I don’t know. I have no love for the guy, but it’s a good answer to anything HuffPo says.

“Mr. Trump has never been a fan of Arianna Huffington or the money-losing Huffington Post.”

“Her money-losing ventures are pocket change. I am the greatest value destroyer God ever created. My money pits are huge. HUGE!”

I read about this on HuffPo just after a pictorial on Taylor Swift’s favorite shoes for the summer.

I would not be surprised if some republicans come out and say they plan to boycott Huffington Post as if they ever read it.

By the time trump drops out of the Presidential run, he will be a lot lot poorer than he was when he started.

Well, I can say that Mr trump had better work on being so very thin skinned because as President one doesn’t get to, or have the time to, respond to every perceived slight with a tweet, a post somewhere or a lawsuit.
As far as Mr Trump making a fool of himself, that’s his act. It gets the RW rubes interested and apparently Trump thinks their support is adequate to get elected.

I’m impressed by the understated letterhead…not a bit of gold to be seen!

A stooge is a stooge is a stooge. And a stooge with a ridiculous combover is a pathetic stooge.

And the GOP’s chances of winning the election will be all but destroyed. The Donald sucks all air out of a room the moment he enters it. His 20 or 21 GOP opponents will suffocate before they can regain any pretense of moderation.

Somewhat fittingly, this item is currently in Newsmax’s “news” feed that appears on TPM’s site:

“This brain pill is the one reason Trump is running for President.”

“Mr. Trump is number one in the unimportant Huffington Post poll, along with all other recently released polls including Reuters, FOX, USA Today/Suffolk University and The Economist,” the statement said.

“Mr Trump has no need of the Huffington Post, or any other inconsequential and ignominious screed to spread his message of hope and deliverance. In fact, Mr. Trump’s inspired “Statement of Principles” will be available shortly in the pamphlet boxes at fine laundromats and car washes all across the country.”

It shows progress that the response is not merely infuriated histrionics.

A good answer? Maybe if Trump is a reddit troll. But as someone running for President, his default answer to any criticism is: “I don’t like them, never did. I make more money than them, always did. I’m #1, you’re a loser.”.

Huge ego trapped in a bag of skin – Nothing else –

Trump is absolutely on a roll – don’t know if he can stay there but I’m not convinced either that that he cannot (which is the conventional wisdom).

In the first debate he needs to toss some red-meat one-liners out without being overly mean or kooky. I think he has people around who can help him with that. He’s number 1 by a real margin now. MSNBC is in the middle of some oddball love fest with him now. He’s got a coalition of middle-class, non-college-educated, Washington haters, celebrity worshippers, curiosity seekers. If he can manage it right, a mix of bombast and reasonableness, he can go pretty far I think. Don’t know if he can handle live attacks well. That we think he’s horrible is only an advantage for him.
