Imaging the Commandments if they included omissions.
Really prescient that he listed Donald Trump. This book was written in 2001.

Ruthiella Before Donald Trump became a political figure and a reality television personality in the early part of this century, he was mostly known for his epic divorce from Ivana Trump for his then mistress Marla Maples in the 1980s. I suspect that is where Rushdie is pulling from in his listing him here, especially alongside Hefner. (edited) 1y
dabbe When I stayed at The Plaza in 1988 with my family (long story how we were ever able to stay there), he had just bought it. All of the workers we encountered there HATED him. He's been a grifter his whole life, but now he'll destroy America if he can't win because Drumpf is not a LOSER. #rantover #thanksforreading 1y
