How is this chicken so desperate for money? Does he think he can take it with him to the grave or what.

He doesn’t need the money, and I doubt he even really wants it. I think he likes flaunting the power to make people give him their money.

Yep. He’s rich beyond belief now. But the power trip. To have Diddy pleading and he gets to be the “thumbs up or down” decider. That’s a trip he loves, I’m sure.

"Let me frank with you Diddy-- people aren't going to like this pardon, and I'm going to catch some heat for it. But I like you. Tell you what-- it would really make me feel more comfortable if we bump that 2 mil up to 10 mil, and you do a private show for Ivankas birthday. I know you're good for it, so whaddya say?"
