Witless Ape Rides Escalator [Trump]
National Review ^ | June 16, 2015 | Kevin D. Williamson

Posted on 06/16/2015 1:50:28 PM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

Donald Trump may be the man America needs. Having been through four bankruptcies, the ridiculous buffoon with the worst taste since Caligula is uniquely positioned to lead the most indebted organization in the history of the human race.

The Trump conglomerate is the Argentina of limited-liability companies,having been in bankruptcy as recently as 2009. To be sure,a lot of companies went bankrupt around then. The Trump gang went bankrupt in 2004,too,and in 2001. Before that, Trump was in bankruptcy court back in 1991 when his Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City—the nation’s first casino-cum-strip-club, an aesthetic crime against humanity that is tacky by the standards of Atlantic City—turned out to be such a loser that Trump could not make his debt payments.

The closing of that casino has been announced at least twice—it was supposed to shut its doors in December, but it limps on.

Donald Trump, being Donald Trump, announced his candidacy at Trump Plaza,making a weird grand entrance via escalator—going down, of course,the symbolism of which is lost on that witless ape. But who could witness that scene—the self-made man who started with nothing but a modest portfolio of 27,000 New York City properties acquired by his millionaire slumlord father, barely out of his latest bankruptcy and possibly headed for another one as the casino/jiggle-joint bearing his name sinks into the filthy mire of the one U.S. city that makes Las Vegas look respectable, a reality-television grotesque with his plastic-surgery-disaster wife, grunting like a baboon about our country’s “brand” and his own vast wealth—and not see the peerless sign of our times?

On the substance, Trump is—how to put it gently? Oh, why bother!—an ass. Not just an ass, but an ass of exceptionally intense asininity........

Donald's working an angle - must think he can push through a few deals before walking away from the primary misery that he plans to create.

I'M BACK!

Wonder what the reaction would be if Obama had been described as a “fill in the blank” ape.

Hand grenade with a bad haircut. Paul Shanklin’s parodies of Perot were some of his best work...

Splendid!

Excellent article by Williams! He drew blood with essentially every paragraph.

“...If we’re going to have a billionaire dope running for the presidency, I prefer Ross Perot...”

Wry smile at that one. Learned my lesson though.

0bama isn’t an ape. He doesn’t rise to that level ... chimpanzees and orangutans are insulted by the comparison. He’s a wretched little flea-infested spider monkey sitting witlessly in a tree picking his nose and defecating on passers-by.

Trump may be a silly candidate, but it’s a disgusting article. Goes on about the AC casino that “bears his name” but I think the author knows Trump has had no role in that casino for many years.

Good point.

Hey, where are the “If he’s taking flak....” posters?

Having watched the speech today by Trump at least he could get the others talking about the real stuff like overseas jobs and such. Rino’s and libs are all foaming at the mouth already over him. Makes me want to root for him when they’re sniffing haughtily.

Another epic pronouncement by that hugh and series RINO publication The National Review. I’m still laughing. At Kevin Williamson.

Who on FR still thinks The National Review is the go to for conservatives?

The article is from National Review, not from the liberal media.

One foolproof way to determine how much the establishment hates someone is how quickly the long knives come out. In this case it was just a few short hours.

National Review is the magazine of the GOP establishment.
