Looks like he’s #2 now after Harrison Ford, thanks to The Force Awakens.
(Probably doesn’t need to be pointed out, but that’s all about the total grosses of movies in which they’ve appeared, not what they’ve personally been paid.)
ETA:
He’s also more prolific. 68 films averaging $68m, compared to Ford’s 41 films averaging $114.5m and Tom Hanks’ 43/$100.8m.
.
If he becomes POTUS, he will be doing that every year!
And Jurassic Park.
His sphincter is still sore that they stopped carrying his line of menswear. Apparently “it’s just business” is a maxim Mr. Trump only selectively applies.
A black Trump-supporting pastor in Virginia is suing the GOP over loyalty oaths the GOP wants to require Republican primary voters to sign and if you want a sentence which could only come out of America, that’s a pretty good candidate for the most American:
The oath is, pragmatically, aimed at people who support Trump but don’t give a damn about the GOP. The GOP would really rather they either stayed home or supported, I dunno, Jeb, or Rubio at worst. (Cruz is probably as bad as Trump when it comes to winning a general election.) Trump supporters, like dandruff and annoying relatives, are going to hang on for the long haul, and are not going to sit down, shut up, or cease to associate with a party they don’t like as long as they can convince themselves they have a chance to force Trump to be that party’s nominee.
The race thing comes into it… well, I’ll let the plaintiffs explain:
There’s “tarnished brands” and there’s “we don’t want to be seen associating with you in public”. Usually, it’s groups like NAMBLA and the Ku Klux Klan that have to worry about membership rolls getting leaked.
Yes, the lawsuit is weak. No, that isn’t the important part. The important part is that if the GOP fights it, it’s seen as fighting against minority rights. It’s not technically The Poll Tax, but… It’s not technically A Literacy Test, but… And the GOP has more than enough troubles on that front already.
And the whole reason the GOP is fighting for this pledge is that it thinks Trump has a chance in Virginia, which would be worse than embarrassing for the GOP.
So it’s a double-bind: Fight it and look like you’re an even worse bunch of troglodytes, and further alienate anyone who isn’t old, white, and male, or don’t fight it, and risk having the clown run away with the whole damned circus.
Or perhaps someone looked at how Jeremy Corbyn got elected in the UK and the results thereof and decided to try to prevent it?
Apparently, that isn’t quite what happened:
Trump’s no Corbyn, and I agree with the GOP that Trump’s chances would be greatly harmed by a closed primary, but I also think that he’d be helped by the GOP being seen to be frantically bolting the doors and and boarding up the windows in order to keep him out.
He feeds on the perceived weakness of the establishment, the Republican establishment especially, and Trump supporters who think their guy is being unfairly locked out of power are Trump supporters who will be that much more likely to vote for Trump as a third-party and/or write-in candidate, sore loser laws be damned.

They offered a 20 dollar bologna sandwich with an unappetizing description and it’s news no one bought one?
And it’s news more money came in for Bernie Sanders in Vermont?
Yeah, that’s silly.
From the link:
So, yeah, it can get worse (and probably will).
Trump says the NFL is getting soft.
A few minutes as a tackling dummy should set him right.
Trump identifies with people who have had multiple concussions.
And appeals to them.
Guess which low-energy loser cuck might be jumping in?!:
ROFLMAO-is this fascist going to run under the banner of the Soda Tax Party? I’d love to see him run and the plutocrats bankrupt themselves by spending hundreds of billions dollars while their media cronies on the Wall Street Journal and CNN bleat about how he’d be a “great uniter” or some bullshit like that only to have him win less votes than the Green and Libertarian candidates.
Don’t laugh. Bloomberg is smart to poll Clinton vs. Trump, because that’s the best race for a third party that can possibly exist. Two candidates who a majority don’t like is fertile ground for a third party challenge.
I’d vote for Bloomberg in that race simply because I know he’s competent, and his stupid ideas would get past neither a Democrat nor a Republican Congress.
A Bloomberg third party run in a Trump v Clinton race would be Trump’s manna from heaven.
Besides the fact that billionaires can commission all sorts of things to stroke their egos including presidential polls, its curious that no numbers seemed to have been released. This of course ignores that Bloomberg’s been sort of under the radar in the last few years (especially outside of the greater NYC area) and all TRUMP has to rally the base around is make fun of his soda tax while Clinton need only point out that whatever Sanders supporters may think about her, Bloomberg is a blatant Wall Street shill. A Trump or even a Webb third-party candidacy in a Hillary vs. Rubio or Cruz race would win far more votes then Bloomberg would in a Hillary vs. Trump race.
A Bloomberg presidency would be a great prelude for a genuine populist of the Huey Long variety to rise to power with solid majorities at his or her back in both houses of Congres.
I don’t think it helps Trump. I don’t see too many Clinton voters defecting to Bloomberg. What Bloomberg actually does is give Republicans that can’t stand Trump a reasonable billioniare to vote for. Plus a lot of independents, but Clinton was also going to lose the independent vote anyway.
The end result would probably look a lot like Clinton-Bush-Perot.
