1. I've seen it

Pre-piss party he was in a good mood

4. I think the Russians saw a pathetic little man and a wonderful, terrible opportunity.

The whole thing about Trump and Agalarov is blowing my mind today.

2. Did you just discover this?

That's quite a find!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. Yeah.

I read that he once tweeted an invitation for Putin to come to Miss Universe.

Until I saw it for myself, I didn't know how pathetic and desperate sounding it actually was, though.

3. Wow.. the word 'incredulous' does not even come close to describing this level of crass.

6. "Will he become my new best friend?" ummm...no.

But he'll have his 'best' cameras up your flabby ass. dumb-ass

8. He's like a little school girl!

"Dear Vladimir,

Will you meet me at the Miss Universe Pageant and be my new best friend?

Yes No (circle one)

Yours truly,
Donny

9. Well, let's be honest. While he has lots and lots of sychophants....

....he's probably got very few genuine friends in his life, in good part to his maliciously narcissistic nature.

So he'll take whatever friends he can find.

10. ...or buy.
