He welcomes them on, one by one. And as they are just about to leave the station, a woman runs up to one of her friends who got on the train. She tried to warn him but he was too stubborn to listen. He was determined to "Make America Great Again." And she holds a book above her head and yells "IT'S A COOKBOOK!" Trump's goon squad pushes her away, and the Donald glares at her as the doors close and the train departs.
Because, you know, Americans can be great, but if you overcook them, like any other meat, they can become tough, stringy, and lose flavor. And because of Trump's phenomenal success with "Trump Steaks," they could taste great again if people only knew how to store, marinate, and prepare them.
That was my dream last night.
Or...WAS...it...a...DREAM?

(16,423 posts)Look at his campaign. This guy is running for President, for fuck's sake, and he thinks he can run a low-cost campaign with free media and the power of his charisma.
Trump doesn't think he needs to raise money.
Trump thinks he doesn't need polling-data and ground-game.
Trump doesn't even realize that he's antagonizing people and that we live in an era where every lie gets recorded and can come back to bite you. ("Never said that. Your word against mine." - "Oh, we have you on tape saying that."
And when it all comes crushing down, whose fault will it be?
Trump has detached himself from his own campaign.
He is not putting his own money on the line. He only puts it on the line as loans to the RNC.
When something goes wrong, will he blame the guy in charge: Himself?
No.
Trump will blame the RNC, Trump will blame election- and voter-fraud, Trump will blame his incompetent staff.
Trump already knows he will likely lose the Trump U-case and he preemptively blames it on a biased judge.
In the end, Trump will leave ruins behind and walk away unscathed.

(6,537 posts)"To Serve Man" is episode 89 of the anthology series The Twilight Zone.[1][2][3] It originally aired on March 2, 1962 on CBS.
The story is based on the 1950 short story "To Serve Man", written by Damon Knight.[4] The title is a play on the verb serve, which has a dual meaning of "to assist" and "to provide as a meal." The episode is one of the few instances in the series wherein an actor breaks the fourth wall and addresses the viewing audience at the episode's end. The episode, along with the line, "It's a cookbook!," have become elements in pop culture.
