Also, Sinatra died in 1998 so no, Trump didn’t tell him “I’m a politician”

To be fair, Trump lies about everything, so maybe he lied to Sinatra.

It is not lost on me that when Biden gets a date wrong, folks want MRIs and cognition tests, but when Trump fabricates whole conversations and people, it's because he's "taking liberties in storytelling." - I'm not a fan of either, but it is not lost on me the disparity.

Trump did threaten to run for POTUS in 1988 (and a few more times well before 2016, but always chickened out way before any primaries) but there is no damned way he called himself a politician back then

Courtesy of a Salon article.

"Weisman called Sinatra to tell him what had happened, and Sinatra told him he had two choices," the News writes, "to tell Trump to go fuck himself or give Trump’s phone number to Sinatra so that he could do it himself."

Dutifully, Weisman returned to Trump and did as told, telling the real-estate mogul, "Sinatra says go fuck yourself!" The negotiations ended there.

As phony as a Three-Dollar Bill. I’m only surprised that FPOTUS did not claim that Sinatra addressed him as “Sir.” The old Golden Nugget commercials captured late Frank Sinatra’s attitude towards hoteliers. T/W: Steve Wynn. youtu.be/v6Tn0NXMikI?...

The owner of the Golden Nugget, Steve Wynn, shows off his Las Vegas casino...only to have Frank Sinatra misidentify him! Towels?! Don't you know who I am? ...

Sir, Frank said, he called me sir, I supported JFK in 1960 but that was before I saw how great you were. You were only 14 then, but if they allowed it, I would have switched my endorsement to you. He then cried. And told me stories about Joey Bishop and the mob in Las Vegas while shaking my hand.

Maybe he is getting Ol' Blue Eyes mixed up with Kid Rock?

“Sinatra came up to me, tears in his eyes, so true, so true. Sir, the hotdog is a sandwich. It is! Everyone says it. Anyway, I’m a politician. The best policies. We hate windmills, don’t we folks? And, don’t even get me started on the showerheads. The worst! Anyway… “ drool
