Clinton, South Carolina, Tuesday, July 31, 2018, 1:56 p.m.

I’m going to pay for my own campaign.

I’m going to build a wall. Mexico will pay for it.

There was no meeting.

Okay, as it turns out, there was a meeting, but I knew nothing about it.

The meeting had nothing to do with the election. It was about children in Russia. I hate to see children separated from their parents.

The meeting had something to do with the election, but it was useless. That’s why I didn’t know anything about it.

I love WikiLeaks! I love WikiLeaks! I love WikiLeaks! WikiLeaks! I love WikiLeaks!

There was no collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion! No collusion!

It’s a witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt! A witchhunt!

Thirty-five witches have been indicted. It’s still a witchhunt!

It wasn’t the Russians. Putin says it wasn’t. He should know. He’s a Russian.

It could have been anybody.

Okay, it was the Russians, but there could have been many others.

I hate WikiLeaks.

There was no collusion! But, you know, collusion is not technically a crime. I mean, if there was collusion. Which there wasn’t.

If the Democrats don’t pay for my wall, I’ll shut down the government.

Crime is really not a crime.

I’m going to campaign six or seven days a week this fall. On the other, I’ll be at a golf course.

Another way I cobble out a living is with my books, a wide variety of which are available for sale here.

A Kindle download of my novel Cowboys Come Home is FREE all week, or at least until 3 a.m. EDT on Saturday. It’s an historical novel about a pair of Marines home from the Pacific at the end of World War II.

The new novel, my eighth, is called Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

Lightning in a Bottle is now available in an audio version, narrated by Jay Harper.
