7 Days Of Trump

The following occurred over a 7 day period last week.

A couple notes to set this up.

This has been shamelessly pulled from the intro of podcast Keeping It 1600, Episode 23.

Recent polls have Hillary with an 85% chance of winning. I think that’s the only reason this is flirting with funny, instead of terrifying.

It’s still kind of terrifying.

You could attribute 90% of this to liberal bias, or comments out of context and it would still be bananas.

Here goes;

In the last week, Donald Trump has picked a fight with the parents of a war hero, insinuated that said mother didn’t speak at the DNC because she wasn’t allowed to (in truth it’s because she can’t even look at photos of her son), said the same parents were upset because Trump ‘plans to keep terrorists out of the country’, went on to say he did not regret any of these very regrettable comments and… in the same interview, Trump seemed unaware that Putin invaded Ukraine two years ago (or believed it was Russia’s all along).

All this came two days after he asked Russian cyber-terrorists to commit espionage against Hillary Clinton. He also advised American’s to pull their retirement out of the stock market, said that the economy is tanking (not true), and that he “hopes it tanks fast so [he] doesn’t get blamed for it.”

He also went on to say that if his daughter was sexually harassed at work that she should find ‘another career or another company.’

Despite getting multiple deferments from the draft due to bone spurs, he has always wanted a purple heart. He also stated that having one gifted to him by a supporter was “much easier” (is true).

He consistently accuses fire marshals of turning people away from his rallies for “political reasons”, even though his campaign signs off on the exact crowd limit.

He called Hillary Clinton the devil and the founder of ISIS.

He asked one of his foreign policy advisors three times why the united states couldn’t use nukes first if “we wanted to.” (Back in March, when asked about maybe using nuclear weapons, Trump responded “then why are we making them?”).

He didn’t endorse Paul Ryan, despite saying he would (which is maybe the funniest item on a list of scary items). He did the same thing with John McCain, noting John “hasn’t done a good job for vets.”

He also kicked a baby out of his rally for crying and said the “entire election is rigged.”

Trump out.
