538: Harry Enten and Nate Silver are not having it with this Trump event

Harry:
I'm watching Molly Dodd, and you suckers are watching an infomercial.

Nate:
2016 👏 WILL 👏 KEEP 👏 GETTING 👏 STUPIDER

Today's a good day for the "Trump's ambivalent about whether he actually wants to be president" crowd.

You may be right. I think Trump is more surprised than anyone that it's taking this long. randome Sep 2016 #3

Trump knows he will lose so he's setting it up to blame his 'unfair' treatment by the media.

Instead of making a fortune with Trump TV and his fellow septuagenarian horn dog Roger Ailes, he's running the risk of being stuck with a $450k/yr. job with the whole world up his ass every day.

Time to get seriously destructive here.
