Donald Trump wasn't born in the United States. He was manufactured in Mexico by Mexicans. He's glad there wasn't a wall back then.
The Mexicans paid for it too.

It's not Donald Trump. It's Donald John Trump.
Since his middle name is John, he must be an assassin, just like John Wilkes Booth.

What if someone started a rumor that Donald Trump was born in Kenya? Would his supporters believe it, and say that he was ineligible to run for President?

I have this recurring nightmare where I dream that Donald Trump is running for President and that he is the leading GOP candidate. I wake up screaming, in a cold sweat, but relieved that it was only a dream.
But, it's not a dream...
Can you hear my scream?

Rubio also prepared notes on Trump’s now defunct Trump University, for which the mogul may end up appearing as a witness in court to defend in the middle of the campaign season.
“A fake university!” Rubio, almost surprised at his own success, exclaimed. “There are people who borrow $36,000 to go to Trump university and they’re suing him now. $36,000 to go to a university.”
As Trump tried to respond, Rubio kept riffing on this same theme.
“That’s a fake school,” Rubio said. “And you know what they got, they got to take a picture with a cardboard cutout of Donald Trump. That’s what they got for $36,000.”
Failure Number Three, Trump University:Next, I would like to see Rubio 'turn Terminator' on himself, because I don't like him either:
Trump University, a school offering his insights into getting rich in real estate at three-day seminars, was different from the vitamin company. Trump was a founder and an owner, and he portrayed himself as taking an active role, shaping the curriculum and vetting the instructors.
"My father did it, I did it," went one ad, referring to the fortunes they made in real estate, "and now I'm ready to teach you how to do it."
The closest most students got to the mogul was a life-sized cardboard cutout. A 2013 lawsuit from the New York attorney general and two class actions in California claim the three days of instructions were largely useless, and that students paying $1,495 to attend were misled. Worse, students at the seminars were told to max out their credit cards to pay tens of thousands dollars more for additional "Elite" training that, the lawsuits claim, was also largely unhelpful.
"I wasted my entire life savings on Trump," said former Trump University student Nelly Cunningham in an affidavit for the New York case. She added, "I feel like such a fool."

"I’m always audited by the IRS, which I think is very unfair. I don’t know whether it’s maybe because of
religion or because of something else, maybe because I’m doing this. Well maybe because of the fact that I’m a strong Christian and I feel strongly about it, so maybe there’s a bias." - Donald Trump
Because Jesus was a strong billionaire who felt strongly about it too.

Donald Trump is running for President. He has no government experience at all.
Would Donald Trump the CEO hire someone who has no experience and no qualifications at all to work for him?
Would Donald Trump the CEO hire an accountant with no accounting experience?

For every suburban Republican who loves tax cuts and the National Review there are a half-dozen of the people you see at a Trump rally. No matter how many times Republican elected officials and opinion leaders have tried to convince themselves otherwise, these people do not give one shit about Conservative Values or the principle of small government. They're angry and they've been convinced that government is to blame. That is about the extent to which they have opinions that could be called "political." The rest is simply nativism, the politics of blood. They just hate everyone different. It sounds like I'm oversimplifying that to insult them, but unfortunately that's all there is to it. They hate the gays, the liberals, the environmentalists and their "science", the Pope, the Jews, the blacks, the Mexicans, the Mormons, the young, the poor, and anything remotely "foreign" or unfamiliar (including, from the looks of his crowds, fruit and occasional exercise)...Anger and hate do not provide rational and reasoned solutions. Usually, anger and hate simply produce more anger and hate.

What really scares me about Donald Trump is the fact that so many Americans want him to be president. Whether Trump wins or loses, these people remain. They are our neighbors and fellow citizens, and they are angry, and, in my opinion, absolutely bonkers.

When the lights suddenly went out during a Donald Trump rally in Atlanta on Sunday, the Republican frontrunner gave us a glimpse of what the race for the GOP nomination may look like if no one catches up to him.
The lights go off, and it's better?The real estate mogul tried to turn the situation with the lights into a teachable moment.
“We save on electricity, right? And because the lights don’t work, I won’t pay the rent — so, better lighting, and we don’t pay the rent. That’s the way we have to negotiate for our country … the lights go off, it’s better. We say we want the lights. Oh, it’s terrible, we take a big deduction off the rent because the lights are off, but it’s actually better. It’s the kind of sick thinking we really need for our country.

