I was throwing clubs because I'm one of those really super competitive guys. I'm like, never again. But I went and worked. I auctioned off myself to be a caddy at a golf tournament that he also was at. But he starts tweeting that I saw Mark Cuban and he swings like your girl and this and that. His swing is like your girl. Like, nobody saw me swing because I don't golf.
And so I started back with him. And so we went back and forth on Twitter for years, for years. And then he comes down the escalator in 2015. And I'm like, all right, this guy's got no chance to win. But I think it's great because I don't like traditional politicians. I'm not, you know, there's nothing about me that thinks that the way we do politics or the way the government is run is a good thing.

Not at all. I mean, I... My heart is libertarian, but I realize you can't... Libertarians are not problem solvers. They're ideologues. You know, like you look at Rand Paul, everything's only one way. He doesn't try to solve problems. So anyways, I digress. So he comes down there. I'm like, that's cool, right? He doesn't have a chance to win. But I'm like, he's the best thing ever. You know how...

I forget where I was, but I was like, he's the best thing that ever happened to politics. He's not a politician. He's not going to be a Stepford candidate. I may not agree with his positions, but just the fact that he's not a politician is a good thing. And so from there, he called me and we talked a lot.

probably 10 to 15 times on the phone he would call me you know and he tweeted one time mark cuban was trying to come i never had a number there was no way for me to call him right he would you know and you know the way he emails he refuses to send an email because he doesn't want any proof of anything he's done right and so you know he would write it up like you had one of those pictures so bring up the one on the cnn where he says what happened so right there

CNN, nasty. What happened? See what he does there. His email, he writes on a piece of paper and then someone scans it and sends it as an image via email.

This is one of many emails that we went back and forth on.

No, his assistant emailed it back. Right. So he writes on the piece, system prints it out. He reads it. He writes on it. She scans it. She scans it, sends the image to me. Now the big question there, you can't just let that slide. Why do you think he does that?

No, absolutely not. Nope. I'm with Mark. He don't want paper trails or anything.
No, absolutely not. Nope. I'm with Mark. He don't want paper trails or anything.
No, no, you can't search for it, and it's not his. You know, yes, to your point, I'm just telling you, he won't send emails at all.
No, no, you can't search for it, and it's not his. You know, yes, to your point, I'm just telling you, he won't send emails at all.
So he has said it out loud, David. He has literally said it out loud that he doesn't want a paper trail. But anyway, so let's go back. So now we're talking back and forth, and we're having legit conversations. I remember asking him, you know, you realize as president, you're going to have to make decisions where people can die. And he really wouldn't respond. Yeah, I get it. I get it.
