@btmayo I take huge issue with the list, too. Specifically, McDonald's fries should have been ranked Nos. 1–50.

Dunno, but we came to it in 1803. twitter.com/realDonaldTrum…

@BaxterCavendish Just saw a home makeover for Will (good friend). Rugs totally disproportioned. Should've called me. No wonder it's failing!
