I'm enjoying Trump too, even if he's pulling a nakedly-transparent publicity stunt. I wonder if anyone is gonna stick him about his 'logic' about being too rich to be interested in politics as a way of getting more money. The Kochs are rich - why are they doing what they're doing?

I'd still travel some especially if you haven't done that much. I think before I bought either a machine gun or a convertible, I'd rent one first. These are both items that seem more fun in the abstract but after you've shot a bunch of rounds or driven around a while with the top down, you might end up wondering what you were thinking. But hey, unwise purchases are part of the fun - I say go n

What's the taxes on this? I'd spend it on experiences - travel, food, women. You're single, take some time off, rent a villa in Tuscany (or an apartment in the 5th arrondissement), check out the local talent.
