It was pretty obvious the people shouting were Trump employees.

You were probably overqualified for Celebrity Apprentice anyhow.

Do you mean your team of crack investigators or your team of sexy ones?

I don’t know much about show business. Only that there’s no business like it. No business I know. But I do know that the business tends to employ a lot of actors. Case in point.

Instead of paying actors he should have just offered free food and entertainment for anyone who attended. Jeb Bush did his rally in a friendly atmosphere and than afterwards had free food for everyone who attended. So, what is the difference, get paid in cash or in free food and entertainment?

Yes, why not have some decent working people , instead of a bunch of hungry/starving losers like Jeb! did ? Donald Trump has way too much class to stoop that low.

The question isn’t how many present were on the payroll. Was anyone at all “just” a regular supporter or volunteer? That’s the question.

Barbie and The Donald have many assets

What does he see in her!!! I mean, he doesn’t have to brag or anything?? I’m sure he’s not impotent…Wait, is she wearing an ‘Ask me about ED’ button?

The idiot repig-owned MSM would make a big deal out of the “huge crowds” that showed up everywhere the Steroid Queen would go in California. Then someone noticed it was always the same people-obsessed fanboys who followed their Queen everywhere.

As I wrote yesterday, we live a block from Trump Tower, and my wife was talking to a few of the actors, all of them teens. She was asking them how they could possibly be Trump supporters, and they revealed they were just there “working”.

Were any of his past “apprentices” there? Every reality show presidential campaign needs it’s celebrities. Or would The Donald be willing to share the spotlight with anyone?

And looks like she’s got three boobs there!

Am I the only one who hopes TPM simply ignores DT from here on?

The actor playing Trump’s press secretary did not immediately respond to request from TPM for comment on Wednesday.

Gee and I thought we were watching ALL of the people who would be voting for him in the primaries…anywhere.

A friend was at Bergdorfs and said it looked like a hired crowd…But she is a stanch Hillary fan so I ignored it …Guess I owe her an apology

Best line of the night was Lewis Black’s on Larry Wilmore’s show. Black said Trump shows we have met the intersection of satire and real life. No need to edit stuff Trump says to make a joke out of it because it already is one.
