1. In the definition of the American Dream, James Truslow Adams said in 1931:
“The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position.”

2. The incredible success of the dead pimp, "The Trump of Pahrump", gives a new definition and dimension (fourth dimension) to the American Dream. I propose adding two more words ("or death") to the last sentence of James Truslow Adams' quote:
"It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position or death.”
In other words, not only the living but the dead can have the American Dream.
