IMHFO, Trump should get no acknowledgment at all. Want to make his monkeys happy? Let the say "N-(CLANG!)" one day a year. And maybe let Kid Rock and Terrible Ted throw a free concert at the Mall, just once.

And tell Mr. CC he's right, but maybe shouldn't say things like that out loud. Not good for the marriage, in my experience.

"Over the years, I’ve seen many tacky things take place in the wonderful world of real estate..."

"I mean, have you seen my buildings? Tacky. The tackiest."

That actually sounds like good diplomacy to me. I'm just not sure it would work with someone like Trump.

As Trump has zero design and civil engineering skills and his ability to handle money is legendarily bad - not a good idea.

Well, that was brutal.

If Trump weren't such a shithead I'd feel sorry for him. He's blatantly, and painfully, desperate for validation. It's really sad. But, as I said, he's a shithead who deserves whatever bad karma he receives.

Thanks, I only just saw that today. He's a hard man to feel sorry for.

American politics does not play that way. To quote former California Governor Conannegger, the goal of political victory is to "crush your enemies -- See them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!"

After 24 years of wedded bliss, him telling me I'm out of my mind is really nothing surprising to either of us. :-) And happily it works both ways.

'I’m supposed to be at the wedding, Doug,’ said Trump briskly, ‘but I didn’t receive the invitation, and I need to know where to go.’ Can I tell him where to go? Pleeeeeease?

I imagine everyone at Chelsea's wedding spent the entire ceremony scanning the assembled crowd and thinking, "Where's Trump?"

Why is she doing this? It's not like we don't already know Wendy Deng has horrible taste in men.
