      I don’t. I think campaigning, rallies, and fundraiser dinners are actually his favorite things to do that arent golf. It’s people paying to stroke his ego. It’s a narcissist’s wildest dream. He just doesn’t like facing the consequences of his actions over the past 8 years.

        I’m on the side that he never intended to win at all and he just wanted to get in the spotlight to have some followers to sell gold sprayed products to. Now he’s in way too deep and can’t dig his way out. Tough tits.

    “You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself.

        When you think of it, so many of them are immigrants. They don’t belong in our suburbs. They don’t belong in our homes. They should go back to the desert where they belong. But no, instead they’re pricking us with their thorns and I shudder to think what they’re doing to our pets and the wildlife.

          Amen brother! A real American like President Trump shouldn’t be shoving Mexican plants like cacti up his ass. He should be fucking himself with the most American thing of all: the barrel of a semi-automatic rifle.

    Well boo-friggin-hoo! Nobody’s holding a gun to his head and forcing him to run. His legal problems are 100% his own damn fault, and he’s putting the whole country up for sale to the highest bidder in order to evade restitution. I eagerly await the day when I never have to hear about this blowhard moron ever again.

    Hold the fuck on.

    Plea deals? Does he not realize that a Plea Deal means you admit guilt, in this case become a felon and do the arranged time?

    He’s upset because he hasn’t gotten plea deals? Why would someone innocent be impatient for plea deals?

    I have a feeling the quiet part might be something like this:

    “… but I need to run to avoid prison.”

    I really, really hope that this is a sign that Donnie is genuinely worried that he’ll end up in prison.

    “We don’t want this for our country,” he said of Democratic policies. “That’s why I’m doing this. I don’t like doing this.”

    Donald Trump on running for president: ‘I don’t like doing this’

    Which one is it?

    I’m sick of words being twisted for clicks and narrative enforcement. It’s clear, as this article has quoted him, that he’s doesn’t like what Democratic policies have done to the country and that he needs to run for president to fix them. He is not saying he doesn’t want to be president.

    I’m tired of the lack of reading comprehension among grown adults across this increasingly stupid country.

    Can we please vote this fucker out of relevancy so we can get back to human progress?

      I’m a firm believer that all presidential candidates should have to release not only their birth certificates but more importantly their long-form birth video like Obama did at the Press dinner
