30. "These are people that have been highly successful in their lives."

Right. Like Joseph "Joey No Socks" Cinque. I'm sure he was highly successful in his life.

Donald Trump spends New Year's Eve with convicted felon, Dubai billionaire: "The taxes are coming...

In 1989, “Joey No Socks” was convicted of felony possession of stolen artwork worth upwards of $100,000. Now, Cinque, through his Academy, gives out Star Diamond awards to upscale hotels — including several of Trump’s. The Associated Press found that roughly half of the Academy’s trustees are Trump-affiliated, but Trump in May denied knowing Cinque: “If a guy’s going to give you an award, you take it. You don’t tend to look up his whole life story.”

Got it. We don't need to look up the whole life story. Facts would only get in the way.
