He's still traumatized from that time he had to buy hair-spray in a pump bottle.

I think he talks that way because he spent quite a few years involved with WWE (mostly as a venue, but he had fun with it). They're all about Faces and Heels, about putting on The Show. If you watch his campaign and think of it as a Heel-to-Face story arc, it might make more sense.

Just yesterday, I think it was the WaPo that posted an article suggesting that Trump is pure American... just like some of the characters Huck Finn and Jim meet on the river.

My wife and I had the exact same thought: the Dauphin, who will be recognized as the last descendent of the King of France, except that Dauphin Trump will be King of the Untied States! And his crown will be YUUUGEE, with gold and diamonds!

While I get what you're saying, I submit it isn't necessarily bizarre for a person to transition to match their own self image.

which is basically what Trump was saying....he wanted to threaten the guy soo badly, we wanted sooo badly to have the guy who doesn't agree with him leave the arena ( or wherever he was speaking his bullshit) on a stretcher.

Trump says it about being political correct, he just wants to break the law like to good old days when the law only applied to Conservative White Rich Males.

also protester dude should call Trump out on ASSAULT...because you know, you know it's what Trump would do if the roles were reverse ( well threaten he would do it and then never do it)

You're one of the few who can actually say that!

There's an account by Eva Braun's sister, it's in a Polish history book, where she says Eva related to her that Adolph never had intercourse with her, that he would have her squat over him with her buttcheeks splayed as he masturbated. I don't wanna kink shame Hitler, but maybe this gives you some insight?

Come on down to Poland! It's not too late to catch a good ol' fashioned Jew effigy-burnin'! This picture was in my town just in November.

Trump's campaign theme song should be Dennis Leary's "I'm an Asshole".

Figured someone would call me out on this. (As is your right)

I admit I am an old caveman at heart, and there are still things I don't fully understand :(

I've been repeatedly horrified about this horseshit.

I try to see it as an interesting time to be alive, but on the other hand there's an ancient curse. Some say it's Chinese, others Hebrew.

"May you live in Interesting Times"

Definitely curse this time around.
