"I don’t want people to think I’m grandstanding — which I’m not,” he continued. “But it would get high ratings.”
…but enough about me, let’s talk about what you think about me.
Theatre of the Absurd.
So David Duke is back in a prime time slot.
He might yet. It may come down to Trump speaking, or re-runs of The Apprentice.
Dontcha get it? I’m so humble, I am the humblest person in Cleveland, no, wait, I am the humblest person on the continent. Seriously, People tell me I am the humblest person on earth.
Plus, my kids told me to shut up for awhile.
And Ivanka took away my phone, so I can’t tweet anymore.
I coulda been a pretender…
Trump also indicated that he won’t mix up the convention format very much and that he plans to stay “on message”
To be fair, staying “on message” when the “message” is one of incoherence is no challenge. Word salad is word salad no matter how many different ways you say it.
There’s a great line in “Money Pit” where Alexander Gudonov’s character says to Shelley Long’s “…but enough about you, let’s talk about me.”
Not sure why Donnie always puts me in mind of that…
Except if you had a narcissist character talking this way, everyone who read the play would complain it was too on the nose and nobody really talks that way.
In the first episode of “Cheers,” Shelley Long is eloping with this very self absorbed BU professor who says to her, “I may not be perfect—and then again, I may—but the point is…” Of course that was meant as humor—unrealistic, exaggerated, not something you’d expect in real life. Until now.
Word salad is word salad no matter how you toss it. FIFY
Well, when nobody else was willing to speak…
Even Clint’s chair apparently took a pass.
So the stage wasnt dramatic enuff for him to not grandstand?
O, to see Trump as Père Ubu!!
in later news…
Donnie Dipshit was rushed to the ER because of a sudden pain in his arm from patting himself on the back…
Also from the “Money Pit”–“I lost her too, but I will get over it because I am shallow and self-centered.” I guess we could apply that the the election as well!
Yes, that movie is full of great lines. “I never understood how you passed the Bar” – “That’s not surprising, you never passed a bar in your life…”
It may be old, but I get a laugh out of it every damn time I watch it.
Oh, please, please, please reconsider. Three nights of you is what America desperately needs! Nothing would convince those not already convinced what a disaster you are! Please reconsider and speak all three nights. In fact, don’t allow anyone to speak except you, because no one can adequately describe the Donald better than the Donald.
“They” asked you to do that, huh? Name two.
When you have LePage, Arpaio, Brewer and Carl Palladino speaking, even Trump is boring. No one wants to follow the naked guy who summersaults his way cross stage. Not even Trump.
