I was curious what the potential next President of the United States had to say when he did an interview for the SMUT magazine Playboy.
Skimming over the article, it pretty much dealt with Donald Trump's huge ego. A couple of things did catch my eye though, the first is the firmness that he feels a leader should use. It's interesting how he uses communist butchers as role models.
What were your other impressions of the Soviet Union?
Donald Trump: I was very unimpressed. Their system is a disaster. What you will see there soon is a revolution; the signs are all there with the demonstrations and picketing. Russia is out of control and the leadership knows it. That's my problem with Gorbachev. Not a firm enough hand."
You mean firm hand as in China?
Donald Trump: When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak ... as being spit on by the rest of the world--
Scenes like this evidently impress Donald Trump:
But wait, it get's better.
How large a role does pure ego play in your deal making and enjoyment of publicity?
Donald Trump: Every successful person has a very large ego.
Every successful person? Mother Teresa? Jesus Christ?
Donald Trump: Far greater egos than you will ever understand.

I don't know how other Christians feel, but I never considered my Lord and Savior to be an egomaniac.
