This is exactly the right behavior for a P.T. Barnum/Evel Knievel type showman, but for a potential world leader?
I still don’t understand why people vote for this idiot. Other than, of course, “… but…but…Hillary!” which to me, is no excuse.
Has anybody ever done a study to see what percentage of Trump supporters also follow professional wrestling? He and Vince McMahon act pretty much the same a lot of the time.
He probably does not know/remember what his says in his statement that people are supposed to ‘watch’.
Deplorable people like deplorable opinions. Trump knows this.
Well, he is a PT Barnum/Evel Kneivel type showman, so what do you expect?
Its a really great hotel! Really great! Boy, what a great hotel…
OK, now, the vets. Done with the vets, time for the Latino. “Deplorables are deployables”. Ooh. Snap. And now! Another vet! What’s this speech about, again?
The most generous read would be that he’s talking not about cause, but effect.
Like, he’s not saying he’s putting it off because he wants to keep the suspense going; he’s putting it off for some other reason – getting the language just right, say – and so he can’t yet make a statement, but he will soon, and, well, he realizes that’s going to keep the suspense going for a while longer, but that can’t be helped.
How much preparation does the word “yes” require?
Is everybody on that stage going to take a turn speaking? Some of those guys are kinda old, been standing there for a loooong time. And now! At long last! More veterans! This speech is about veterans and how much they love Trump?
Did somebody in Iran flip the bird, and he’s declaring war? And he is deploying the 105th Geriatric?
“I’m gonna make a BIG announcement . . . but first a few words from our sponsors!”
Yet again Trump plays the media.
CMC fnord!
Well, he finally laid to rest that terrible Hillary lie! Bold! Brave! And only one lie!
And that’s it? Da fuq? Elvis has fled the building…
I guess with this doubling-down on his lie, Politifact will have to upgrade it from “Four Pinocchios” to “Pants On Fire” (though, to be sure, adding another PoF rating to Trump’s resume would be like adding another nickel to his assets).
At one time, if you followed professional wrestling you also followed Trump. Speaking of Vince McMahon, here is a clip of the two of them together back in the day.
Well, Trump has been on Wrestlemania several times, including once to shave Vince McMahon’s head, and he is in the WWE Hall of Fame.
Presidential material, for sure. P.J. O’Rourke says it best, “Hillary Clinton may be wrong about everything, but at least she is wrong within normal parameters.”

Someone posted on Twitter their metaphor for this election: “the iPhone 7 has no headphone jack, but the Galaxy 7 literally explodes.” Very apt.
