. I worry there may not be enough time to figure it all out.”

“I personally can barely remember what I was like before I came to college, what made me happy or worried or confident. I don't remember what I expected in my future, except that 'President of the United States' was about halfway up the ladder.”

“It wasn't until the second half of my first year that I realized you have to try to make friends and meet people at Harvard; the chances don't come to you.”

“I read the collected works of former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and made a list of everything the old Baptist preacher had ever condemned as immoral or untoward. The subjects of his condemnation ranged from college-age women going braless to dogs wearing clothes to Beyonce.”

“Miami is the place where all great Medicare fraud schemes come from. It has a great concentration of professional criminals and old people.”

“I promise not to take my thousands of dollars in student loan debt and move to Mexico. At least not right away.”

“So many rich people, when they get into philanthropy, they have one thing they like, or several things they focus on. They pick a disease or a college or some kind of non-profit. They produce good results through that cause, but also they get recognized; there's some sort of monument to what they did.”

“If you're the president of a charity, you can't take the money out of the charity and use it to buy things for yourself. And you can't take the money out of the charity and use it to buy things for your business.”

“For me, the thing that is different about Trump is that you don't realize it, and I didn't realize it, but there is a rhythm that the political press - including myself - expects people to show in terms of embarrassing statements or shameful acts. And that is spinning it away and finally being forced to apologize, and then apologize again.”

“I am not going to argue about whether I am a nasty guy.”

“Nonprofits such as the Trump Foundation are prohibited from giving political gifts.”

“Things live and die, and then someone processes them into edible portions. This is a complete telling of the story, 'Food.' The basic plot hasn't changed for centuries. I shouldn't need to know any more details, any more history, in order to decide if my food tastes good or not.”

“Even when he was just a reality-TV star, Trump was the kind of star who got a cover story in 'Time.' But that wasn't true. The 'Time' cover is a fake. There was no 1 March 2009 issue of 'Time' magazine. And there was no issue at all in 2009 that had Trump on the cover.”

“What's a good metaphor for a Harvard student? A talking, gold-plated pile of manure, wearing a fleece.”

“The national raisin reserve is real.”

“The Palm Beach Police Foundation is a client of Trump's. They pay to rent out Mar-a-Lago every year.”

“I started at 'The Post' as an intern in 2000 right after I got out of college.”

“When bills come in, Medicare get so many bills every day, it pays most of them and then goes back later to figure out if they were fraudulent, if it ever goes back at all.”

“In 1996, Trump had crashed a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a charity opening a nursery school for children with AIDS. Trump, who had never donated to the charity, stole a seat onstage that had been saved for a big contributor.”
