All this time, I thought Donald Trump was so crafty... [View all]

and that he was cleverly playing this role to appeal to his base, but he was this intelligent business man. I bought into the whole 'crazy like a fox' thing about him.

He is an idiot. How in the living hell has he made so much money??

His handlers have to be mainlining Maalox. He is STILL talking about the Khan thing. He can't let it go. This is day three of something that should never have gotten off the ground. A smart politician, when asked about the Khan's statements, would have said, "I deeply respect the sacrifices of the Khan's and their son and have tremendous sympathy for their pain and how it has made them feel." OR something. But not "They won't let her talk because she is a Muslim and he has no right to say mean things about me." And then to KEEP saying it!! How fucking stupid can he be??

This is like a gift. I told my kids the first grandkid is getting name Khizr.
