Trump called Evan McMullin "Evan McMuffin" tonight. This was McMullin's response:

https://twitter.com/Evan_McMullin/status/809970937135321089

@realdonaldtrump, I hear Egg McMuffins taste a lot better than the steaks at the Trump Grill. True story?


And he linked to the Vanity Fair review that upset Trump:

Trump Grill Could Be the Worst Restaurant in America
And it reveals everything you need to know about our next president.

McMullin has given him absolutely no quarter since the election. Dems would be wise to follow suit.

And why did he only come up in the last leg of the race? He could have provided some much needed comic relief. That's some high-level burning there.

since every decent hotel seems to have an in house restaurant that shoves out the same menu in the same uninspired way.

I did get a kick out of this, "Donald Trump is “a poor person’s idea of a rich person,” Fran Lebowitz recently observed at The Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit. “They see him. They think, ‘If I were rich, I’d have a fabulous tie like that.’” How true, how true.

As someone whose arse actually parked in a "George Washington sat there" threadbare chair in someone's sitting room, I know what the real thing looks like. Hint: there's no gilt and very little marble.

That kind of stuff is immature and not funny by 4th grade.

He does make the news interesting in that he does or says something weird just about every day, but I'm waiting for when he does something dangerously stupid and immature. It's coming. I think it's inevitable and it'll probably be just the beginning of an avalanche of disasters.

The wealthiest, most powerful and influential nation in history now has Donald Trump in the drivers seat, texting the whole time. "Interesting times" in history are not often good times. WWll was described as interesting times.

Is all the comedy that will come out of this ..presidency... There won't be a day that goes by where will fail to act like an asshole. Some of it will be dark humor, some ironic, but making fun of that disgusting individual is about to become a national pastime.

Wait and see. The slack-jawed yokels lining up to dine. Of course, just water and complementary bread. I can see it now. John and Peggy Smith from Bismarck with their red hats and flag shirts. Will they be turned away? Probably. It won't matter. They will be eager to vote for him again.
