Donald Trump Uses Term ‘Joke Candidate’ Without Referring To Self

by Kirsten Boyd Johnson  

Et tu, douchebag? The media seems to be reporting again that pissy jaundiced toddler Donald Trump has “announced” he is still considering a presidential bid as an independent, a thing he has been doing every couple of weeks ever since he dropped out of the Republican race in order to keep his awful teevee show. Why have the droll rantings of a vile charlatan once more been plucked from the ocean of political background noise to become “headline worthy?” Ha ha, the answer to that is probably a depressing doctoral thesis on American media, but for the moment let’s just say it’s because Donald Trump, cheap talking wig stand, is bizarrely accusing Ron Paul of being a “joke candidate” for possessing enough dignity to refuse to participate in Trump’s joke Republican debate.

There’s also a nice bit of tragicomedy in the idea that most of the GOP field is stacked sloppy with dupes who are so desperate that they would allow a potential rival third-party candidate to leverage a free commercial for himself as the mocking moderator of yet another one of their pointless debates, but any rate here is Donald Trump’s yammering on Fox and Friends via the Hill as he so earnestly works to fill the Herman Cain comedy void:

“Ron Paul’s not going to win. He’s got no chance…. He’s a joke candidate.

Here’s a man who doesn’t care if Iran has a nuclear weapon that can wipe out Israel. He doesn’t care. He says ‘Let them do whatever they want. They can make their own nuclear weapons’.

It’s ridiculous, so he’s not going to win, he’s not going anywhere, he’s cutesy, he’s got some nice, little slogans.”

So Ron Paul will not get Donald Trump’s endorsement! Which is good for Ron Paul, since today’s NBC News/Marist poll shows that a Trump endorsement is more likely to make Americans hate you more than ever. [The Hill]

"It’s ridiculous, so he’s not going to win, he’s not going anywhere, he’s cutesy, he’s got some nice, little slogans.”

Just like you but sans the nice slogans then Donald?

The last time such a gathering of intellect occurred in this country was when Thomas Jefferson's horse dined alone.

You sure the gathering of intellect wasn't shoveled out of the stable the next day by one of Jeffersons stable hands (slaves)?

Crowe2011 December 5, 2011 at 4:38 pm

'Show us the birth certificate' is kind of a slogan, albeit a bit more 'lynchey' than 'cutesy'.

user-of-owls December 5, 2011 at 2:30 pm

Oh that's rich.

Tundra Grifter December 5, 2011 at 3:49 pm

But classy. Very, very classy.

Newt is meeting with Donald right now. What an Algonquin round table that must be.

Not_So_Much December 5, 2011 at 2:34 pm

Is there an over/under on how many strippers new wife candidates are in attendance?

dadanarchist December 5, 2011 at 3:00 pm

"Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows – marriage does."

I'm sure both Newt and the Hair can testify to that fact.

I'm kind of worried about their meeting. Those two massive egos that close together may exceed some sort of critical mass of drama and self-attention generation.

Geminisunmars December 5, 2011 at 3:12 pm

Some kind of time-warp-continuum thingy could erupt.

Or, the Knights of the Mystic Sea.

he’s not going anywhere, he’s cutesy, he’s got some nice, little slogans
All of which can be summarized for The Donald:
You're fired!

Chillwaver December 5, 2011 at 2:32 pm

Pot, meet Kettle. I do like the fact that he's going to piss off a lot of Paultards, thought.

user-of-owls December 5, 2011 at 2:35 pm

Pot, meet Kettle.

Wouldn't Herman have to be in the mix somewhere for that saying to work?

snackypants December 5, 2011 at 2:38 pm

Hell hath no fury like a Paultard scorned.

GOPCrusher December 5, 2011 at 2:44 pm

I think they're glad that someone mentioned Ron Paul.

SorosBot December 5, 2011 at 2:58 pm

I loved how they would descend on the comments here in 2008 whenever there was a post on Mr. Paul; it looks like they're all too lazy to register for IntenseDebate this time around there. There are other blogs where any mention of him still draws them like a moth to a flame.

Terry December 5, 2011 at 3:02 pm

They certainly do have the free time to undertake campaigns of internet posting.

Generation[redacted] December 5, 2011 at 2:51 pm

Release the Kraken Blimp!

bagofmice December 5, 2011 at 3:07 pm

I think it's safe to say that Ron can rise above Trump. Because that's how blimps work. This is basic physics people.

James Michael Curley December 5, 2011 at 3:36 pm

Lot of Doritos going to go down!

OneDollarJuana December 5, 2011 at 4:33 pm

cletar December 5, 2011 at 6:12 pm

Ooooh. Scary.

