Trump gets in...

Thank God. This is very good for the Republican party and very good for America.

Rockin' in the free world!

The clown car just isn't complete without a wig wearing bozo.

President Trump would be worth it just for the cabinet meetings. "You're fired!"

I can't wait for him to say (thinking Steven Segal or Arnold S. catch-phrase style) "time to play my trump card."

Trump is an idiot in some ways. Including politically.

It's getting tougher and tougher to take American politics seriously. The rest of the world is laughing at you.

And when something goes wrong they come begging Americans to make it right.......

Irrelevant.

You look ridiculous.

A former boss of mine worked for Trump and he said that Trump always structured his business deals so that you took all of the risk, while Trump got the profits. It'll be interesting to see if anyone digs up what his con is in running for president.

A CNN commentator said "The Donald threw his hair into the ring."

Quite a bit more stupid, actually.

They can't be laughing if they are also crying over our atrocious civil rights abuses. BOOYA!

HA! ISWYDT

Only in some ways?

He seems pretty gifted in making money and self promotion.

You do realize he initially inherited most of money, right?

When is the Shamwow guy going to announce?

You're gonna love my nuts.

His press conferences would be arduous: "are you gettin' this camera guy? Zoom in on this!"

He's filed for bankruptcy at least once, and most of the things you see that are named after him, aren't owned by him at all. He just licenses his name to the hotel/casino.

Not so fast, ya smarmy pirate:


Neil Young to Trump: Stay Away From My Song
He objects to 'Rockin' in the Free World' during campaign announcement

Asshole didn't even listen to the lyrics.

Republicans: "What's mine is mine; what's yours is mine."

I haven't been paying much attention to this. Here's the full list of candidates on Wikipedia:

Send in the clowns

Trump is mostly in the business of selling the Trump name. So I'd say there's probably no scam, just an effort to raise the value of the Trump™ brand.

Well, I'd consider entering the Presidential race with no real intention of actually taking the job if you get the nomination to be a con, but to be precise, he's not the kind of guy to take a high profile action just to "raise his brand," he's got a specific reason for choosing this method to get more attention to himself. The question is: What is it?

I think it's probably just something he sees as a particularly fun way of keeping his name in the public eye. He probably fantasizes about being President, even though he knows he can't win, and running is something he can easily afford and is part of the fantasy. Even beyond fantasy fulfilment, he adores having the press cover his political statements. I also do think he'd accept the nomination if he gets it, even though that's not the point of his campaign.

Reminds me of Reagan and "Born In the USA" and "Pink Houses".
