There is a “make your own pizza” restaurant chain in California called Pieology. As you go through the line, you pick your ingredients. The wall is filled with notable quotes. Long before Trump ran for president, there was his quote that says:

As long as you’re going to be thinking anyway, think big.

— Donald Trump

This quote was attributed to Trump in Forbes Magazine as early as 2013, as far as I can tell. I actually thought it was an old Napoleon Hill quote, but I cannot find any reference to that now. I read The Art of the Deal many years ago, and I must have misattributed it then. The quote is on the wall of Pieology along with Ronald Reagan, Napoleon Hill, Thomas Jefferson and dozens of other luminaries.

There are a lot of Trump quotes circulating and now magnified by his own tweets. Here is one from May 2, 2015 that is ominous:

Anyone who thinks my story is anywhere near over is sadly mistaken.

— Donald Trump

You have to give Trump credit. He thinks big, he thinks against all odds, and he has bombastic confidence. And then he pulls it off and becomes president of the United States.

Now let’s see how he governs.
