It’s OK, Drumph already called him a “loser” so that ends the discussion.

Re Trump’s (or his spokesman’s) claim that Stone was fired: There seems not to be a single graceful, or gracious, bone in Trump’s body. Every engagement with people is divided into two categories: Who adulates Trump; and who slights or neglects him.

Dude: There is a third way–it’s called “Let it go.” You’d be wise to look into finally learning how to do that.

News flash, Stone - Trump has only one core issue: Donald Trump.

Stone also shared with MSNBC the letter of resignation Stone said he sent Trump, in which he wrote, “Unfortunately, the current controversies involving personalities and provocative media fights have reached such a high volume that it has distracted attention from your platform and overwhelmed your core message."

Trump has a core message other than “controversies involving personalities and provocative media fights”?? Golly, who knew?

Who’d this guy expect, Nelson Rockefeller? Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Next minion, please step forward!

So the guy who makes his living helping political campaigns burn their opponents with lies and distortions doesn’t like it when he is screwed with the same tactics. Welcome to tRumpland. It’s hard to decide which one of them is more reprehensible, so we’ll just call it a tie, eh?

Well, considering that Roger Stone has been an epic vote-stealing slimeball since the Nixon administration, I’m only sorry that he and The Donald aren’t inflicting more damage upon one another.

There simply is not enough space on the internet to host the number of adjectives that would describe Roger Stone

I for one, however, was surprised this was not the schizophrenic that wants to be the dictator of America that Josh wrote about the other day.

Roger Stone who is proud to be “the man from Citizens United Not Timid” seriously the dude is like Donald Trump with a less interesting mental illness

Wow! Even a former aid to the shenanigans of Richard 'Tricky Dick" Nixon thinks that Trump is too much.

QuoteFix:

“Mr. Trump wants to keep the focus of the campaign on How to Grift the (R)ubes for Profit.”

“Unfortunately, the current controversies involving personalities and provocative media fights have reached such a high volume that it has distracted attention from your platform and overwhelmed your core message."

Sorry, this isn’t believable, ergo, he must have been fired. As someone has already pointed out, Trump has no core message or platform. That’s the entire point of his campaign! His strategy is the following: Step 1: Say/do something outrageous and outlandish that shocks the media and the establishment. Step 2: Revel in the glory and adulation offered up by the base. Step 3: Rinse and repeat.

The base, like a spoiled child, has been told they can do no wrong and act accordingly. Now, there’s no putting that genie back in the bottle. And if you try, well then, you’re just not conservative enough. Congratulations Repubs!

Plus, after all the shenanigans Stone has been involved with over the years, I can’t believe roughing up Megan Kelly, however classless and undignified, is all of a sudden a deal-breaker for him. What, he was okay with calling all Mexicans rapists and McCain a loser?

After Trump told The Washington Post’s Robert Costa Saturday that he had canned Stone Friday evening by e-mail, Stone denied the claim to Costa and took to Twitter to rebut Trump’s account.

Though its done now@whatevs, in regards to the curious, there is a way to solve this: timestamps. All (if not…mea culpa) e-mail and text messaging have a way of showing what time a message was sent. Whoever sent first, ‘wins’ (the prize is slowly becoming irrelevant, but a win is a win.)

As for…

“Roger wanted to use the campaign for his own personal publicity. He has had a number of articles about him recently and Mr. Trump wants to keep the focus of the campaign on How to Make American Great Again.”

Not sure if that’s a typo or a Freudian slip.

May 27, 2008 - This week’s New Yorker profile of gonzo GOP operative Roger Stone tells us a lot of things…Donald Trump hates Stone almost as much as he hates Rosie O’Donnell: “Roger is a stone-cold loser,” he said. “He always tries taking credit for things he never did.”

Trump owns the “Make America Great Again” trade mark. So when his super pac uses those words he gets paid. He’s making money off his own campaign.
