Witless Ape Rides Escalator [Trump]
National Review ^ | June 16, 2015 | Kevin D. Williamson

Posted on 06/16/2015 1:50:28 PM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

Donald Trump may be the man America needs. Having been through four bankruptcies, the ridiculous buffoon with the worst taste since Caligula is uniquely positioned to lead the most indebted organization in the history of the human race.

The Trump conglomerate is the Argentina of limited-liability companies,having been in bankruptcy as recently as 2009. To be sure,a lot of companies went bankrupt around then. The Trump gang went bankrupt in 2004,too,and in 2001. Before that, Trump was in bankruptcy court back in 1991 when his Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City—the nation’s first casino-cum-strip-club, an aesthetic crime against humanity that is tacky by the standards of Atlantic City—turned out to be such a loser that Trump could not make his debt payments.

The closing of that casino has been announced at least twice—it was supposed to shut its doors in December, but it limps on.

Donald Trump, being Donald Trump, announced his candidacy at Trump Plaza,making a weird grand entrance via escalator—going down, of course,the symbolism of which is lost on that witless ape. But who could witness that scene—the self-made man who started with nothing but a modest portfolio of 27,000 New York City properties acquired by his millionaire slumlord father, barely out of his latest bankruptcy and possibly headed for another one as the casino/jiggle-joint bearing his name sinks into the filthy mire of the one U.S. city that makes Las Vegas look respectable, a reality-television grotesque with his plastic-surgery-disaster wife, grunting like a baboon about our country’s “brand” and his own vast wealth—and not see the peerless sign of our times?

On the substance, Trump is—how to put it gently? Oh, why bother!—an ass. Not just an ass, but an ass of exceptionally intense asininity........

I suspect Trump is an atheist.

The author needs to let his venom out in smaller doses while more logically arranging his thoughts. Spitting it all out at once like this without taking more time to logically explain it soaks up the whole page and makes it tough to follow.

He’s a blowhard. Too bad because at least he has forcefulness.

It seems like long about this time in 2011 you were pimping Rick Perry for President like a Saturday night hooker. This go around its Cruz. Maybe you should have stuck with Perry. :-)

I just enjoyed listening to Rush read Williamson’s article aloud mocking it as he went. I’m still laughing.

He creates “news” out of thin air, they love him.

Serious conservatives don’t like him.

That is the impression I got too. Williamson certainly has her panties in a knot over Trump.

Watch the reactions of some FReepers as well. Very illuminating.

Where is that Thread Monitor badge we keep around here? Seems you’ve earned it.

LOL..I remember that, too. Seems to be *heartless* for Perry, now.

Ross Perot really screwed up the country and indirectly gave us ALL the things he was ranting and raving about.

If he hadn’t shown up, we wouldn’t have gotten Slick Willie and the every-quickening slide of the country into oblivion.

More freepers should go back and read these posts to see how msm and “conservative” media behaved back then and how good their prognostications were and see how ordinary Americans do know how to vote

I see some of those posters kind of slithered away after the election
