Trump won’t change what he says regardless of how destructive it is.
This guy is getting to be more and more like my in-laws every day.

Tell Trump some crucial information and what does he do? Just like any good GOPer, he doubles down on “Don’t matter! I am right!”

Trump says it shows “toughness and strength”
It actually shows extreme ignorance and a complete disregard for safety. Trump is saying he would rather create more terrorists and sound tough than have fewer terrorists and not sound tough. What kind of immature idiot thinks like that? Who thinks tough talk actually solves problems?

Another disgraceful morning of Sunday show phoners with America’s Mussolini on the half shell.
I just can’t imagine, Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley or even Phil Donahue, all from the pre deregulation TV period, would have just sat quietly as a jibbering fool drooled into their network microphone.

I played “Trump Turnberry” this past summer. It was hilarious to see the Scottish employees at the golf course laughing their asses off at The Donald and his pretentious stupidity.

“The Axis of Evil.” “Bring 'em on!” “You’re either with us or you’re against us.”

Trump does. Intellectually and emotionally, Donald Trump is a twelve-year-old boy with unlimited access to his father’s money.

You must have some pretty big jerks for in-laws. Sorry.

So how do the Sunday show producers get The Donald to fire up his camera as he has for the super right wing web streamed shows?

LOL. There’s a woman in my family (my sister’s in-law) who is really rather nutty with her conservativism. If she could intelligently back up what she says, I’d have much more respect for her beliefs … but … (sighs). That said, she really loves me and always makes it a point to give me big hugs and kisses and just be around me. This has always confounded me (and others in the family) – she’s a fairly conservative Catholic, has always voted GOP as far back as I can remember, is anti-choice, etc. I’m an openly and proudly gay man who lived in San Francisco for over a decade and a half, championed our full rights, am unapologetically pro-choice. We’re rather different. I will say that after some discussion over a period of time, she did tell me that she’d be happy to attend any wedding of mine (just a hypothetical because I’m not even dating anyone and haven’t for longer than I care to think about). This actually meant a lot to me because she really means that as a show of love – and that’s how I accept it. I don’t hold any animosity toward her because I personally believe she’s a really sad person deep-down. Unfortunately, I can relate. I’ve been there – but it’s what you do with it, it’s how you react to that unhappiness. I also see some of the good in her that she makes it tough for others to know. I don’t see her changing much, though.
All that said, I still don’t look forward to too much time visiting family during the holidays. A few hours tops. So, I can relate … just a little bit. We’ll all sit down to the dinner table, say a prayer (usually my Mother) and break bread.

I guess the other Orange Man was just too fall-down drunk to get to know. Poor Boner.

"I had an epiphany a few years ago where I was out at a celebrity party and it suddenly dawned on me that I had yet to meet a celebrity who is as smart and interesting as any of my friends.

Disturbing, but hardly surprising.
Trump is self-absorbed and self-serving – he really doesn’t give a crap about anyone else but himself.

Trump is tapping into that vein of Americans, largely Republican, who value aggressive, bold schoolyard verbiage over clear-headed, nuanced thinking. Which is probably their main problem with President Obama. They want to forget we tried their approach, and it cost us much blood and treasure in Iraq while contributing to the rise of ISIL.