PalinzADummy December 5, 2011 at 6:15 pm

Me too. Those guyz do not mess. I made a relatively innocuous comment about their Dear Leader in some forum recently, and was hounded for DAYZ. I'm hoping Donald earned himself a year of Libertarianutards screaming and crying outside his penthouse door.

horsedreamer_1 December 5, 2011 at 6:53 pm

Going into Starbucks just now, saw a Toyota Rav4 with a Galt-Reardon 2012 sticker. If any car deserves the IRA treatment, it's that.

memzilla December 5, 2011 at 2:33 pm

"…Donald Trump has “announced” he is still considering a presidential bid…"

Donald Trump has “announced” he is still considering selling another reality show whose existing episodes have garnered zero syndication interest from teevee stations, and selling more books which will be immediately remaindered and pulped, and selling more courses at a "university" whose first incarnation has been sued into oblivion by the NYS Dept. of Education, and selling more real estate deals which have a long history of bankrupting investors and pauperizing vendors.

Yes, the Founding Fathers would heartily approve of yet another regressive Rethuglican wingtard using the sanctity of the highest office in the land for nothing more substantive than a merchandising campaign.

Palin. Trump. Gingrich. Cain. Have all been motivated not by a desire to serve, not by a desire to lead, not by a desire to unite the country, not by a desire to inspire the national discourse, but simply a desire to grift, and grift more, and continue to grift, in a national spotlight provided free of charge by the media.

If your sole desire is to grift, and get free traction for your grifting, you don't need ideas that make sense, you just need a publicist.

Sorry for ranting the obvious — wait! no I'm not!

Terry December 5, 2011 at 3:03 pm

"Palin. Trump. Romney. Gingrich. Cain. Bachmann. Have all been motivated not by a desire to serve, not by a desire to lead, not by a desire to unite the country, not by a desire to inspire the national discourse, but simply a desire to grift, and grift more, and continue to grift, in a national spotlight provided free of charge by the media. "

Which makes them fine and apt representatives of the GOP.

swordfis December 5, 2011 at 3:41 pm

How do you have the psychic energy to be coherent about them? The mandrill in me just wants to fling shit.

emmelemm December 5, 2011 at 4:55 pm

Exactly. Memz is absolutely right, though. Well put!

PalinzADummy December 5, 2011 at 6:16 pm

Eventually, even a mandrill runs out of shit to fling, yaknow?

starfanglednut December 5, 2011 at 3:45 pm

Truer words, memz, truer words.

Amen, Mem!

As evil war dwarf Henry Kissinger said about the Iran-Iraq war, the only regret is that one of them must lose.

Rotundo_ December 5, 2011 at 4:35 pm

As I once said of a relatives cat, you oughta neuter the bastard twice considering his attitude. That would apply here as well.

PalinzADummy December 5, 2011 at 6:20 pm

ALL cats have attitude. It's what makes them so desirable as pets for people who hate the very notion of pettery. (Ask me, I have four, and they're ALL complete assholes.)

flamingpdog December 5, 2011 at 3:13 pm

Just as well that Hermie has dropped outta the race then. He might get really confused when Drew yells, "Come on down!"
"Hey, that's my line, Drew-baby!"

Geminisunmars December 5, 2011 at 3:19 pm

When is Drew Carey going to join the GOP lineup as a candidate. He has just as much credibility as what they have now.

Jukesgrrl December 5, 2011 at 5:20 pm

It would have considerably more dignity than The Donald's version.

hebmskebm December 5, 2011 at 2:34 pm

One thing nobody has brought up about the Trump debate is that it's being broadcast on fucking ION TV! I guess the day of the debate they'll be taking a break from their normal programming of airing shitty, nauseating infomercials and Walker Texas Ranger reruns to instead airing, oh wait…

ShitFilledExistence December 5, 2011 at 2:36 pm

I'll say it again– Average ION viewer: "Is this uh, gonna cut into Mama's Family?"

Biel_ze_Bubba December 5, 2011 at 3:05 pm

"taking a break from their normal programming of airing shitty, nauseating infomercials"

Not really.

Pragmatist2 December 5, 2011 at 2:34 pm

Self-reference was unnecessary. The Donald is always talking about himself.

DaRooster December 5, 2011 at 2:34 pm

"…he’s cutesy, he’s got some nice, little slogans.”

"… and a Helluva calendar… but heck, it takes like 100 of his eyebrows to make up one of these things I have on my head… whatever it is."

Isn't he due for another bankruptcy?

Biel_ze_Bubba December 5, 2011 at 3:07 pm

flamingpdog December 5, 2011 at 3:15 pm

How many bankruptcies has he endured, not counting his perpetual moral one?

