Maybe we should just elect Trump president

I think he would like to be elected President. I don't think he actually wants to be President. I highly suspect his narcissism will not actually allow him to lose an election.

but if you think about it "being President" as far as he sees it is the dream job.. you're #1 and everyone has to kiss your ass…. 

man only a day after the logo is public…they removed it

because by Saturday morning the logo had completely vanished. Trump and his conservative minions had scrubbed the image.

They are really losing the media game as of late

love the Coachella rif
but they did get the dates way off??
everything else is spot on

kinda wish this was real….I posted the one with FAKE on it so there was no question

It is truly amazing and kind of maddening to hear people like RNC Spokestooge Sean Spicer arguing it was not plagiarism… I mean I don't really care all that much but they sound like lunatics.. even the Fox news interviewer (Shepard whatever is his name) seems stunned.. interviewers don't know how to confront these bold faced lies.. its like "I know you're lying, you know you're lying….ooooooooooook"

Its like the sun doesn't come out and you have somebody working for Trump saying "Its sunny!!! LOOK UP!!!"

I mean WTF?

All of this plagiarism kerfuffle is just obscuring the real scandal at day 1 of the convention. . .



What!? American whisky not good enough for you, Lou Holtz?! We gotta build a wall to stop that Canadian trash from crossing the border! Smacks, you're a Notre Dame guy: you have any defense of this!?

/s

old people sometimes start to border senility… people need to not put these people up there.. Clint Eastwood was the same…old people say crazy shit…. its sad.. getting old.

Classic stuff here

i agree that trump probably thinks this.  i also suspect that the reality of the job would quickly have him running out of 1600 Penn:

Trump: i am declaring war on ISIS - NOW!!!
WH staffer: you can't do that sir, it requires an act of congress.
T: fine, let's build the border wall - NOW!!!
WHS: no can do, the House is withholding funds
T: eff them, i'm going to put my whole family on the Supreme Court bench!!!
WHS: first you need vacancies, sir, then the Senate would need to confirm them - not going to happen.
T: then let's renegotiate our deal with the chinese!
WHS: the chinese don't want to negotiate, sir, they're happy with the status quo.  also, working this through the WTO will take years.
T: ok, let's get kids to learn about making great deals in school!
WHS: that's a state issue, sir, you can only issue guidelines.
T: screw the lot of you, imma gonna go for a walk and let my adoring public adore me
WHS: that's a security risk, sir, we can't let you leave the white house grounds without days of advance planning.
T: THIS JOB SUCKS, I'M OUTTA HERE. WHERE'S MY HELICOPTER?!?
WHS:  Marine One or your personal one, sir?

This brings up an interesting point: can anyone actually see Trump legit living in the White House for 4 years? I would imagine in a hypothetical Trump presidency, less than 200 night actually spent in the WH. He'd try to "run the country" from Trump Tower, you just know it.

This is why every person who cast a ballot for Bernie Sanders is a complete idiot. The President doesn't just change laws/shut down banks by fiat.

trump supporters don't care what he says.  they aren't listening.  after a year of this, trump and his stooges have internalized this.  why bother telling the truth, or even making sense, if no one cares?  haters gonna hate so no need to cater to them either.

I prefer what he drank yesterday to what he said today…perhaps they go hand in hand.
