BENTON: You can’t say any of that down there.

TRUMP: This place has Trump written all over it! Why haven’t I built a monogrammed tower to myself here? It would be the greatest in history — I could put it over there, T-R-U-M-P, in front of the view of that snow-covered mountain. Plus, if I sold it — no state capital gains. Winner!
