Donald Trump has spent the days since the Republican Party’s midterm wipeout insisting none of it was really about him. So when one of his loudest critics sat him down for a rare one-on-one, the conversation kept drifting back to Trump’s favorite subject: his own wins. Stephen A. Smith came ready with tough questions about Republican losses, the war with Iran, and Black voters. But it was one hypothetical question, about a showdown with a very familiar face, that has everyone talking. Trump didn’t need long to think it over. And the receipts Trump pulled out to back himself up? They only tell half the story. Smith recorded the “Straight Shooter” sit-down in the White House’s Roosevelt Room and posted it to his YouTube channel on Nov. 12. He had been publicly demanding the interview since last year, and Trump didn’t make it easy on him. Nor did he hold back during a White House dinner with Smith and comedian Bill Maher. Things got testy well before the big question.

The luxury hotel charges too much and will never miss one robe. Do you pack it?

After an expensive hotel stay, you notice a plush robe without a price tag or warning. The room cost more than expected, several promised amenities were unavailable, and you convince yourself the robe is probably included.

When does feeling overcharged become permission to compensate yourself?
