Yell a little louder, please!
Donald Trump: For late-night comedians and liberals eager to roll their eyes at wingnut Republicans, he’s the gift that keeps on giving. Yesterday, the plastic-haired mogul took to Fox News to slam Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s much-hyped remark that Republicans have “got to stop being the stupid party.” Apparently, Trump took umbrage at such a show of disloyalty. (Ignore the fact that the tax-slashing, parochial-school-supporting Jindal is as dyed-in-the-wool conservative as they come.)
Of course, after declaring that the term “stupid” was “a disgrace and he shouldn’t have used it,” Trump proceeded to call Jindal . . . stupid.
He was stupid for using that term. Because that term is so obnoxious, and so good for the other side, he should not have used that term.
Perhaps Trump’s real outrage stemmed from the full Jindal quotation:
We’ve got to stop being the stupid party. It’s time for a new Republican Party that talks like adults. We had a number of Republicans damage the brand this year with offensive and bizarre comments. I’m here to say we’ve had enough of that.
Offensive and bizarre comments? Like, oh . . . let’s see. To the Trump Twitter feed!
I want to see @BarackObama’s college records to see how he listed his place of birth in the application.
Giving the GOP nominee some great advice:
In debate, @MittRomney should ask Obama why autobiography states “born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia.
On the Today Show, ranting to Meredith Viera:
I am saying I want to see the birth certificate. It’s very simple. I want to see the birth certificate. How come his own family doesn’t know which hospital he was born in? I have people that have been studying it and they cannot believe what they’re finding.
After Obama’s victory in November:
This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!
We can’t let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!
On the Jack Welch conspiracy theory of the manipulated unemployment rate:
I don’t believe the number and neither do any of the other people that have intelligence. They did . . . a lot of monkey business.
To file under “generally offensive”:
All of the women on ‘The Apprentice’ flirted with me — consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.
You know, it really doesn’t matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.
Yes, how dare other Republicans — Todd “Legitimate Rape” Akin, et al. — horn in on Trump’s “offensive and bizarre” beat. He’s already trademarked “Success” (Eau de Toilette, $62 at Macy’s). Can bottled versions of “Offensive” and “Bizarre” be far behind?
. . . So Well Read. . .
