An 2014 article from Buzzfeed :
A well written, candid look at the guy, leaves you wondering at the complicated mess of ego, insecurity, savvy, and the weird consequences of living in a bubble, surrounded by sycophants. I almost felt sorry for him.
It would be a requirement that he put his business and investments into a blind trust.
But we all know that will never happen. He’s never been a serious candidate and the chances of him actually being elected are zero. Not “close to zero”, actual zero.
Trump reminds me of Huang Qiaoling, the Chinese billionaire who’s built a replica of the White House and has his subordinates address him as Mr President. These guys have no desire (or ability) to actually do the work of being President; they just enjoy the trappings of the office. The main difference is that Trump, unlike Huang, is technically eligible to run for President of the United States so he can role-play at a higher level. (Conversely, you could argue that Huang is a lot richer than Trump and therefore can afford a better set of toys. Huang was able to skip running for President. He just built a White House and moved in.)
Good point. So long as he’s worth at least $2 billion, he could say “billions and billions,” just like the Mickey Dee signs, and actually be correct.
I for one would like to see a reporter ask him how he intended to force Mexico to pay for a wall that we would build along our border.
Could be secretly be a Democrat?
Anyone read this in the National Review?
Holy cow, that was scathing.
Just the title: Witless Ape Rides Escalator – I can’t believe I read that in the National Review, let alone the rest of the article.
Business Insider: There’s something odd about Donald Trump’s Facebook page
To be fair to Trump, I don’t think that’s a wheelchair jab, because he’s saying the same thing about non-quadraplegic George Will.I think when he was saying “they sit there and and haven’t done anything…”, he means, “I’m supersucessful Donald Trump. I’ve written the best book ever, I have a lot of money, I have the biggest tv show on TV, and they haven’t done anything but criticize.”
A Facebook friend just re-posted a quote from Trump’s FB page about how terrible Obamacare is. It was an incoherent, cherry-picking mess of a quote, even less connected to reality than the usual GOP anti-Obamacare rants. Yet my friend forwarded it, and other people clicked the like button. The Hairpiece is going to get votes in the primaries, lots of them, more than enough to justify keeping his campaign going as long as he wants. Which may only be until he has to make financial disclosures - but with the FEC so toothless, that could be a long time.
ETA: That same FB friend of mine also just re-posted a petition to get SC to take down the Confederate flag. People are complicated. 
From the article:
“The problem with messiah complexes is that there’s no way to know whether you are going to rise on the third day unless somebody crucifies you. Trump has announced, and I say we get started on that.”
Love it, love it, love it!
This writer is certainly sharpening the nails.
The picture’s becoming much clearer now. The establishment Republicans want to bust Trump out of the race ASAP, before he does too much damage to the others in the clown car. He’s more likely to do damage to them than to Hilary or any other Democrat.
One more than one occasion, he has either threatened to file a lawsuit, or has actually filed, different media outlets because they under-reported his net worth by calling a millionaire instead of billionaire.
Every time I think of Donald Trump, this Colbert Report clip comes to mind.
Understand something:
Trump. Is. NOT. Running.
He can give speeches all he wants, but he hasn’t filed with the FEC as a candidate for President, and he isn’t going to.
As he always does, he’s going to milk this for a lot of publicity, and then drop out. He has no constituency, and he knows it. He doesn’t want to be President- he doesn’t even want to campaign. He just likes attention, positive OR negative.
Well, the longer he stays “in,” the more damage he does to the Republican side of anything, so here’s hoping he’s “in” for quite a while.
Total promo for his show. So transparent.
And yet too old to continue being a Mrs Trump.
I suggest that you look her up. Then you’ll understand why so many of us are going “EEEWWWWW!” right now.
