Air Melber MSNBC news flash...

from the new book. "The Moron never wanted to be president". DUH! We all knew that. I did anyway and I am not a rocket scientist. It was a publicity stunt to make him more rich (his brand) and an ego trip. We all saw the look on his face when he won. Shock, disbelief, "Oh Shit", etc. He knew it would be far too much work for him and he didn't want the responsibility. Even my dog could see this.

OK DUers, were any of you ever taking him SERIOUSLY?

I had to pick my jaw up off the floor so I could mouth, "What the hell?" That was probably in unison to millions of other people watching the returns.

Black Lives Matter. At that point, he had the support of ignorant white wing racists. And they showed up on November 8th.

All his life everything he's ever done was publicize himself and his "brand". Once in a while something worked, like the Central Park skating rink, and he rode it forever but usually it was something embarrassing, like yet another business failure.

He didn't care-- anything to get your name in the papers.

New York "society" and the "real" real estate people in the city never took him seriously, and he wanted their acceptance. He wanted to be invited to the right parties and to get the respect he thought he deserved.

Now he's in a position to get it, and he has no idea what to do about it.

as stooge for the right wing's Holy Trio's , the Koch Bros, Mercers, and Rupert Murdoch. Their combined immense wealth bought off Congress to pass the tax reform.

since it is the single reason that they sold our country to an enemy. Greedy TRAITORS! I want all of The Moron's assets AND Ivanka's and Jared's seized as well. Jail and no money like Bernie Madoff.