Imagine Donald Trump as a black man, not a white man. Imagine Donald Trump running for president as a Black Panther, not as a Republican. Imagine that this imaginary Donald Trump spouted the same rhetoric as the real Donald Trump. Now imagine Donald Trump as dead, because if he were a black man running for president as a Black Panther he would be dead by now, especially if he carried a gun.
Killing of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark:
In Chicago, on December 4, 1969, two Panthers were killed when the Chicago Police raided the home of Panther leader Fred Hampton. The raid had been orchestrated by the police in conjunction with the FBI. Hampton was shot and killed, as was Panther guard Mark Clark. A federal investigation reported that only one shot was fired by the Panthers, and police fired at least 80 shots. Hampton was subsequently shot twice in the head at point blank range while unconscious. He was 21 years old and unarmed at the time of his death. Coroner reports show that Hampton was drugged with a powerful barbiturate that night and all indicators point toward FBI infiltrator William O'Neal as the source of the drugging. Former FBI agent Wesley Swearingen asserts that the Bureau was guilty of a "plot to murder" the Panthers. Cook County State's Attorney Edward Hanrahan, his assistant and eight Chicago police officers were indicted by a federal grand jury over the raid, but the charges were later dismissed. In 1979 civil action, Hampton's family won $1.85 million from the city of Chicago in a wrongful death settlement.Trump's closing SC argument: kill 'em all:
I have been writing Trump's torture and summary execution endorsements constantly since he first said it last fall. He is crazed on the subject. The mainstream press noted it in passing but didn't seem to see it as anything unusual.
They are taking note of it more lately since he is getting increasingly bloodthirsty and outrageous when he discusses it. But it's nothing new. This is about his last rally in South Carolina:
Trump repeated – favorably – an apparent myth about how General John Pershing summarily executed dozens of Muslim prisoners in the Philippines with tainted ammunition during a guerilla war against the occupying United States.
“He took fifty bullets, and he dipped them in pig’s blood,” Trump said. “And he had his men load his rifles and he lined up the fifty people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the fiftieth person he said ‘You go back to your people and you tell them what happened.’ And for 25 years there wasn’t a problem, okay?”
The story appears to be a hoax spread via e-mail forwards, according to rumor tracker Snopes.com, with no evidence it occurred.
The moral of the tale, according to Trump: “We better start getting tough and we better start getting vigilant, and we better start using our heads or we’re not gonna have a country, folks.”
Trump was unimpressed with waterboarding, a banned interrogation tactic that he has pledged to bring back against suspected terrorists, and supplement with far worse forms of abuse.
“Is it torture or not? It’s so borderline,” he said. “It’s like minimal, minimal, minimal torture.”
In a previous speech, Trump called his opponent Senator Ted Cruz, whose father was tortured as a young man in Cuba, a “pu**y” for not sharing his zeal for the practice.
Trump went on to boast how fears of terrorism had boosted him politically, including in South Carolina where he leads a number of polls by double-digit margins.
“When Paris happened, everyone started saying, ‘We want Trump!’” he said. “The polls came in, 60 percent, 70 percent, 72 percent. This is 72 percent with 17 people running. Now we’re down to 6, we got rid of all these people. It’s so great. It’s so great.”
[...]
Trump’s speech was a hit with the audience, which cheered throughout.
Trump supporter Eleanor Crume, 72, told MSNBC afterwards that she agreed with Trump’s stance on waterboarding because terrorists should not be “pampered.”
“We need someone who can lead the country because people are scared to death,” she said. “It’s only a matter of time before terrorists come and start chopping Christian heads off in the United States.”
South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Henry McMaster, Trump’s most prominent endorser in the state, set the tone for the event before Trump came on.
“How many of you feel real safe right now?”
“Nooooooooo!” the audience droned in response.
“We’re gonna change that,” he replied.
In law, hate speech is any speech, gesture or conduct, writing, or display which is forbidden because it may incite violence...
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) states that "any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law".
Scalia explicated the fighting words exception as follows: “The reason why fighting words are categorically excluded from the protection of the First Amendment is not that their content communicates any particular idea, but that their content embodies a particularly intolerable (and socially unnecessary) mode of expressing whatever idea the speaker wishes to convey”. Because the hate speech ordinance was not concerned with the mode of expression, but with the content of expression, it was a violation of the freedom of speech. Thus, the Supreme Court embraced the idea that hate speech is permissible unless it will lead to imminent hate violence.Is Donald Trump guilty of inciting imminent hate violence?

Analysis: Pope shines spotlight on GOP minority challenges:
Pope Francis on Thursday shined an international spotlight on the intra-party debate when, asked about Trump's call to build a massive wall on the U.S.-Mexican border, he said those who seek to build walls instead of bridges are not Christian.
Yet their day on the trail was overshadowed by Pope Francis' extraordinary reply to a question about Trump and his focus on building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border to stem illegal immigration. "I say only that this man is not Christian if he has said things like that," Francis said.The pope probably thinks that he is shaming Donald Trump. I think that he is giving Trump a compliment. This does not mean that I support Trump's wall, however.

NEWSFLASH- Donald Trump strangles and eats a puppy in Church and gains more voters:
Donald Trump is greater than, well, everything it seems. He is even greater than our own morality! He is even greater than America!
Would I be wrong in even saying he thinks he is greater than Jesus, Mary, Joseph, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, the 3 Stooges and Mickie Mouse all rolled into one?
OK, has the big @!$%# of Assholiness finally jumped the political shark? What does it really say about how Don views his supporters when he says he can shoot someone with lots of witnesses around and still not lose one vote?
I mean he already said Iowa voters were dumb for supporting another candidate. We all know that anyone who is not Donald Trump is a loser because they are not Donald. it is simple, Donald Trump is a god, able to create and leap over the highest hyperbole, more powerful than the Blizzard of 2016, able to swim in pure sewage and then coming out clean as a whistle.

I know it's been awhile, but do you remember when Donald Trump didn't participate in the last Republican debate because Megyn Kelly scares him? Do you remember that he supposedly raised millions for injured vets? If you follow the money, do you know what you will find?
Trump’s New Pro-Veterans Website Directs All Donations To Trump’s Personal Foundation:
After ducking the final Republican presidential debate heading into next week’s Iowa caucuses, GOP front-runner Donald Trump announced that he would hold his own pro-veterans event during the debate to raise money for veterans. Trump even set up a special website to solicit donations to help veterans."Trump’s New Pro-Veterans Website Directs All Donations To Trump’s Personal Foundation" is on thefederalist.com. I don't know if they can be trusted since they do seem to be biased. Time will tell, I suppose.
“Honor their valor,” the website, donaldtrumpforvets.com, states. “Donate now to help our Veterans.”
The website, which is nothing more than a single page with stock photos and a credit card donation form, claims that “100% of your donations will go directly to Veterans needs.”
There’s only one problem: 100% of the money raised on the site goes directly to Donald Trump’s personal non-profit foundation, according to a disclosure listed at the bottom of the page.
