Trump wants Michael Savage to run National Institute of Health...

Calling it "common sense."

And Savage in that vein would put Mercola in charge of cancer research, Wakefield in charge of vaccines, and his chiropracter in charge of orthopedics.

Donald Trump Says America Would Have "Common Sense" If Far-Right Host Michael Savage Headed NIH

Donald Trump told right-wing radio host Michael Savage there would be "common sense" if Trump appointed him head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as president. Savage has called autism "a fraud, a racket," said PTSD and depression sufferers are "losers," advised people not to get flu shots because you can't trust the government, theorized liberals have been driven insane because of seltzer bubbles, claimed President Obama was intentionally trying "to infect the nation with Ebola," and once told a caller he was a "sodomite" who should "get AIDS and die."

his poll #s are flat, needs to juice things up a bit with some Conservative Contraversy, pulls Savage's name out of a hat
if elected, he'd have much better people lined up for the job. "The best people, people so good they'll make your head spin." etc.

then again, all the GOP candidates seem like trolls to me

He's making a joke out of the entire primary process, and nobody has the balls to say he's full of shit.

Trump is probably chortling at the spinelessness of the entire republican party establishment.

But then again, I could be wrong. After all, I am a "liberal" and therefore insane because of seltzer bubbles (Whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean).

This really sounds like it was written by Andy Kaufman or the Coen Brothers in one of their darker, more brutally cynical moods (think Burn After Reading).
