Howard is trolling Trump. Good for him. I’d feel differently if it was a candidate who hadn’t been using the same tactics as his stock and trade for years.
This is the job of allies and distant surrogates, not for the candidate herself. Troll away, surrogates, troll away.
Well, people are talking about it. And the comedians sure picked up on it:
Perhaps this is Trump’s dealer: Joseph Weichselbaum- A man who Trump said (at his sentencing hearing for cocaine distribution) was “conscientious, forthright, and diligent” and "a credit to the community.”
A man who was convicted of cocaine distribution, income tax charges, grand theft auto and the embezzlement of more than $130,000 from a Brooklyn manufacturing firm.
But a good buddy of Trump’s.
A wise guy, eh? Why I oughta… Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk!!
In the land of Twitter, Donald Trump posted this at 8:17am:
“The #1 trend on Twitter right now is #TrumpWon - thank you!”
4 hours later, doing an analysis on the hashtag, it was found that the hashtag originated and started trending from St. Petersburg, Russia:
I agree, it’s clear trolling by Dean and I’m okay with it, considering how it’s Trump’s strategy and how everyone has made such a big deal about Clinton’s “health issues.” Also since instead of admitting like a regular human being that he had a cold or allergy problems, Trump said that it was a bad mic.
How long did it take him to find that out? What, he couldn’t say “Hey, this mike bites it, get me another!”?
Dean wasn’t the only one trolling about Trump’s drug use last night. God knows I did my best to plant the seeds of the idea in both FB and Twitter, and it did get riffed on a few times.
My theory is that the sound guy rubbed the mike on his balls before setting it up, and Trump could not believe the smell that was coming off of it.
For what it’s worth, the front page at foxnews.com appears to be in full fledged panic mode.
OK, made me look. Not seeing the panic, where is it?
Well, there is a pretty full-fledged effort in practically every front-page story to deny reality (Trump lost), but it is hard to tell how different that is from their usual.
Screw whoever won or lost-their humongous headline reads “DEBATE NIGHT DRAWS BIG MONEY
Campaign has raised more than $13 million in past 24 hours, Trump says”

Every headline has “Trump” in it. Hillary is an afterthought.
OK, it looks like Trump opposed the Iraq invasion in one interview, and supported it in another. I guess that’s settled, then.
Shit, give that one to him, big deal. So, we shouldn’t have invaded, but once we did we should have taken their oil? And when the new government said they didn’t want us to stay, we should have said “Fuck you, that’s our oil, you get your sand off of it! And soon as its all gone, we will be too!”
That might have had one upside, maybe, if their hatred of us brought the Sunni and Shia together. Gotta admit, the man has got vision! Hallucination. Something.
For Holt’s confident accusation, and all the “Trump lies constantly” stuff I read on here, I was actually quite shocked that there is actually a video of Trump opposing the Iraq war like he said there was.
I think this is just you seeing what you want to see. I don’t see anything there I’d call “panic mode”. Maybe you’re reading “NEWT GINGRICH: Trump won the debate. Don’t believe the “Intellectual Yet Idiot” class” as panic?
There’s also one of him supporting the Iraq war like he says he didn’t. You don’t get to call both heads and tails on a coin toss and then claim victory when the results come in.
I’m pretty sure Trump both supports and opposes every position of every issue.
