Trump Wishes Clinton Would Have Congratulated Him In Her DNC Speech

Donald Trump lamented Friday that Hillary Clinton did not congratulate him during her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention.

During a rally in Colorado Springs, Trump said he tuned in to Clinton's speech "out of curiosity" to see if Clinton would mention his name and was disappointed she didn't congratulate him for winning the GOP nomination.

"I was curious to see whether she'd do a class act and not mention my name," Trump said. "Or mention it with respect, like, say, 'I'd like to congratulate my Republican opponent for having done something that nobody has ever done in the history of politics in this nation.'"

Trump went on to say that he has been the more civil one in campaigning against Clinton because he does not join in on chants of "lock her up" when people yell them at his rallies, but that his kindness has run out.

4. Trump calls for Clinton to be jailed (June 4)

Donald Trump on Thursday called for his likely Democratic rival Hillary Clinton to be imprisoned.

"I will say this, Hillary Clinton has got to go to jail," Trump told supporters here as he slammed Clinton's foreign policy speech earlier in the day in which Clinton called Trump dangerous and "temperamentally unfit" to be president.

An article I read earlier today talked about how he has always had to be the center of every discussion and this goes back decades. I think it was the Washington Post article from 1984 which was a link to the article about his claims that he was responsible for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial being built. Of course it was a lie. But the man has an insatiable need to believe that he is at the center most people's thinking at any given time, and the thought that he really tuned in to the DNC Convention on the last night to see what Hillary was saying about him, and what he expected her to say was so far removed from reality, leaves me to feeling I have only one option.

I must alert Adult Protection Services that he is a threat to himself. He is seriously demented at this point. The man really is sick.

She called him a homegrown demagogue. Seems to me that's the ultimate compliment to a uy like that

Dipshit donnie sad.... Pout pout

I would love to see a tally of how many times he has whined someone was mean and nasty to him, how they rigged the system so he would win, or stuff like this.

I'd love to see a trumpwhines website tracking it. But if someone tried they would probably be found curled up on the floor drooling and saying get him out of my head in a week.

on behalf of Hillary Clinton: Congratulations for proving that almost half of all eligible voters are willing to support someone for president who has zero political experience or expertise, is immature and thin-skinned, and is bad at managing businesses. Congratulations on helping to make racism, sexism, and xenophobia less taboo in America. Congratulations on dividing a major party and helping to turn it into something that is unrecognizable from how it once was decades ago. Congratulations on all the playground insults you've created for all your rivals. Congratulations on having zero endorsements from any current or former U.S. presidents who are still alive. You deserve it!
