Other than rioting, threats Donald Trump might make if denied the GOP nomination 1. Unleash his toupee on the American people 2. Fire _everyone._ 3. Say “No problem, I’m OK with being King”. 4.

Will not stop until every national landmark is covered in brass and glass. 7. Buy all networks and insult Megyn Kelly on every one of them 8.

Continue to be misogynistic, race-bating, fear mongering a-hole, but as a private citizen. ---

Oh, well.} [Puce](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-stKvyptFNPA/TiQcRtc-VKI/AAAAAAAAFJw/1S8rPUvkO6Q/s200/puce.jpg) is a [kind](http://www.suprmchaos.com/puce7_mam.jpg) of [pinkish](http://luchiec.weebly.com/uploads/1/1/4/8/11489309/7617265_orig.jpg?96) [purple](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/73/74/b4/7374b447c31a0141c1fe55deeaf263a7.jpg).