Geminisunmars December 5, 2011 at 3:21 pm

Yeah and they're combed over his entire head.

prommie December 5, 2011 at 3:06 pm

Trump is fun because he is a gigantic dumbfuck, but he is too dumb to know what a giant dumbfuck he is. As a result, he doesn't feel it necessary to think about or edit what he says, he just blurts out whatever idiocy occurs to him, and there is idiocy occurring to him all the time.

SayItWithWookies December 5, 2011 at 3:33 pm

So he and Newt are both men of ideas, then.

prommie December 5, 2011 at 3:46 pm

Thats exactly what I was trying to say.

PalinzADummy December 5, 2011 at 9:16 pm

Well, I'm not so sure about the men part.

Or, come to think of it, the ideas part, either.

But other than that, we're in complete agreement.

Negropolis December 6, 2011 at 12:51 am

You've just described every robber-baron, ever. It's not that they are dumb (though some of them are), but that they completely lack empathy and don't care about a single thing they do or say.

Dumbedup December 5, 2011 at 3:07 pm

Every now and then it's good to remember that this crew of maniacs and imposters, the bunch of them; Bachman, Gingrich, Perry, Trump etc. are actually vying to run the country, this is not some spectacularly bad reality TV series ginned up to provide background for our collective oxycontin nod, but is in fact real: these freaks and mental dwarves are serious. If you took a handful of acid 10 years ago and never came down you couldn't make this shit up.

It sometimes makes me wonder if maybe there is a God, and He's got these assholes cued-up for some comic relief. He's probably wetting His pants while crying with laughter.

Oh, I guess I'll continue to eat mushrooms, and, uh, other things.

a Trump endorsement is more likely to make Americans hate you more than ever.

Close. Trump's endorsement is the gift that keeps on giving, like a scorching case of venereal warts.

Tundra Grifter December 5, 2011 at 3:52 pm

A recent New Hampshire poll showed Republicans were twice as likely to not like a candidate Mr. Trump endorsed as they are to support one he ignored.

Boy, did that fact set him off over at MSNBC.

Thanks a LOT, eq. I NEVER want to have sex again, with ANYthing, now.

When I think of Donald, I think of Jamie Lee Curtis' lines directed at Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda: Otto West: Don't call me stupid.
Wanda: Oh, right! To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people! I've known sheep that could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs. But you think you're an intellectual, don't you, ape?
Otto West: Apes don't read philosophy.
Wanda: Yes they do, Otto. They just don't understand it. Now let me correct you on a couple of things, OK? Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not "Every man for himself." And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked them up.

Totally OT, but had to share: a genius Alaskan hops in his truck and drives off to find out "how far north" a road he's never been on will take him — in a snowstorm . He avoided a Darwin award only by eating his frozen beer.

The peculiar thing is, there are still Alaskans alive to continue these wretched experiments.

Honestly, the best part about that is that he was eating frozen Coors Light, a light "beer" whose marketing campaign has since time immemorial hinged on the fact that, when you refrigerate it, it is then cold.

Which is of course still better than Bud Light, whose recent slogan translates as, "It's fit for human consumption."

not that Dewey December 6, 2011 at 8:50 am

I think you're overstating Bud Light's claim. "Drinkable" doesn't imply that it's fit for consumption. Just that it can be poured down the throat. By that standard, anti-freeze and toluene are also "drinkable".

Biel_ze_Bubba December 6, 2011 at 10:22 pm

I hope he had the new Coors Light, which tells you when it's really fucking cold.

I'm proud of my thick, full head of hair. Lemme tell ya if my parents had tried that on me, I would have shut up right quick and behaved. NOBODY wants to end up looking like Teh Donald, not if they have any choice about it.

SayItWithWookies December 5, 2011 at 3:38 pm

Holy shit — the idea factory at work: Trump and Newt want to start an apprentice program for poor, inner-city youth. Slogan, "Mop harder!"

“We need to work very hard to help poor children in poor neighborhoods acquire opportunities to work and I have asked him to take one of the poorer schools in new york and basically offer at least ten apprenticeships to kids from that school to get them into the world of work and get them into an opportunity to earn money and get them into the habit of showing up and realizing that effort gets rewarded and that America is all about the work ethic.”

