Enough with the sarcasm. Trump even believes in racial equality for losers who can’t afford Mar-a-Lago, because illegal immigrants took all the good jobs. By the grace of Trump, people of all colors are allowed to watch The Apprentice.

Modern day update of Marie Antoinette: “… but for the less fortunate, I let them make equal monthly payments”.

Yes, he totally gets credit for building a club he doesn’t own because, according to him, at any rate it doesn’t violate the civil rights laws and is open to anyone with a hundred k to blow on membership.

Trump just said in Columbus, “I don’t want to make America whole. Whole? Whatever that means.”

Already been done. It’s called the NBA.

Hey, it’s not just the members policy that is inclusive. The maids are Latina, the shoeshine boys are black, the front desk clerks are gay, and one of the bartenders is part Asian. There’s work for everyone in Trumpland.

Just as likely candidates are the DEA and the Secret Service.

I’d like to know what kind of covenants trump uses in order to manage the residential developments he owns? Or how many of his individual residential units are below market. Or what the profile is of trump development residents.

Pay to play is not equality

True, the guard shack to the White House grounds has a condom dispenser.

I followed the links to his sons. The Donald’s father, Fred Trump, had a middle name of “Christ.” Explains a lot.

Also this: “By the time of his death, Trump was estimated to have amassed a fortune worth $250 to $300 million.”

So The Donald is not such a self-made man. In fact:

“Had the celebrity busi­ness­man and Re­pub­lic­an pres­id­en­tial can­did­ate in­ves­ted his even­tu­al share of his fath­er’s real-es­tate com­pany in­to a mu­tu­al fund of S&P 500 stocks in 1974, it would be worth nearly $3 bil­lion today, thanks to the mar­ket’s per­form­ance over the past four dec­ades. If he’d in­ves­ted the $200 mil­lion that For­bes magazine de­term­ined he was worth in 1982 in­to that in­dex fund, it would have grown to more than $8 bil­lion today.”

dRumpf would have been drummed out of the race by now if we had Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report on daily skewering him, while the next morning the cable media religiously showed the mockery through clips like in the “good old days”.

Instead, what we get is full coverage of every rally, from beginning to end, of dRumpf’s bullshit without commercial interruption, fawning over how immune he is because of his savvy showmanship, and constant free publicity for the asshole because he brings up their ratings.

If this man gets elected President because Dems don’t show up to the polls, we will be soooo screwed.

I bet most Repukes are sorry now they went after Jon Stewart and Colbert. They knew how to take down a real bullshitter like dRumpf with complete ease.
