Vanity Fair Editor: Why Donald Trump Will Always Be a “Short-Fingered Vulgarian”
Like so many bullies, Trump has skin of gossamer. He thinks nothing of saying the most hurtful thing about someone else, but when he hears a whisper that runs counter to his own vainglorious self-image, he coils like a caged ferret. Just to drive him a little bit crazy, I took to referring to him as a short-fingered vulgarian in the pages of Spy magazine. That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of himgenerally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers. I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby. The most recent offering arrived earlier this year, before his decision to go after the Republican presidential nomination. Like the other packages, this one included a circled hand and the words, also written in gold Sharpie: See, not so short! I sent the picture back by return mail with a note attached, saying, Actually, quite short. Which I can only assume gave him fits.

The Republican frontrunner boasted of his innate instinct for predicting terrorist threats, Trump told a packed crowd at Tennessees Knoxville Convention Center Monday night.
In my book I predicted terrorism because I can feel it, said Trump, who has made his billions developing casinos and hotels. I can feel it like I feel a good location.

ALSO TO BLAME, not saying the magic words Islamic Extremism or Radical Islam three times then clicking our heels because fighting jihadists isnt enough, we also have to let 1.57 billion almost entirely peaceful Muslims know were on to them.
BOTH TED CRUZ AND JEB BUSH HAVE CALLED for only taking Christian refugees from the Middle East into the United States a standard that would literally require you to reject Jesus.
ITS ALWAYS FUN WHEN Republicans switch from saying theres a war against religious freedom to arguing we really should wage a war on an actual religion.
TED CRUZ HAS CALLED FOR more tolerance for civilian casualties, which marks the first time Ted Cruz has called for more tolerance of anything.
