Donald Trump: Magnificent Bastard
Scot Adams Blog ^ | 04/20/2011 | Scott Adams

Posted on 04/22/2011 8:01:16 AM PDT by PSYCHO-FREEP

It has come to my attention that there are still a few people in the world that I have not offended. I'd like to fix that by endorsing Donald Trump for president. But not for the reasons you might think.

This morning I read a news item saying that some folks at NBC think Trump might be pretending to run for president to boost ratings. The story noted that ratings for his TV show are up 20% lately. I laughed out loud because sometimes I forget that at least half the country doesn't realize he's just screwing with the media.

The magnificent part of this whole thing is that he's putting no effort whatsoever into concealing his prank. That's what I love about the guy. He knows that no level of clownery in a field of clowns will single him out as the one clown that doesn't really mean it.

Take Trump's recent empathy with the so-called birthers. That's the most brilliant part of his plan. It's a dead giveaway that he's just screwing with the media, and it has the added benefit of concentrating most of their attention on that one trivial issue. He doesn't even need to study up on the other issues. While Romney is writing position papers, Trump is golfing.

If you are not a student of practical jokes, you might not know they have a specific formula. A proper practical joke is more than a surprise or a lie. The magic part of the prank formula involves leaving enormous clues that are obvious to everyone but the target of the prank.

Here is a new angle of what Trump is up to. I fully agree with the author. Trumps is playing with the Media. Especially Klauthhammer, Malkin, and all the pundits.

But I might add, he is also doing this to get Obama out of office the best way possible. So, sit back, throw some Jiffy Pop into the Microwave, and enjoy the show, it should be fun.........

More like a Machiavellian Bastard. He isn’t to be trusted.

If you are sitting on top of the world with billions of dollars, an enomous company and a top rated TV show, you only have one way to go for more power - president of the United States of America. I think his ego dictates that this is the ultimate goal and he will get there if possible.

The country is definitely ready for someone like the Trumpster.

I think he is harmless. He is just out to get Obama. If he gets into the race, he won't stay in very long.

Trump is a Populist. He has nailed the sentiment of the General Public and his Populist rhetoric is resonating across the land.

Perhaps, it’s simply that he doesn’t like half white gays.

I doubt it. He will stay in, lose the Republican Primary and run as an independent. He will lose to Obama or a Republican. He doesn’t care jack about Obama or anything except the Donald. He doesn’t even care if he loses the election.

I’m not that cynical. I believe Trump truly cares about his country. He has learned a good lesson on what Liberalism does to a Capitalist society. He has been burned and learned the hard way.

I predict that eventually someone with a some small bit of conscience left within the Donalds inner circle will come out and tell the truth about the Donald. Or maybe he/she will do it for the money.

Yet another RomneyBOT post by you, which
you claim you agree with.

The author says,
"While Romney is writing position papers,
Trump is golfing."

BS.

The fact is that while Trump was criticizing
Obama, Romney was defending him.

Compare and Contrast:

Chihuahua Romney - the Self-Declared King of Tea-Party:
”My lawyers say Obama was born in the United States,
and that Obama doesn’t need a Birth Certificate (like me!!!!!), and that
all citizenship tests have been passed by Obama.".

Trump doesn't care. The country has degraded itself to this low level and Trump will prosper from the hype. It is what America has become; Shock Journalism, Reality TV, Face Book, American Idol and our Hero's have become criminals, hookers, porn stars and Pawn Shop crooks.

Get real dude, Romneybot? ROFLMBO! I absolutely hate Romney, I always have. If the author slips in a little tripe, you blame me?

Seriously, you are going off the deep end in your quest to destroy everything Romney, and I am definitely not it!

One thing for sure - Trump is the greatest stimulus the political cartoon industry has ever had!

In trying to portray Trump as some kind of genius, the author fails to understand the real meaning of intelligence.

Intelligence is no more than the pursuit of truth and the ability to discern it. So the ability to discern truth is not equivalent with the ability to fool others.

In fact, the ability to fool others—known as the pursuit of falsehood—is the opposite of intelligence. Observe the typical leftist.

On top of this, this Trump-trickery theory only reminds us that Trump and anyone allied with him cannot be trusted.

And another thing. The question of whether or not Obama was born in the United States is in no way a test of intelligence.
