He smears himself with something orange. Which is pretty darn weird. Is it supposed to be a tan or something to hide a condition? He isn’t a dummy, why does he look like this?

Politico? Politico? A rabid liberal left wing website is promulgating this crap? Nonsense! Where were these hypocrites with “hope and change?” Pure unadulterated crap. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.

the commentariat keeps ripping into him like a bandsaw, but the punches don’t seem to land.

Trump does not have a Teflon coat....nor Kelvar

He has the verbal equivalent of Reactive Armor

That is; his reply is instantaneous, massive, on target and devastating

followed up by more of the same.

I’m a Ted guy, but when a WaPo derivative publication like Politico trashes Trump, IT MAKES ME LIKE HIM *MORE*.

Fact is Donald Trump is a brilliant strategist. There is a reason he is one of the most successful businessmen in the nation. He understands the value he brings to the news stations with higher viewership and is an excellent negotiator so he gets to choose which shows he is willing to bring his audience to...the news stations love it because those shows do well in ratings. It is a smart, symbiotic relationship. It is also a lesson for the nation, especially the people that these politicians do not need to sell their souls to the PAC’s, Unions, and lobbyists to get advertising time. This is the kind of intelligence and expertise we need running our nation.
