This isn’t strategic. This is a narcissist striking back at an enemy (Obama’s remarks must have cut him real deep). Avenging his ego is vastly more important to him than running an effective campaign.

Rather than focus on real journalists, I think it’s time to put the feet of cable newscasters and producers to the fire. They created the Trump-as-mythical-viable-candidate-character from whole cloth. They still, today, air hour after hour of interviews and panel discussions featuring dishonest, vapid, disingenuous…
This has gone beyond “not liking” the guy.
Summarizing the reasons provided above for why this makes sense as “not liking him” is reductive bullshit. Those are facts, not feelings.
My work had dealings with Trump in the early 2000's and I dug as deep into any files I could access for dirt knowing that I would be fired if caught. Nothing I found wasn’t already public, but if I’d found something incriminating I would happy lose my job if that is what it took to stop him.
The false equivalency of calling Hillary as bad as Trump drives me nuts.
Donald Trump was disqualified for the presidency the moment he started running for it (arguably that was the moment he first picked up the birther torch). But I don’t think I can remember a presidential candidate ever having a worse week, not in my 28 years, anyway.
“He got one over on duh IRS, huh huh”
Anybody else finding themselves sighing frequently, not enjoying things, like ice cream, as much, constantly feeling on the verge of unexpected violent tears? Anyone else get queasy when they turn on the news, cynical when they open their Facebook and wary when strangers start talking in a doctor’s waiting room that…
My second biggest pet peeve about presidential elections applied to both parties: I will never ever understand the idea that unless you personally want to have someone over for a beer/dinner party/whathaveyou, that person is not going to make a good president. I don’t give a flying fuck if I’d be pals with the…
(this is not directed at you specifically, just more of general rant about this stupid argument)
For those curious about the brother/sister/brother reference in the statement. From David Arquette on Kocktails with Khloe:
P.S. Thank you for your 18 years of hard work on behalf of the kiddos.
As the parent of a munchkin with pretty severe cognitive impairment, I 100% agree. I’m a nonviolent person but I have a strange Mama Bear urge to beat the shit out of this monster.
Most of u know that I have been a special needs teacher/administrator for nearly 18 years, the only job I have ever known. Excuse me now, there is a huge lump in my throat and I’m sobbing as I write this. Of the hundreds of children with special needs that I have worked with, I can tell you that every single one of…
That’s...deep, man.
Neither were the Kardashians until they were surgically enhanced!
Olympia Dukakis is my spirit animal.
The same people who paid attention to the Kardashians all these years likely handed Trump the Republican nomination.
