Perhaps the best thing about Trump is they befuddled reaction for wingnut conservative types. In many ways he is their worst nightmare realized. This is ironic, since many of these same people deal in racially tinged rants as a career path.
But this is just too perfect:
Donald Trump just held a press conference prior to a speech in Iowa which was – and I say this without exaggeration – the most bizarre thing I have seen in a lifetime of following politics.
As most know by now, Trump threw a Univision reporter out of his press conference.
What follows is comedy gold:
The next reporter’s question, naturally, was, “Why did you have him thrown out?” Amazingly, Trump responded to this question, I’m not kidding, by answering, “I didn’t have him thrown out, you’ll have to ask security, whoever they are.” When reporters pressed him with the obvious fact that the person who had him removed was on his staff (he appeared to be wearing a Trump button even, but I can’t swear to that), he immediately changed his tune to say that it was because the reporter was a “highly emotional person,” with no mention of the fact that 30 seconds earlier he had been denying that he had Ramos thrown out at all.
So Trump had the reporter thrown out, denied he threw him out, and then explained why he threw him out. The audacity of it really is amazing.
Watching Donald Trump speak and answer questions, though, is like watching a billion targets appear in the sky all at once, for a political opponent. Each thing he says is so bizarre, or ill informed, or demonstrably false, or un presidential in tone or character, that it becomes impossible to know which target to lock on to or focus on. And to the extent that he makes a policy statement, it is so hopelessly vague and ludicrous that it’s impossible to know where to begin, at least within the context of the 30-second soundbite that the modern political consumer requires (and chances are, he will say something diametrically opposed to it before the press conference is over anyway).
There is something hysterical in this. After all, it is not like there is a single Republican Candidate that can get through a 3 minute answer without saying something demonstrably false. No, what I think Wolf doesn't like about Trump is that Trump makes the lies obvious. Usually your typical right wing Republican buries all of the outrageous stuff under an avalanche of buillshit.
But Trump: his bullshit is right in front of you. It's the same bullshit, mind you, as the rest of the Republicans.
The bullshit is just more blatant.
And that just scares some right wing pundits to death.
Of course, what is even funnier is that Wolf himself, after being deluged by Trump supporters, had to backtrack this morning and say that Trump was RIGHT in throwing the anchor out.
