What a guy!


No wonder cities he has held rallies in are still hammering the campaign to be paid.

I imagine that they share their personal property seeing it as a claim to fame, a brush with greatness.

He may not pay them afterwards. As a matter of fact, I'd bet he never will.


When the Trump Campaign says, “Coachella” rally, what they really mean is Calhoun Ranch (red), a former manure farm.

I hope he ends up bed ridden, fed by tube, diapers changed by aides and he gets bed sores and contractures. It would be what he deserves.

He could still hold a rally the week after

Wheel him out in his hospital bed, speakers blaring YMCA, let him do that ‘Double Jerk’ dance thing for 90 minutes.

The MAGATs would still be there, still cheering him on

so there's a name for that stupid dance he does: the "double jerk."



How incredibly appropriate.

But if their Grandpa said that they’d be concerned !

Unfortunately, they’re willing to vote for a demented evil man with cognitive issues who will be replaced by a tech bro controlled by Thiel and Musk who are immigrants to this country.

I think he isn't really even trying to win and his staff knows it too. He would quit now but he's still got a few weeks to fill his pockets with donations from supporters. His campaign manager makes WAY too much money to quit so they are just placating him until the gig is up. He'll go to Venezuela (I think that's what he said a while back) or some place where he can find a corrupt enough regime to take him in, because if he sticks around here, he's due to be sentenced in New York after the election. He's not going to stay around for that. Someone needs to tell him he can scam remotely. Maybe he'll get lost.

They won't keep him around, Russia, and the Saudis will do the same.

Right now he's trying to weight his options, and Rikers v any of the dictators he's worthless too are pretty frightening.

I don't feel bad for him.

I'd say he's right on schedule for his daddy's dementia. He'll sound nearly rational while the sun shines, at least for a while, but beware when it sets. What you see here is the best of what you'll get.

I guessNoem was the female trying to give the old geezer some clues. Since his answers to questions made so little sense, I guess she thought dance time would engage the audience while preventing him from making an even bigger arse of himself.

Oops.
