Gee - I wonder who could have come up with a nickname like "Candyman?"

Doesn't this reek of Trump stink...?

The nickname sounds like it came from a Trump tweet.

Not sure the motive...Obama vendetta?

Did Trump really like him - or did he think he was douche and set him up to be destroyed?

Or is he setting up these Dems with salacious-sounding stuff? Only to have it wash out...?

Was a song sung in the 1960's by Sammy Davis Jr. "Candyman" was referring to a drug dealer. The recent events did not give rise to the term. "...'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good."

the Wisconsin VA: Doctors at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs medical center in Tomah, Wis., hand out so many narcotic painkillers that some veterans have taken to calling the place "Candy Land."

They call the hospital's chief of staff, psychiatrist Dr. David Houlihan, "the Candy Man."
