If the statue isn’t brought back Trump wants everyone to boycott Penn St.

Just picture the daily, scratch that HOURLY, clarifications the White House Spox will have to release if this man actually managed to become president. What an inarticulate baffoon.

I think he articulates way too much

“I know a lot about Pennsylvania, and it’s great. How’s Joe Paterno? We gonna bring that back? Right?” he asked the crowd. “How about that whole deal?”

OK - any Pennsylvanian who can listen to this and still vote for Rump anyway is SO FAR GONE it just doesn’t matter what he does. Not one bit. (and yes, I do believe that the caps are necessary to express the overabundance on insanity at this point.)

Trump probably feels that Joe Paterno and the statue were victims of political correctness.

In fairness to Trump (while I throw up a bit in my mouth), he did say ‘bring that back’, which strongly suggests that he was talking about an object, not a person. Maybe he meant something else… who knows what bizarre thoughts are rummaging around in his tick-sized brain. But I don’t believe he was meaning the person.

He has an unerring instinct, I’ll give him that, for putting his finger on issues in which large numbers of people are ignorant and wrong.

Imagine his first SOTU address.

Anyone starting to think that Trump is actually and truly delusional? I mean that non-sarcastically. He seems to literally live in a fantasy world.

Pittsburgh has had a historic rivalry with Penn State. Trump is an idiot.

It was initially unclear whether Trump was asking about Paterno himself
or a statue of the football coach that was removed from the university’s
campus. Following the rally, the Trump campaign clarified that he was referring to the statue.
…
Donnie, it would be helpful, to your campaign, your audience, and the public at large if you could speak in coherent sentences. Please Donnie, leave the word salad to Tundra Spice.

I’m beginning to think the poor guy has some sort of brain damage

Isn’t this what defines a real conservative?

I’m quietly amazed that this is the first thing that came to his mind when he was brainstorming how to pander to Pennsylvanians. The subject of Paterno is a kind of moral Chernobyl—no sane person would go near it for this purpose. And yet he zeros right in on it. But as a rapist himself, maybe he can see the situation in a way most of us can’t.

This is a stupid click-bait article. Focus on what else the Trumpster said in Pittsburgh. Here, he said that a Trump Presidency would revive the dirty coal and steel industries that have been gone for 35 years. More pandering Trump promises. That’s the real idiocy of what he says, not stupid JOPA comments.

Gotta get that sexual predator vote for any chance against Hillary! Maybe he can get Denny Hastert out on the campaign trail, too.

This is a giant blinking neon sign that Donald Trump doesn’t know fuckall about sports, especially college sports.

Even if he was just clumsily attempting to ingratiate himself with diehard Paterno fans at Penn State, WHY WAS HE SAYING THIS IN PITTSBURGH? You know, where the University of Pittsburgh is located? While Paterno put Penn State’s football rivalry with Pitt on ice after the 2000 season, this didn’t at all diminish the intense loathing that the fanbases of the rival schools have for each other. Think Michigan-Michigan State, or Auburn-Alabama, or Kentucky-Louisville.

Trump can’t open his mouth without putting his foot in it. The fact that he simultaneously steps on his dick with the other foot is especially impressive.
