President Trump, the Dominican Republic that you love so much is on its way to becoming a leftist country, an enemy of US interests. If you have to intervene and expel those who have lied to you, there are 10 million Dominicans who will support you. Make DR great again 🇩🇴🇺🇸 @POTUS
As a reminder, I am very much in favor of expedited legal immigration for anyone who is talented, hardworking and honest.
America should be like a pro sports team that wants to win the championship – draft the best players to enable the whole team to win!
The greatest danger you face is your general assumption that you really understand people and that you can quickly judge them. Instead, you must begin with the assumption that you are ignorant and that you have natural biases that will make you judge people incorrectly. Each person you meet is like an undiscovered country, with a very particular psychological chemistry that you will carefully explore.

After careful thought and consideration I will be humbly removing myself from the Heisman trophy ceremony until @ReggieBush gets his trophy back. Doesn’t sit right with my morals and values that he can’t be on that stage with us every year. Reggie IS the Heisman trophy.
Do the RIGHT thing @NCAA the ball is in your court.
Much love

23 pieces of career advice I wish I’d known earlier.
Whether you’re just starting out, looking to make a big change, or aiming to reach new heights in your current role, I hope you’ll find something here that helps you navigate your own unique path:
I’m 33.
When I was young, I wasted years drinking, smoking, and being a degenerate.
Then I discovered Naval Ravikant and he changed my life forever.
Here are 20 teachings from the wisest person of this century (that will change your life too):
There were once two boys who grew up in the ‘mean streets’ of New York, born one year and a few blocks apart. They weren’t from the poorest families but they were far from rich.
One of the boys was fully Italian, the other had an Italian father, and an Irish mother. Growing up, they saw ‘wiseguys’ and made men and gangsters in the street. They saw the gangs, even had friends who joined them... their early childhood was Goodfellas.
One of the friends was the son of an actress-turned-seamstress. The other was the son of a painter who had left his wife because he was gay — his mother had been an artist.
Not surprisingly, both kids inherited the ‘artistic gene’ from their parents and, from their fathers’ humble immigrant origins, a strong drive to make it in the world.
The two boys grew into men and went their separate ways. They met again in their twenties. The half-Irish one, the tallest and most handsome of the two, had gone to acting school and was now an actor known as Robert De Niro.
His friend, a creative fellow but too short for leading man status, was Martin Scorsese. Scorsese wanted to recreate the world they had grown up in and make it come to life for a young audience largely unfamiliar with it. Mean Streets. Taxi Driver. Raging Bull. The King of Comedy. Goodfellas.
Scorsese directed movies. De Niro acted in them. As it turned out, Scorsese was a damned fine director, and script writer. De Niro was a damn fine actor. They would come to define cinema in many ways, and put their mark on the genre of mafia films and organised crime drama like no one else before them, and no one else after.
During the filming of the first Godfather movie, the mafia got awfully curious about what went on during filming. The mob actively followed the actors and actresses around and hovered around the sets, much to the chagrin of the actors. Marlon Brando in particular wasn’t too pleased.
At some point, Brando, Pacino, and Robert Duvall were driven off-set in a car when their driver spotted a suspicious-looking cast of characters traveling at the same speed and distance, eyeing them.
Brando said he had had enough of “those mob bastards,” rolled down the car window, pulled down his pants all the way, and mooned them! Duvall later said of the event that his famous co-star pulled his pants down just a little too much.
Not deterred, the mob sent real-life mafia enforcer, wrestler and doorman Lenny Montana to the movie set, to play the part of Luca Brasi.
Montana was a major Brando fan, as were many of the mafia guys themselves who had come to respect the wild star and his reckless ways. So in awe of his famous co-star was Montana, that he bumbled his lines. He could barely perform at all.
Until Brando put Montana at ease, helping him shine and perform his part well. The big mobster turned actor was incredibly grateful, and suddenly the mafia was totally okay with their on-screen portrayal.

How’s that @elonmusk? 🚀
