“A lot of people didn’t show up, because the African-American community liked me.”
What does this mean?
I find that when I’m having to exaggerate to the point of making things up, that’s a good sign I have no real point to make. YMMV.
Allow me to translate:
“Racists would have showed up for me in greater numbers had I not displayed so many ‘Blacks for Trump’ signs in my all white rallies.”
One responds to rhetoric with rhetoric, and to argument with argument.
Even when engaged with people speaking civilly and moderately, Der Trihs has, AFAICT, never posted anything related to politics that wasn’t spittle-flecked contempt for anyone who thinks differently than him. I see no reason to throw pearls before swine.
Making things up? Do you mean that Clinton really did say “R U ok hun” like some vapid teenager? Cite?
Okay, that makes trumpsense.
Which is all that really matters.
I agree that the first paragraph is a concern, and a big one.
I don’t agree with the latter: Trump will never, ever apologize, but he does drop things when he becomes aware that they are non-starters. Think for example of his statement during the primaries that women who get abortions should face legal sanctions; he said that off the cuff, in an attempt to make himself the most pro-life guy in the room. When he found out afterwards that that was in fact a position too extreme even for GOP primary voters, he dropped it like a hot rock, and I’ll guarantee he never brings it up again.
In fact, I think one of the purposes of “say crazy shit” is simply to see what happens. Sometimes, the “crazy” is in fact what a lot of people think, but have been intimidated into not saying, and that is the foundation of his support. Sometimes, it really is crazy, and nobody thinks that, so he drops it. Basically, he test-markets ideas, and only sticks with the ones that really sell.
You can interpret that as “the man has no core convictions” or as “he’s a committed populist who desires to speak for the silent majority” or as “he’ll say anything to get elected,” and they’re probably all true.
Trump didn’t either. Which you already knew.
The important things to remember now are:
- Anything bad that happens in the next 4 years was Obama’s fault
- Deficits don’t matter anymore
- Wall? What wall?
- It’s good that Trump is surrounding himself with Washington insiders and Goldman-Sachs executives
- Both sides do it.
But Trump does tweet like a vapid teenager. Which was the point. Which you know.
Trump:“Wrong! You’re the vapid teenager!” 
You missed a: “… YOU ARE!!”
Don’t you mean: “Wrong! You’re the vapid teenager! Sad!”
I do know that your president elect happily tweets away like a silly little girl, just like anybody with an ounce of statemanship wouldn’t.
Aha! This is exactly what he wants you all to think!
You’ve all fallen for his cunning plan!
If Twitter doesn’t jump the shark in the next 4 years, this is bound to be one mammoth thread full of the stupidest shit ever uttered by a President of the United States. I guess, as Americans, we’ve got that going for us.
He wouldn’t know a cunning plan if he thought that was something you were supposed to grab life by.
Can’t wait for the State of the Union Tweet.
He’ll probably deliver the speech via YouTube.
