Trump should give a Presidential Medal of Freedom to Jon Rineman. That should seal the humiliation pretty thoroughly.

Um, this guy is giving himself way too much credit. Trump talked about running for President in the 1980s.

I think it was the night Obama roasted him from the dias at the White House Correspondents Association dinner. All the lefty a-holes are laughing and Trump is visibly seething.

Loser is full of himself. It was Obama taunting him and being the worst President in US history.

“””“On that night, Trump’s own sense of public humiliation became so overwhelming that he decided, perhaps at first UNCONSCIOUSLY, that he would, somehow, get his own back “””

Don’t you just hate it when you make decisions while unconscious?

Chris Wallace spoke to Trump at a Republican convention in 1988 and Trump said he would have a good chance of winning if he ran.

What a stretch. A crier in search of a burden to feign bearing.

But reading the comments at the article is downright spooky. Note to self: stay far, far away from Boston, MA.

If true, it wasn’t the first time the course of history was shaped by some petty insult or trivial event. Roman history is replete with petty incidents that put armies on the march, fleets to sail and proscription lists to be published.

Meyers didn’t write that joke. Comedian Jon Rineman did — and he regrets it

Sorry bud, what has been said can not be unsaid. We should thank you though, for Trump 2016 and Trump 2020 .

Trump ran for President because Seth Myers delivered a snarky Alan Rineman punchline about him?

Long years earlier, Trump TOLD Oprah he was going to run for President one day.

They always find a weak premise to insert themselves as the cause into every historical event that doesn’t involve them.

Trump has many influencing moments.

Per his unauthorized biography,

Young Trump and his father were sitting with the architect who designed the Verazanno Narrows Bridge. It was the Grand Opening ceremony and the Mayor of New York City, The governors of New York and New Jersey were present for the ceremony.

Not once did they mention the architect’s name during the ceremony. He was furious.

This so impacted 21 year old Trump that he decided to put his name on everything he built.
