winner: most gratuitous use of quotation marks

From Donald Trump, via my junk mail today:

Please be my personal guest to hear my real story… and also be trained by “4″ self-made multi-millionare experts.

Yes. He puts quotes around “4″. (He also puts quotes around “0″ later, though relatively speaking that use almost makes sense.) Kudos to Mr. Trump for a new low in the sport of quotation mark abuse.

[If any Flickr users want to put this into the awesome quotation mark abuse pool, feel free; the picture is here.]

    Maybe he means to use it as a string literal?

    Maybe it’s supposed to be itallicized in wikitext?

    At the conference, you will learn to use quotation marks the Trump way.
