Donald Trump Has Just Gotten More Than 24 Hours of Free, Non-Damaging Publicity for Using One Word

Here is a quick sampling of popular site (two political, one entertainment) headlines from tonight:

These aren't all of the ones in my feed tonight, three is enough to give you the idea of the theme. Bear in mind that this is all more than 24 hours after his comment.

Depending on which non-Trump ideological and emotional ground you've staked out this primary season, these Trump media episodes are either interminably frustrating, extraordinarily pathetic, or exceedingly amusing. I embrace both of the latter two choices as I always find the modern-day media pathetic and am quite amused by the way Trump stirs them up like mindless brine shrimp in a jar of water. Again, I am not a Trump fan as far as the election goes, but this is very entertaining.

It is rather stunning to see the media still getting that "We've got him this time!" attitude whenever Trump says something that one doesn't normally hear from a politician. They then spend an entire news cycle talking about him, all the while Jeb! Bush jumps up and down in the corner yelling, "GUYS, I'm over here!"

Trump embraces the attention, doubles down on whatever he said, and drives his Republican and Democrat detractors that much closer to needing a year in a rehab facility.

As someone who long ago grew weary of the MSM playing gotcha politics with Republicans, it is kind of fun seeing them never get him.

From the beginning, I've maintained that attention seekers like Trump fear only one thing: being ignored.

If you're talking about him all the time and hoping your words are doing some damage, well, you're just going to keep getting...

you know.

It’s funny when one considers that everyone in politics knows Hillary has the filthiest mouth out there. She is one vulgar and nasty tempered bitch.

So her (and their) righteous indignation for schlong is quite amusing.

That is a very good way of putting it. When Crosby Stills and Nash sing about a "shotgun in the skies turning into butterflies" over Woodstock, did it really happen? Of course not. It's a FREAKIN' SONG.

Trump again and again hits the truth---that there were American Muslims celebrating in NJ---regardless of whether the specific detail (i.e., whether he personally saw "thousands") is correct. All in all, dozens of people saw hundreds of Muslims (= "thousands"), but more important, the truth of the charge is undisputed, namely that American Muslims in large numbers celebrated a horrific attack on America.

Whether or not "schlonged" is a vulgar or not vulgar term, it is TRUE. Hillary was screwed by Obama and cheated out of her "rightful" nomination.

Illegal immigrants were raping. That's not even debatable.

So when these Medidiots try to attack the specifics of the claim, they have already lost because . . .

THEY THEMSELVES set the bar at the "seriousness of the charge" with the allegations against Clarence Thomas 20 years ago.

You’d think the media should figure out that Trump is playing them and simply ignore him a bit.

But THEY CANNOT HELP THEMSELVES.

Actually It' quite the opposite. Trump takes what they say about him and beats the hell out them of with it!

BIG BUMP to THAT !!

“I understood what he meant. I have heard the term used as a description of a male member, but never as a verb.”

Definitely sounds better than, “He got Johnsoned.”

[DaveA37]

He could have used the “F” word and gotten away with it since that seems to be part of the today’s vocabulary. I am surprised its not in the written media. Many of our young people think that the “F” word is an appropriate word for every conversation, I DO NOT.

I have been married to the same girl for 56 years and have NEVER, repeat NEVER used that word in her or any other woman’s presence. Not being from New York, I never even heard the term “Schlonged” before Trump used it. Guess I have led a sheltered life.

[Cobra64]

Does anyone know if “schlonged” is different from “schtumpted.”

How silly that liberals are clutching their pearls and pretending to be horrified by Trump’s supposed vulgarity.

Liberals revel in vulgarity. They pass around articles on social media gleefully claiming that highly intelligent people (themselves) tend to be the biggest users of profanity.

They made the F word mainstream. Hillary is the queen of potty mouths.

[MayflowerMadam]

Didn’t the Washington Post use the exact word in reference to Hillary in ‘08?

[MayflowerMadam]

‘’he made her “husband” a liability and reminded everyone she blew it before.’’

Well, someone names Clinton definitely “blew” it.

[BridgeOutAhead]

Totally agree!

Trump not only has his fingers on the pulse of America he IS the pulse of America right now!

[BridgeOutAhead]

And by repeating these “terrible” things Trump is saying his attacks get magnified 100 fold!! LOL

The media/Dems/Clinton are fish hooked on the end of Trump’s line! And he isn’t even paying for the bait, pole or boat he’s in!!!! Bwaaaa haaaa haaaaa haaaaaaa!!

“Ohhh myyyy I may feint over what Trump said today ohhhh myyyyy heaven forfend..!!!!”

This is so good I almost can’t stand it and I almost hope it never ends!!

[kaehurowing]

I love how Trump is schlonging around with the media.

[plain talk]

It’s funny when one considers that everyone in politics knows Hillary has the filthiest mouth out there. She is one vulgar and nasty tempered bitch.

Yep. That's why this is an opening for The Donald to bring up Hillary's known vulgarity and put her on the defensive

[Balding_Eagle]

Hillary will be ridden like a cheap mule by Trump and all America will be yelling for him to put the whip to her and dig in his spurs and run her to death.

That was great.

[RipSawyer]

Hillary’s entire “career” is a monument to drek.

[Vermont Lt]

As I said, I did not find it offensive. Honest to God, I was just curious. I had never heard it used that way.

[Bon mots]

Schlonged!
