There are quite a few gems in Donald Trump's long and thorough interview with The Hollywood Reporter — such as when he whipped out "a Post-it that says 'Tom Brady's New Cell #.'" Or, when asked about the last thing he apologized for, he replied:

It was too many years ago to remember. I have one of the great memories of all time, but it was too long ago. [The Hollywood Reporter]

Hillary has problems far greater than the nomination. If you look at what's going on with the emails, it's a fraud if you think about it. This looks like Watergate on steroids, frankly. Watergate was about the cover-up more than the act. This isn't something we're going to solve tomorrow. This could go on for years. You can't have a nominee who is under investigation. What are they going to do, run and then two nights before the presidential race she gets indicted? General Petraeus, for doing 5 percent of what she did, his life has been destroyed. And it goes up to 20 years in prison. It's from one to 20 years for what she did! [The Hollywood Reporter]

Well, you know what they say: If Trump gives an interview and there's no hyperbole, was it a Trump interview at all?
