“We’re going to fix the crime problem. We have a top cop working on it.”
“Who?”
“Top. Cop.”
Did you happen to see Australian comic Jim Jeffries, and his epic takedown of Trump? All kinds of NSFW goodness.
Dipping again into the bag of Rovian tricks, Trump accuses Clinton of being a bigot. This should go as well as his attacks on her health, which only lead to questions regarding his health and that stupid doctor’s note.
Also it is hoped that his attack on The Clinton Foundation will lead to people looking closely at his charity work-- or lack thereof.
Meanwhile Trump held a rally in Jackson, Mississippi, clearly a swing state :), which is 80% Black, and spoke to a crowd that was overwhelmingly White.
With Nigel Farage, no less. The guy behind Brexit. The crowd was reportedly “somewhat baffled by his presence.” Gee, no kidding?
In non-namecalling Coulter news, Coulter is reportedly much pissed about Trump’s immigration flip-flops and spent a good part of last night mocking Trump on Twitter and threatening to cancel her book tour promoting him.
What do you mean? Trump has the best charity work. The best. Nobody does more charity work. People say to him all the time, “Mr. Trump you do more charity work than anyone else in the entire world.”
That’s a rather biased article. (Clue: video of Clinton but not one of either Trump or Farage.) Perhaps you should actually listen to Farage’s speech? He can be a very good speaker. And the crowd didn’t seem at all bemused to me.
That so many could vote for Trump with all his manifest faults speaks volumes about Clinton. And Farage actually nails it in that speech: he urges people to vote against the establishment. Trump is just the point man.
“That so many could vote for Trump with all his manifest faults speaks volumes about Clinton.”
No. It speaks volumes about the voters.
Did he also promise that the money saved by having Mexico pay for the wall would go into Medicare?
Yeah, Farage did a good job actually. I’m sure a lot of people had no clue who he was but that seemed like a pretty positive reception from the crowd.
I imagine it’s a purely cynical–not principled–move on her part. She sees that he’s going to lose and this is a convenient excuse for her to jump off the Trump train. And, of course, it gets her a little attention, which is what she lives for.
Personally, I doubt she ever thought he would win. But she’s tied herself to his campaign (the book she’s promoting is titled “In Trump We Trust” for God’s sake) and this is an area she likes to be hard line on. In fact in the book she apparently writes "there’s nothing Trump can do that won’t be forgiven. Except change his immigration policies.” So while it may be all cynical, she’s already staked out this ground.
He could call his next book The Deal of the Art.
I believe she is sincerely pissed - I mean, THIS IS THE BOOK.
On the day it’s released she’s repudiating the damned thing!
I think, at least in Coulter’s mind, that this is a betrayal of everything she wanted Trump to be and her disappointment is sincere.
I think she’s doing a pro-wrestling thing to set up a big showdown (that may be purely in her own mind) and at which she will eventually decide that he’s actually right, no matter what position he ends up alleging to have.
Trump is not yet on the Minnesota ballot and it’s unclear that they can resolve the mess before the deadline.
(For what it’s worth, I assume they will just in a “Well, of COURSE he’ll be on the ballot” sort of way…)
Schadenfreude.
With Anne’s books, all publicity is good publicity. Threatening to take it off the shelves gives that debut of her book much more coverage than it would otherwise get. Also the possibility that the book may be retracted, means that you need to buy your copy today before they disappear, just like ammunition and assault rifles did under gun grabbing Obama. Lastly repudiating the person she just lauded, shows that she is an independent thinker rather than one that just spouts the party line (even though she isn’t.)
All in all this is probably just about the best thing that could have happened to her.
