Nuh-uh! He wants everyone to work harder hours, working longer hours means overtime pay… Unless he truly is as stupid as a braying ass.

The other GOP primary candidates are going to have a hard time convincing voters they are centrist compassionate conservatives while also continuing to publicly tolerate @realDonaldTrump racist hate speech and bullying.

Is entitled another good word for someone who doesn’t understand real work but thinks he does because money? Entitled or … Yes, entitled.

Man, this is amusing but also like taking candy from a baby. A dead baby. Wearing an embarrassing toupee.

That’s actually a good point. Maybe the dems can win by just pointing out to whichever clown gets the R nomination that they all were fine with Trump being an asshole, and tacitly supported his hate speech. And a couple even stood behind that bastard.

Yes, it’s certainly an accurate description of what’s happening.
The GOP chair calls candidate Trump ostensibly to stop the hate speech, and the candidate tells the NYTimes he was congratulated by him.
First voter response? Maybe? Who’s telling the truth?
Second take? It doesn’t matter.
I do believe that Trump has ulterior motives…
His ultimate goal is to bring about a new world order in order to Immanentize the Idiocraton!
President Trump:
Shit. I know shit’s bad right now, with all that starving bullshit, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution.
Congressman #1:
That’s what you said last time, dipshit!
Congressman #2:
Yeah, I got a solution, you’re a dick! South Carolina, what’s up!
Ow My Balls! Guy: Ow, my balls!

Not trying to rain on anyone’s parade or ruin the fun. I had a minor Dad emergency and didn’t get a chance to finish the comment. I was going to say that it’s amazing that the Twitter exchange fits in perfectly with what Trump is saying and doing today.
He’s always been an ass and it goes all the way back to the 80’s when he came onto the scene. I think at one point he was offering to negotiate a nuclear arms agreement with the Russians, saying it would only take him a few hours to be brought up to speed on the current technology and the complete geo-political situation.
My 14 year old watched one of his press conferences and said, “I can feel myself getting dumber the longer I watch, but I can’t stop.”

OH! Hope the Dad emergency came out alright…
But yeah… maybe that’s his whole thing- he’s actually there to distract us from the terrible reality of the political field right now. Bread and circuses and all that. Oligarchy deploying the court jester or some such.

Seems plausible to me, as do claims that Bernie Sanders functions that way too.
That Sanders is part of the circuses, you mean? That he’s another court jester? Maybe the media is attempting to make him into that (like they did with Nader and Kucinich), but he’s probably the most serious guy there. He actually talks about issues with some actual depth and what seems to be sincerity in his stump speeches.
But, yeah, I suppose he could be a honey pot. That just means things are literally hopeless…

Jester, honey pot, sheepdog, I’m not sure which term fits when I’m feeling especially cynical about it all. I don’t doubt Sanders’ sincerity when he calls out the plutocrats (though I do wish he’d use that term more often, or even at all), and I haven’t decided yet what I think about his campaign, but so many hope-inspiring candidates have been ultimately ignored or coopted before that it’s tough for me to get on the wagon yet again for this one. One of the analyses I was referring to above:
