Good news for Donald Trump.

[JohnnyRingo]

Now that his name has become more a synonym for racism than hotels, thanks to Whoopie, O'Donnell, and finally Trump's own mouth, he'll at last be able to come out and wear the robe in public. The blessing in disguise is that hood will end his embarrassing hair problem.

I know it isn't real good news for him, but I think it's as good as it's gonna get.

For Trump to keep pushing his chips into the kitty in a seemingly endless series of bluffs until he had his whole empire on the table is a sign of his arrogance. That he went all in and was called holding a ten high indicates how stupid he is.

What's really sad was that the payoff would be so very little for him to gamble everything he had.
Did I say sad? ...Fuck him.

3. You have no idea what the payoff will be

Trump has managed to get the President to jump through a hoop in front of the whole world, the same way he makes those silly attention whores on his "Apprentice" shows do things to humiliate themselves for credibility from Trump himself.

I'm sure every Repuke is laughing his ass off tonight, because someone as crass and as insubstantial as Donald Trump managed to make President Obama sink to be a puppet in Trump's "Punch and Judy" show. You know the old saying, "Never mud wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides the pig likes it."

For Trump, the payoff would be for Barack Obama to lose the election because he got down in the ditch with Trump, and in the bargain, the leading Repuke candidates availed themselves of the opportunity to distance themselves from the birthers just before the certificate came out. Also, when you're a non-serious character like Trump, no publicity is bad publicity.

4. Disagree.

They just hung themselves on their own rope. And a movement has begun to have corporations pull their ads from NBC during his show. When you do something that leads to a cut off the revenue (see Glen BecKKK), then you WILL go bye bye.

6. Indeed, I'm certain NBC had an emergency meeting today.

On one side of the room was the money, and on the other was association with someone who was circling the drain. I can't pretend to know whether the pile of money or the pile of shit balanced out, but I can't see an upside for the network.

They milked their cash from the man, and there's a line of producers with ideas for reality shows leading out the waiting room door. if nothing else, Trump has poisoned his show for at least the 30% that are hard line democrats, and now he's added people of color to the recently disinterested list. No one can convince me there's a possible upside to this for him or the network.

Obama came out today and said: "Donald, you're fired".

8. Ok, so you're telling me

that Trump and the people with the money don't have a common goal of seeing the end of Barack Obama's presidency?

Any meeting was just for show. For every advertiser Trump and NBC lose from companies with progressive leanings, he'll gain two from the other side, especially since they don't have Glenn Beck to fund anymore. As for milking, you've confused the cow and the dairy farmer. Trump was getting (and will continue to get) the big bucks from the advertisers. He's the P. T. Barnum of our era.

5. "The president jumped through a hoop for Donald; Obama sank

to be a puppet in Trumps Punch and Judy show ? so you say..mud wrerstling with pigs? Bullshit, the only people who might think that are members of the crazy crowd (like you?) who would like it to be so. Obama saw a public problem with a conniving liar called Donald Trump and he took care of the problem.

9. Is it crazy of me

to think that the President should have remained standing on the high ground? No sane individual seriously doubted that he was born in Hawaii, now Trump has been encouraged to pursue the grades thing. Since there was a payoff on the birther nonsense, the media will gladly give Trump all the coverage he needs for this issue, too.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but Donald Trump is a master manipulator. He got a President to stoop to his level today.
