Soi Disant Genius won't be President-world markets rocket up

 

Can there be anymore delicious finale to Deadbeat Donald's ill-advised adventure into politics than the resounding repudiation publicly being even now delivered by the world's captains of finance assembled/

 

That, more or less, is what is underway as the "Trump relief rally" is on it's second day snapping a whip-wave around the world.

 

It began in Asia at 8 pm EST, probably as the punditry pondered and pronounced re: "Comey stands down".

Trump: "My lie insults your intelligence? A feature, not a bug"

 

Ever since Deadbeat Donald advanced his demonstrably bullshit evasions around his  "Megan was on the rag" tweet I have puzzled over how to understand his followers willingness eagerness to believe palpable, flaming, lies.

 

In a recent instance where a Trump follower emulates the maestro, purporting to ask us to believe that "Jew-Ess-A "chanted with vigorous hostility at a Trump rally press pen was NOT meant in any way to refer to Jewish people.  You really must read the article to fully appreciate his chutzpah.

Trump: My Mosul sneak attack advice was correct, because "cloaking"!

When the steaming entrails of his slaughtered campaign are fully sorted through, I really hope that Trump's remarkably stupid critiques of the pending Mosul operation stand out as causing every US veteran to vote against him and every Republican on the ticket (on grounds of contagious stupidity...)

Can we have Michelle after Hillary? (It would help with the Bernie-Sads....)

 

If we eat our meat, as it were, may we have the pudding?

 

Michelle Obama has been setting off fireworks for a while, as far as I've been concerned, but it is painfully evident that the former first lady president we really need is Mrs. Obama

Help Wanted: GoFundMe sponsor.."Pay Trump victims' penalties"

 

I solicit herewith a civic minded troublemaker who would like to be sued by Donald Trump.

 

Your assignment, should you accept it:

 

To open a GoFundMe campaign the goal of which would be to raise cash to hold harmless any Trump victims who have settled their lawsuits under a nondisclosure clause.  

 

Likewise, to indemnify any harm that might befall a person who is bound by one of his odious "Non disparagement" clauses.

the fall of a great house

It could turn out to be a mistake if one has skeletons in ones closet to invite scrutiny of the same.

 

Notwithstanding his gargantuan appetite for publicity Donald Trump may have, through his  profound vanity, underestimatedthe criminal and financial exposures accumulated in 30 years of playing fast and loose.
