I also wonder how many "trophies" Trump has strategically displayed throughout his properties. Like I don't think it's out of the question that somewhere in one of his hotels or something he's got a plaque carefully but conspicuously hung in some high traffic are, etched with the following: "North Dakota High School Soccer Player of the Year: Donald Trump."
Nice deep dive on one of Trump's most ludicrous personality "quirks." I think I think about that George Costanza bit almost every time he spouts one of his whoppers.
"[The figure's actual name] Bibendum was depicted visually as a lord of industry, a master of all he surveyed, and a patriotic exponent ...” - he may as well have written it himself (although ignore the French part that follows this quote if you track back to the Wikipedia source).
Striking visual similarity -
"The name of the plump tyre-man has entered the language to describe someone obese or wearing comically bulky clothing (e.g. 'How can I wrap up warmly without looking like the Michelin Man?')"
and blindingly white
"From 1912 onwards, tyres became black in colour because carbon was added as a preservative and a strengthener to the basic rubber material. Before then, they were a gray-white or light and translucent-beige colour. Bibendum's appearance also changed, becoming black [citation needed]. Though Michelin briefly featured him that way in several print ads, it quickly changed back his appearance, citing printing and aesthetic issues for the change, and not racial concerns as commonly believed."

Maybe say, on a golf course? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_River_of_Blood_(monument)
That would be awesome!
I don’t think you’re the one that’s off his rocker.
Hold on here, let's not get ahead of ourselves.....

Are we 100% sure he's not saying Michelin Man?

I'm just sayin' ...
Ha! That's hilarious.
Remember, there are multiple clear examples of his lack of verbal dexterity ...
