86. Right. Standard Trump: Braggidochio + slap at GOP and CNN.
Wed Dec 2, 2015, 10:05 AM
Dec 2015

For the fade, though? Haven't his supporters surprised us all?

I'm wondering if Trump has become addicted to the heightened attention of a candidate. He has supposedly pledged to spend a billion on his election, and the laughable has become shockingly possible. Trump may just not fade until November 6, and even after of course.

What do you want to bet he already sees himself as a magnificent "statesman" on the world stage? An easy guess is that Trump will always be eager to give the world the benefit of his wisdom, and especially the next president...
