I linked to this Jonah Goldberg column earlier but in case you missed it, here's a sample of the Awesome Clownishness of Trump:
Check out his recent interview with CBN’s David Brody. Discussing his religious beliefs, he volunteered, “I think the Bible is certainly, it is the book. It is the thing.” That sounds more like a Larry King blurb than a declaration of faith. And can you just feel the passion when asked how often he attends church? “As much as I can. Always on Christmas. Always on Easter. Always when there’s a major occasion. And during the Sundays.”He's got a million of 'em! Another great idea from the Donald:
Oh well, “during the Sundays.” Never mind then.
Haley Barbour can’t win because he’s too southern and it’s a bad look for a good ol’ boy with a drawl to run against the first black president. Well, we’re in luck. Because as Trump explained last week, “I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks.”
That may be true. But how will “the blacks” feel after the DNC starts distributing excerpts of Trumped, an unofficial biography by a former employee who writes that his old boss hated having a black accountant because “laziness is a trait in blacks,” and, “The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”
I called up the White House about a year ago," the boisterous billionaire told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. "And I saw that they were having lots of functions for people like the president of China … and I said, 'Listen, every time I see a function, you put an old broken canvas tent that they probably pay some guy, some local guy a fortune for.' I said, 'I will build you, free of charge,' to a very high official at the White House, 'one of the great ballrooms of the world,' " Trump said.I think Trump is running for the wrong party's nomination. Combining as he does the narcissism and fraudulance of Obama with the buffoonery and blabber-mouthedness of Biden, he's the liberal dream ticket rolled into one man.
The official was David Axelrod, who confirmed with ABC that the proposed ballroom would be a lot like the gaudy white-and-gold spectacle at Trump's 118-room, 65,000-square-foot-plus Palm Beach, Fla., estate, Mar-A-Lago.

Here's the problem. Zero chance Trump wins a GOP primary. Entirely possible he wins a general, for himself as a GOP nominee (which he can't be) or for Obama as a independent (which only he knows is in the cards or not). The republic teeters on the whim of a unmoored narcissist. Ruh-roh.

"Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive"
I don't think he will run. I think he is just in it for the publicity. He has been really funny to watch, though. He is one of the only elites to speak out against Obama and I really loved seeing the bubble heads try to ignore that! Good entertainment.
ReplyDeleteYeah, well, probably not the candidate for the GOP's bid for the White House, but what a contender! This guy will say what he thinks without caution, without pulling punches, without worrying about how the press will play it, and what a great thing to have someone out early calling Barrack on the carpet. The only others willing to muck it up are Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman. Donald Trump is kind of like having a Hillary Clinton primary fight - she is willing to make waves in stating her case, and we need a few wave makers right now.
ReplyDeleteHey, Jill, did you hear about the Ayn Rand controversy on the ED Show? A reporter claimed that Paul Ryan is dangerous for America because he has read "The Fountainhead" and encourages others to do the same. Check out the romp we are having with David Cay Johnston over at my place.
It's a hoot!
Sigh....please find something else to do Mr. Trump.