Sure, why teach kids how to learn when you can add to the labor pool and make them miserable and beaten down instead? Fuck Newt and Donald both.

starfanglednut December 5, 2011 at 3:56 pm

Recess is socialism!!

elviouslyqueer December 5, 2011 at 3:59 pm

Shoot, just send the budding slaves poor "urban" kids "apprentices" down to Alabama. Lord knows those crops aren't going to pick themselves.

chascates December 5, 2011 at 4:26 pm

After the summit today, Gignrich and Trump announced a joint plan to select 10 “apprenti,” as Trump put it (the actual plural of “apprentice” is “apprentices”) from New York City’s schools to work for the reality TV star. “It was Newt’s idea and I thought it was a great idea,” Trump said at a joint press conference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RSDDRgUYYQ&fe...

If any advanced civilization has been paying attention to this planet I really doubt they'd care to contact us.

Somebody needs to tell these egomaniacal bastards that the children of the poor are not their personal slaves to do with as they wish. What a pair of turds!

Negropolis December 6, 2011 at 1:05 am

I am really getting tired of this. What bothers me is that there does need to be more vocational training. One of the biggest mistakes this nation has made with in primary schooling is telling every kid that they should go to college. Belive it or not, there is shit that needs to be made, and people shouldn't feel like failures for wanting to work with their hands. Too often, we treat VERY valuable jobs as fallback jobs, something that you have to fail and drop out of college or high school to get. That devalues the prestige of these jobs.

But, the thing that drives me crazy is that they promote this shit out of a cynical need to make poor people their slaves. It also assumes the lie that poor people (read: black and brow people) are inherently lazy. It just drives me fucking crazy. It's racist, it's cynical, and it cheapens a nugget of a good idea stuck in the pile of shit.

"Stubby-fingered." That sounds just as vulgarian as Trump.

Tundra Grifter December 5, 2011 at 3:50 pm

Donald Chump has a new book out today. Over on Amazon, there are already nine 5- and 4-star reviews.

Eight from people who haven't posted on Amazon before today.

I guess Ole Newt's Twitter followers are also speed readers!

Or is this the work of Lou Sarah and her tribe?

Fukui_sanYesOta December 5, 2011 at 4:14 pm

I am and Author myself, a Business Man, hold two PhD's and a J.D, and have been involved in politics in one form or another and found that Trumps read on Obama, and what Obama has done to this Nation, is dead-on.

Trump has performed and outstanding job bringing the Obama/Liberal/Progressive/Democrat Record/Agenda to light and I am sorry that Liberal/Progressive/Democrats don't like there own record.

Might want to sue Cracker Jack for those multiple degrees.

Although I must confess that that particular fellow's turn of phrase borders on … memorable.

owhatever December 5, 2011 at 3:51 pm

The Donald: Do you have a scandal in your past that might harm your candidacy? I personally have a whole bunch, but the Republican boneheads will never notice. I could buy and sell all of you.

The Newt: Just as Count von Bleiber owned a few slaves, all of us, even Jesus, occasionally did shameful things that the biased liberal media, as they did in 1823, can take out of context, being ignorant of the Ninth and Fifteenth Amendments, thus propelling the minor event like the Great Coal Miners Strike in Cardiff in 1914 into a Roman Catholic-Mormon bicycle.

DahBoner December 5, 2011 at 5:28 pm

It comes as no surprise to this reporter that Ole Newt was the first candidate to say "Yes." The vanity candidate will go anywhere to speak to a crowd of one or more.

It would be hilarious if he's the only one to agree – he and Donald Chump could spend an hour interrupting each other.

Redhead December 5, 2011 at 4:01 pm

Trump just said that Bill Ayers wrote Obama's first book — people have told him. And then he's having a pillow fight with Rove, because Rove allowed the End of Bush/Cheney to fall apart. What? I guess anything to sell a stupid book.

PalinzADummy December 5, 2011 at 11:54 pm

That would certainly explain why the style and turn of phrase is so very similar to all of Obama's previous and subsequent writings. Clearly, Bill Ayers is VERY underworked.

We had a freak snowstorm today — no school, daddy didn't have to go to work. The snow was too dry to make snowmen, so we just ate some instead. My office mate had a couple saucer sleds; we drove up to the golf course and sledded until our feet fell off.

I'm going to risk my curmudgeon street cred here and admit that they are VERY huggable when they're Li'l Suzie's age. They're so affectionate and uninhibited, and there is nothing sweeter than an armful of squealing little girl. I envy you, having such a wonderful little inspiration around. I used to take my best friend's daughter on walks and to the park while her Mom worked (from home), and she was a sweet, affectionate child, very huggy, and immensely entertaining. I think it's that grave air they have at that age. They take everything so very seriously, and are full of these strange and wonderful insights. Almost makes you wonder if they're channeling some sort of cosmic consciousness. I'm going to cherish the mental image of you and Li'l Suzie eating dry snow.

gurukalehuru December 6, 2011 at 8:28 am
