Thanks Kent,  I had fun creating the character, and loved the challenge of capturing the essence of Donald Trump to make it work for the script...  Perhaps we will see more illustrative characters in the future. Glad you and others enjoyed it.  Rich

I've heard that casinos pump oxygen into the air to keep people awake. I'm sure Dr. Ronald Stump knows something about that..

Yes, the increased O2 levels enhances combustion, so as to "burn-up" more of your money, as long as you are having fun and limit your combustible cash, I suppose the laws of thermo may not matter......  ;-)
