Garish Tastes, Awful Hair: Donald Trump Is America (Love him or hate him, 11:00 AM today)
The Daily Beast ^ | 06.16.155:25 AM ET June 16th 2015 | P. J. O'Rourke

The Drumpf Administration?

--

He’s the king of bad taste in a country that loves bad taste. And all the candidates (him included) are pygmies anyway. Go, Donald!

Who are these jacklegs, highbinders, wirepullers, mountebanks, swellheads, buncombe spigots, boodle artists, four-flushers, and animated cuspidors offering themselves as worthy of the nation’s highest office?

Do they take us voters for fools? Of course. But are they also deluded? Are they also insane? Are they under an illusion that they have the qualities to make a good or even adequate president? Do they imagine they possess even one such quality?

Today is the day.

Just learned from the article:

"Trump’s grandfather, a German immigrant, changed the family name from Drumpf to Trump. This was wrong. We could have had Drumpf Tower, Drumpf Taj Mahal, Drumpf Plaza Hotel, and President of the United States Donald Drumpf, heading up the Drumpf administration."

The article is a combination of bash- and promote- Trump, but I like it.

Trump has arrived. He will announce (something) later today. What?

Is it a gigantic promotional gimmick? Or is Donald 100% ready this time, to actually run for the American presidency?

Stay tuned.

11:00. Today

The Donald is a self-promoter. He generated the publicity, and the media will give him the attention he craves.

All politicians are self-promoters.

Just saying.

I get the fact there is a tendency to pile on against Trump, and I understand that completely.

On the other hand, Trump is saying we need to build up America, for a change.

He is so right. And that is a very powerful message.

America has been selling out for an entire generation. Only Trump is saying, we need to rebuild our own country.

I (strongly) agree with him, and I wonder where are all of the other candidates who could be saying the same thing?

Trump is saying we need to build up America.

I completely agree with him. Until someone else stands up with this simple message, I believe Trump will do remarkably well today and in the campaign.

That is, assuming he’s not just involved here, in some silly self-promotion.

11:00 today.

The piece is funny because its true. All comedy is that way which is why liberals are not funny.

“Trump is an over-the-top attention whore.”


As opposed to all politicians...who are just whores.

If Trump says he is depositing upwards to $2B into his self-funded campaign, then I’ll believe he is in it to play and win. I say play as Trump is self-made, not owned by the establishment or others. A breath of fresh air. But, alas, the politics. If Bush III vs. Trump, I’ll take Trump. Same if the match-up is Bush shadow Rubio or the others like corporate failure Fiorina... Now, if it is Cruz, depends on his clarity about illegal aliens, amnesty, and H1B. I’m less liking what I am hearing recently.

Either than, or America has it’s number one promoter, stepping up to the ring.

I tend to think, we are seeing the beginnings of a pro-American movement here in the US.

If Trump is actually going to look out for American businesses over the usual sell-out bunch of nonsense, then I am 100% on his side.

100%.

You see over-the-top attention whore. I see a pro-American movement.

Who knows, maybe he’s both. But he’s for America.

That is something, which all political candidates should be, yet Trump is standing all alone at the moment, saying we need to be for America.

How is that possible?

Trump is an amateur con artist compared to the slime that exists in DC.

Both Dems and Repus are very afraid that Trump is going to tap into a huge vein of national pride, populism and ‘America first attitude’ laid dormant since Ronald Regan left the stage. It is scaring the establishment to death.
