I tried it their way—brought in “ALL THE BEST PEOPLE.” Like prize Dogs, they had the right papers. “Oh,” they’d said, “You’ll need the Right People to get things done.” Bullshit. I didn’t get here on advice. I KNOW HOW TO GET THINGS DONE. They can’t understand GENIUS. Those fucking idiots tied me in knots. They have no vision. “You can’t do that, it’s unconstitutional, it’s illegal!” They watered down all my PROMISES, like pablum. Made me a laughing stock. Nobody makes it to the top going by the book. That’s stoopid, small-minded thinking. The point of all those Laws Is to keep the smart ones down. You gotta get yourself a good lawyer, hell, a fucking legal team of pitbulls, do whatever you want and let your lawyers tie them in knots. Bastards, a bunch of lazy LOW-IQ MORONS with no loyalty. They were barely out the door, selling their books of lies to make themselves look good, to make me look like the sucker. After I’d brought them in, gave them access to the INNER CIRCLE–rolling their eyes, laughing and plotting behind my back. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR THAT. LOCK’EM UP! You cannot trust anyone. You certainly cannot trust the ones who think they’re smarter than you. They’re there to stop you. Look at history, at what the greats did—follow that lead. Real men who didn’t let a bunch of sniveling lawyers and bean-counters call the shots.

This time will be different. They can shove their fucking elitist crap. I’ll pick the people who’ll do what I want. Loyal. People with things to hide, people who’re hungry and a little mean. PEOPLE I CAN CONTROL. People who are afraid of me and who EVERYONE ELSE WILL FEAR. People who understand, PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT. Just do it, let the lawyers sort it out. Set that tone from the start. I’ll show those idiots that there’s an ugly cost to getting in my way. Put them in their place. THEY WILL PAY. The old rules are for losers. I WILL UNDO ALL THAT DO-GOODER CRAP FROM BEFORE!  I will erase them. All I need to do is to whisper to the mob. Throw them a little raw meat now and then. YOU GOT TO BE SMART ABOUT IT. Take what you want. I watch them all duck when I look in their direction. That’s where I want them. It’s just smart business. This time will be different. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY.
