But let me perfectly clear, because I know you'll hear the same old claims that rolling back these tax breaks means a massive tax increase on the American people: if your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime. I repeat: not one single dime.

The papers, you know, they're always gonna just make stuff up. They think it's in the public interest.

My first feeling about the paper and the attitude is that it is absurd.

On the average, five times as many people read the headline as read the body copy. When you have written your headline, you have spent eighty cents out of your dollar.

I'm drowning in papers.

The press called me a billionaire, and my wife came up and said I must be squirreling money away.

It's really surprising that what you put on paper, people will believe.

Exaggeration is my only reality.

I am probably exaggerating a little, but I owe my equilibrium to ink and paper.

Once again, the 'New York Times' has chosen to purposefully ignore facts and professional journalism to fit their political agenda, choosing to attack my character and reputation rather than present an honest report. The suggestion that I accepted cash payments is unfounded, silly, and nonsensical.
