Donald Trump On Meditation
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.
HIllary Clinton Takes Aim At Donald Trump In “New York” Campaign Ad
Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton slaps at Donald Trump in a new campaign ad airing in New York.
The ad juxtaposes the state’s wide-ranging diversity with Trump’s rhetoric on Muslims, Hispanics and others, while including images of New York firefighters and rebuilding the World Trade Center.
The ad never mentions Trump by name, but does include an image of a banner saying “Trump: Coming in 2016.”
Here’s the text of the spot, narrated by Hillary Clinton:
“New York. Twenty million people strong.
“No, we don’t all look the same. We don’t all sound the same, either.
“But when we pull together, we do the biggest things in the world.
“So when some say we can solve America’s problems by building walls, banning people based on their religion, and turning against each other… Well, this is New York. And we know better.”
New York’s Democratic primary is April 19th and has 247 delegates up for grabs.
Three of this year’s candidates – Clinton, Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders (of Vermont) call New York home.
Anderson Cooper To Trump: “That’s The Argument Of A Five-Year-Old”
At last night’s CNN Republican Presidential Town Hall, Donald Trump attempted to explain the feud between himself and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas which has included photos and tweets of their wives.
Cooper brought up Trump’s decision to share an image comparing the appearance of his wife to Cruz’s. The tweet used an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz.
After trying to obfuscate the issue by talking about GQ Magazine covers and great photographers, Trump resorted to “I didn’t start it.”
This is how the conversation went.
Cooper: You’re running for president of the United States.
Trump: Excuse me, I didn’t start It. I didn’t start it.
Cooper: But, sir, with all due respect, that the argument of a 5 year old.
Trump: No, it’s not.
Cooper: The argument of a 5 year old is “he started it.”
Trump: You would say that. That’s the problem with our country.
Cooper: Every parent knows a kid who says “he started it.”
Trump: Excuse me. No, no. That’s the problem. Exactly that thinking is the problem this country has.
Here’s the whole exchange:
Donald Trump Explains His Sexist Comments: “I Never Thought I Would Run For Office”
Talking to Wisconsin talk radio host Charles Sykes, GOP White House hopeful Donald Trump brushed away his long history of sexist comments with a very simple explanation.
He’s an entertainer who never thought he’d run for office.
Via Mediaite:
In what turned out to be a very contentious interview, Sykes pointed out that Trump was doing very poorly in the polls among women. “A lot of this has to do with, let’s be honest about this, with conservative women who are repelled by your attitude and your treatment of women,” he argued.
So why, despite all that, did he make the comments? “I’ve been a person that’s been in the entertainment business and a very big person in business and I’ve been quoted over the years by everybody… I became a celebrity,” he argued.
“Are the rules different for celebrities?” Sykes pressed. “Are celebrities allowed to insult women?”
“Well the rules aren’t different, but I never thought I would run for office,” Trump said. “And many people, Howard Stern would interview me and everybody would be having fun, and the women would be laughing.”
