But I think the real reason is that DWAC probably couldn’t have done this deal without lying. It’s not just that DWAC lied in its prospectus by saying it hadn’t had discussions with TMTG when it had. If it had told the truth — if it had said “we’re a SPAC that’s raising money to take Trump Media & Technology Group public” — it wouldn’t have been allowed to do its offering in the first place. A SPAC is supposed to be a blank-check company without any particular private company to take public. If you are raising money to take one particular company public, that’s not a SPAC. That’s just a regular initial public offering. You don’t just file for a blank check; you file for an initial public offering, with all of the regular disclosure about the company’s business and finances.

NY, for me, has always been about the people. In my 20s it was also a bit about the texture — the incredible, rich, stone-built texture to it all. I stood in constant, delighted, wonder. Sam mentioned how he was walking near Washington Square Park with a professor after arriving in New York and asked him if he ever got tired of this — this vaulted endless wow. I’m still saying wow, all these years later. Mainly in contrast to Tokyo’s relatively demure landscape of steel and glass, little stone. (Stones and quakes don’t mix well.) But the texture was just a bonus, the people were always primary.

Wiktionary agrees that "me, myself, and I" emphasizes the speaker's aloneness, i.e., only me; myself alone.
