## That day

_From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._

**Celebrity Businessman Holds Court on Twitter: Maher Feud Simmers Beneath a Blanket of Motivational Platitudes**

Trump spent a busy but psychologically unremarkable day toggling between three roles: motivational speaker, TV show promoter, and online brawler. The bulk of his activity was cheerful -- dozens of brief thank-you replies to fans, generic business advice, and plugs for Celebrity Apprentice and an upcoming Charlotte speech. But the day's edges had teeth: he attacked Bill Maher three separate times as a "dummy" and "not an intellectual," defended his net worth with an inflated $8 billion claim, and snapped at a critic questioning his bankruptcy history. The mood was overwhelmingly self-assured, with only brief flashes of irritation that never built into anything sustained.
