Donald Trump Rants At Boston Globe For Satirical “Front Page’

Click on image to enlarge

This past Sunday, the Boston Globe created an entirely fictional front page for the newspaper imagining the future of America under a “President Trump.”

The “news stories” included stock markets crating, mass deportations beginning at a cost of $00 billion, Fox News’ Megyn Kelly reporting from bars because she’s placed on a “White House black list,” and soldiers refusing to kill the children of members of ISIS.

The editors warned: “This is Donald Trump’s American. What you read on this page is what might happen if the GOP front-runner can put his ideas into practice, his works into action. Many Americans might find this appealing, but the Globe’s editorial board finds it deeply troubling.”

The Globe went on to say, “It is an exercise in taking a man at his word.”

Donald Trump, unsurprisingly, was not pleased.

Speaking in upstate New York last night, he shared this rant with this followers”

“How about that stupid Boston Globe? It’s worthless. Sold for a dollar. Did you see that story? The whole front page — they made up a story that Trump — they pretended Trump as the president. And they made up—the whole front page is a make believe story, which is really, no different from the whole paper for the whole thing. I mean the whole thing is no different.”

Fox News Poll: Hillary Clinton Leading Bernie Sanders In New York

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leads Sen. Bernie Sanders in New York state according to the latest Fox News Poll – 53%-37%.

The poll results also show in a hypothetical match-up, Clinton would win New York in the general election against Donald Trump by that same margin – 53%-37%.

Last night, Rosie O'Donnell joined us for a VERY special #DisasterRelief performance with her own Donald J. Trump version of "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" from Grease! #PrepareForDisasterPosted by Disaster – On Broadway on Friday, April 8, 2016

For those who aren’t aware, after each performance of the new parody musical DISASTER, the cast is having guest stars come up on stage and perform to help raise money for Broadway Cares (my favorite charity which helps countless men and women with HIV/AIDS) as a “bonus” to the DISASTER experience.

Rosie O’s lyrics (penned by herself and Seth Rudetsky) are pretty clever.

New Poll: 7 In 10 Americans View Donald Trump Unfavorably

The latest AP/GfK poll shows 70% of Americans have an unfavorable view of current Republican front-runner Donald Trump.

Trump’s unfavorables cut across just about every swath of the U.S. electorate – race, age, gender, political affiliation.

From the AP:

Seven in 10 people, including close to half of Republican voters, have an unfavorable view of Trump, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. It’s an opinion shared by majorities of men and women; young and old; conservatives, moderates and liberals; and whites, Hispanics and blacks — a devastatingly broad indictment of the billionaire businessman.

Even in the South, a region where Trump has won GOP primaries decisively, close to 70 percent view him unfavorably. And among whites without a college education, one of Trump’s most loyal voting blocs, 55 percent have a negative opinion.

Trump still leads the Republican field in delegates and has built a loyal following with a steady share of the Republican primary electorate. But the breadth of his unpopularity raises significant questions about how he could stitch together enough support in the general election to win the White House.

Funny: Donald Trump In “Mean Girls”

Hysterical. This is so ‘fetch.’

Via Pink News:

In a hilarious new video from The Crazy Gorilla, we see the presidential wannabe tackle Regina George, the blonde tyrant who rules her school in a way Trump could soon rule a whole country.

Despite his obvious ego, Trump proves no match for George, who repeatedly tells her high school rival to ‘shut up’.

Other highlights see the controversial businessman fall into a trash can, join the girls on stage… and get hit by a school bus.

All this plus The Donald dressed as a slutty Santa. Clever stuff here.

Donald Trump Has Lowest Net Favorability Of Any Recent GOP or Democratic Nominee

Donald Trump’s net favorability rating is lower than that of any recent GOP or Democratic nominee.

From the New York Times:

Mr. Trump has become unacceptable, perhaps irreversibly so, to broad swaths of Americans, including large majorities of women, nonwhites, Hispanics, voters under 30 and those with college degrees — the voters who powered President Obama’s two victories and represent the country’s demographic future. All view him unfavorably by a 2-to-1 margin, according to a recent New York Times/CBS News poll.

“There is no precedent for this,” said Neil Newhouse, a veteran Republican pollster. “In the modern polling era, since around World War II, there hasn’t been a more unpopular potential presidential nominee than Donald Trump.”

Stan Greenberg, the longtime Democratic pollster, released a survey Friday summing up Mr. Trump’s vulnerabilities under the headline, “Earthquake?” Mr. Trump trails Mrs. Clinton by 23 points among women in Mr. Greenberg’s poll, suggesting the possibility of a gender gap of historic proportions. (The Times survey last month had Mrs. Clinton leading by 20 points among women.) The largest gender gap in the last 36 years was Bob Dole’s 11-point loss among women against Bill Clinton in 1996.

SNL Cold Open: Donald Trump v Woman

You know how when you watch cable news shows during the presidential election cycle and the candidate’s surrogates and supporters simply can’t see or acknowledge ANY fact that is less than flattering about their candidate?

Last night’s SNL cold open featured “Scottie Nell Hughes” (Cecily Strong) defending comments by “Donald Trump” (Darrell Hammond) about women to CNN’s “Kate Bolduan” (Kate McKinnon).

Donald Trump Makes A “Huge” Announcement

Jimmy Kimmel Live! shares this HUGE announcement from Donald Trump.

Regular readers know I’ve actually speculated on this very scenario.

From Raw Story:

“Nine months ago, I announced my candidacy for president,” says a pretty good Trump impersonator, in a voice-over. “The journey has been an unbelievably interesting one — and fascinating. But, it’s also been a real wakeup call.”

As video plays of violence at Trump rallies, he continues: “Our country is totally divided. There’s so much hatred — so, that’s what I made my campaign about! I said the craziest things I could think of.”

“April Fools, America!” declares ‘Trump. “I’m not really running for president. It was a joke! You’re so stupid, it’s mind-boggling. It really is. Now go vote for my friend Hillary Clinton, and Make America Great Again. I can’t believe you bought these crappy hats.”

Trump On Campaign Manager’s Battery Charges: “I Don’t Know What ‘Touch’ Means”

Another Donald Trump moment from last night’s Republican Presidential Town Hall on CNN:

Anderson Cooper brought up the recent battery charges brought against Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, by a former Breitbart reporter.

The Trump campaign originally denied the incident ever happened at all. Now, security camera video shows Lewandowski grabbing the reporter during a campaign stop.

Trump responded with a dramatic reading of the reporter’s statement.

From Mediaite:

Cooper asked Trump about Lewandowski blatantly lying about touching Fields before being charged with battery over it today. Trump said, “I don’t know what ‘touch’ means.”

He proceeded to read off her claims of how she was yanked by his campaign manager and almost fell, peppered with mocking little comments like “Give me a break” and “She didn’t even have any expression” and “She had no trouble with her balance.”

Trump went on to say the reporter’s pen could have been “a little bomb.” Seriously.
