“I’m really good with war. I love war, in a certain way.”

The ad ends: “Donald Trump, too dangerous for America.”

Bill Maher On Trump Campaign: “This Was The Week It Ended”

Bill Maher and his panel on HBO’s Real Time took a look at GOP White House hopeful Donald Trump’s drop in the polls this week and what the causes were: attacks on Trump University judge, and selfish “I was right” messages coming after the deadly Orlando nightclub shooting.

Said Maher:

“I see it as, this was the week it ended. And by the way I don’t think I’m the only one, because most of the Republicans who were caught on camera this week basically said, ‘I don’t want to talk about it.’ I mean they dashed into the elevator. … The judge thing looked selfish. There is no constituency for Trump University except Donald Trump…And then the first thing out of his mouth after Orlando was, ‘I was right. I was right about terrorism.’ He looks like what he is — a narcissist.”

Trump Says “Ask The Gays” Which Candidate Will Be Better For Them And “The Gays” Respond

What can you say to this latest misstep by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump except #EpicFail?

Clip description:

The latest in a never ending slew of classic Trump responses, this time, an appalling comment surrounding homosexuality in Saudi Arabia.

Trump said, “Ask the gays what they think and what they do, in, not only Saudi Arabia, but many of these countries, and then you tell me who’s your friend, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?”

The fact that Trump is reportedly making potential business deals in Saudi Arabia sent “The gays,” as Trump so lovingly refers to LGTBQ Americans, quickly to Twitter making it very, very clear that Trump is no friend of theirs.

As you can imagine, “the gays” went on a Twitter spree mocking the Orange One to hilarious results.

Donald Trump’s Unfavorability Hits Highest Level Since Announcing Candidacy For President

From CNN:

Donald Trump’s unfavorability level is at 70%, the highest since announcing his presidential campaign, according to a new poll out Tuesday.

According to the new Washington Post/ABC News survey, 7 out of 10 American adults have an unfavorable opinion of the Republican presumptive presidential nominee. That’s a significant reversal from a few weeks ago when Trump’s polling seemed to be trending upward.

Just 29% reported having a favorable opinion of Trump in the new poll.

Among Hispanic respondents, that number is 89% unfavorable.

In related news, Hillary Clinton has surged to a 12 point lead over Trump in the latest Bloomberg Politics poll.
