1 Like

All I can think of when I see Hanz or Franz Drumpf, especially when they talk.

Now you look at Kellyanne and the other people we’re bringing in and they’re absolutely fantastic and I think they’re going to be the ones that bring us all the way through November 8th and ultimately get us the victory," Eric Trump said

"My father just didn’t want to have the distraction looming over the campaign and quite frankly looming over all the issues that Hillary is facing right now," he said.

ummm…

Eric…

Your dad’s current campaign issues can’t be blamed on just one thing. But shoot for a take two, because jet-lag can be a killer.

But wait a sec here, Eric - how is this a “resignation” by Manafort if you’re now claiming that Daddy didn’t want “the distraction looming”? Or was that yet another in the unending series of lies that are the Don HO campaign?

I swear, this is the most disorganized bunch of wannabes I’ve ever witnessed!

TPM:

“My father didn’t want to be you know distracted by whatever things Paul was dealing with,” the younger Trump said on Fox News, before praising the “amazing” Manafort for helping the campaign “get to the convention.”

Meanwhile, Putin was over heard at the Kremlin banging his shoe against a table this morning and shouting, “Trump! Will! REGRET! This!”

Nah, Putin’s fine. He’s happy to let Manafort be the sacrifial lamb to distract the gulible from his real puppet… Trump himself.

Remember Putin, like Trump, is more than happy to use people and then discard them when their utility has worn out… Just Putin will actually “discard them” if you catch my drift.

Well thanks for clearing the air of any “looming distractions” moving forward Mr. tRump the younger!

Yeah, Eric the lesser, seems to not realize the story was “Manafort resigns of his own volition”, his comments make it sound like he was fired…

Good job, I guess we know who the favorite son is right now.

He is right, you know, the Trump campaigns message "Crooked Hillary ! Hillary bad! " requires our full attention.

Manafort…Rasputin he ain’t.

Evil, maybe. Genius, most definitely not.

You can almost look at this pivot-shuffle sleight-of-hand like it was originally meant to be devised for any onlooker, as a way to change the focus of attention…Its that one handed card shuffle in which the deck is split in two or three and ends up right where it all started…only most people think the deck has been thoroughly shuffled and changed. No such thing. The carnies think they know what they’re doing…and it still ain’t pretty.

“Eric Trump offered vague explanations for the resignation of Paul Manafort.”

My Sunday morning fantasy…

Chuck Todd: “Mr. Trump, why did your former campaign manager employ a Russian Army-trained linguist with an intelligence background? Why did the Kremlin’s puppet dictator of Ukraine earmark $12.7 million for Mr. Manafort? And why did a Russian oligarch pay you $100 million for a $40 million Florida property during the global real estate collapse?”

Donald Trump: (Long pause.) “You know, you ask a lotta questions for a journalist.”

Chuck Todd: (Audibly soils self.)

Heehee. I follow the guy on Twitter who came up with the now-classic “tiny-fingered, cheeto faced, ferret-wearing shitgibbon” line- he has merchandise now, all proceeds going to charity. I think you can find it on redbubble.com.
