Anyone who says they " have the best words " is basically an idiot.

“…speaking with myself.” So he is in fact speaking with the best people in his head.

A man who is his own foreign policy advisor should not be president.

But are they his best voices, truly? Or are they the bats*t crazy ones? And do they change from moment to moment?

A candidate who advises himself on foreign policy has a fool for a client.

Similar to a defendant that represents himself in court. A fool for a client.

Why would he consult god? God is clearly a loser! After the Noah flood, god said he’d never do that again, implying that it was a mistake. Only LOSERS admit to having made a mistake.

No, when it comes to consulting the greatest mind with the best memory and the best words and the biggest dick, no one can out-trump Trump.

Six o’clock, TV hour, don’t get caught in foreign tower
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate…

“I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I said a lot of things,” Trump replied.

which are usually self contradicted within a short amount of time…

“I know what I’m doing and I listen to a lot of people, I talk to a lot of people,” he continued. “And at the appropriate time, I’ll tell you who the people are. But my primary consultant is myself and I have a good instinct for this stuff.”

At least three of these ‘fine fellows’ has Donald Trump’s phone number…

He’s got three distinguished advisers: me, myself, and I. (or is it the ID, the EGO, and the SUPER EGO).

The worlds great social scientists dug in and studied the hell of the rise of Hitler and the German 3rd Reich. If Drumpf pulls off the con job of the century and gets enough scared Americans to vote for him, we will have another era of psychological madness and the social scientists will have another Hitler like moment.

Trump will certainly terminate the US’s position in the International community and several foreign leaders are now saying that may not be such a bad thing as the US has been pulled over to the far right over the last 25 years AND that has decimated the common people in other countries as well as the US (not the rich or the corrupt corporations - the US props them up).

Okay, I understand that a lot of people are voting for Trump as a kind of “go Cheney yourself” to the world, but how long can that possibly be a satisfying rationale for picking the next president?

“I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I said a lot of things” is the kind of thing that used to qualify people for involuntary commitment. Who reads those words and thinks “Yeah, Trump is the guy who’s going to set this country back on course”? Obviously, a lot of partisan Republicans will end up voting for him because, well, that’s what they do. But I predict a large-scale rediscovery of the sanctity of the secret ballot this November - “who I voted for is nobody’s business but my own”.

Great. Another Republican nominee who gets their news solely from within the right wing bubble. Please proceed, Governor.
