“Say what you will about Mr. Trump, he certainly would bring some change to the White House. Let’s see what we’ve got up there.” Then, on the screen behind him, an image appeared of the White House with a Trump sign branded upon it, like Trump Tower. It was in that moment, in that room, that Donald Trump made the decision, not only that he would run for president in 2016, but also that he would take his revenge on Obama’s humiliating him in front of all those influential people. I was there to witness it.
