Fat Teevee Fathead Simply Does Not Care For Obama’s Names

by Jim Newell

PUBLICITYCheck out what Mitt Romney’s most beloved fluffer and robocaller, cartoon television capitalist Donald Trump, had to say about “weird” names today.

When I was 18, people called me Donald Trump. When he was 18, @BarackObama was Barry Soweto. Weird.

That’s a nice thing to say about someone whose father abandoned him, instead of handing him a New York real estate empire. Anyway, our turn: When Barack Obama was 47, he was elected President of the United States. When Donald Trump was 47, he was bankrupt. Weird. (Not really.)

Ugh. Is there any person more useless than this idiot? I can't wait for his stupid show to get cancelled.

actor212 March 12, 2012 at 3:22 pm

His hair knows he's been cancelled. It's just waiting for the rest of him to catch up.

hagajim March 12, 2012 at 4:43 pm

I'd say about 60% of either Mississippi or Alabama are more useless than this idiot. That being said he prolly ought to live in one of those two states.

nounverb911 March 12, 2012 at 3:19 pm

The Gerbil goes in the other end, Donald.

boobookitteh March 12, 2012 at 3:19 pm

It's "Soetoro". Also.

Chet Kincaid March 12, 2012 at 6:32 pm

I don't think he was "Soetoro" at 18, either, also.

Designer_Rants March 12, 2012 at 3:19 pm

Donald Trump. Weird.

ChernobylSoup March 12, 2012 at 3:20 pm

Still using all that money to buy some class, I see.

nounverb911 March 12, 2012 at 3:21 pm

There isn't that much money in all the world.

dadanarchist March 12, 2012 at 3:29 pm

This calls for Class Default Swaps.

WIDTAP March 12, 2012 at 4:00 pm

Isn't the entire world economy in enough trouble?

elviouslyqueer March 12, 2012 at 3:20 pm

When I was between the ages of 0 and now, I was not an asshole. When Donald Trump was between the ages of 0 and now, he was an asshole. Weird.

nounverb911 March 12, 2012 at 3:21 pm

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

SorosBot March 12, 2012 at 3:21 pm

Nobody cares what you have to say, Donnie.

kissawookiee March 12, 2012 at 3:21 pm

Soweto, Soetoro, South Africa, Indonesia, Kenya, all of the above still = blah, so what's the problem?

dadanarchist March 12, 2012 at 3:21 pm

I'm taking collections to blackbag the Donald and leave him in the middle of Soweto.

ManchuCandidate March 12, 2012 at 3:22 pm

Don't worry Short Fingers. You'll always be known as the Short Fingered Vulgarian to me.

actor212 March 12, 2012 at 3:23 pm

Nicely played, sir. Nicely played.

actor212 March 12, 2012 at 3:22 pm

So Donald Trump is teasing the President because his mother married a second time after his father dumped her?

I wonder how Ivanka feels about this?

iburl March 12, 2012 at 3:26 pm

I wonder if Ivanka feels anything.

actor212 March 12, 2012 at 3:30 pm

Well, when the botox wears off a little…

edgydrifter March 12, 2012 at 3:22 pm

It's spelled "T-R-U-M-P" but it's pronounced "DIPSHIT."
Weird.

anniegetyerfun March 12, 2012 at 5:16 pm

Celtic?

MosesInvests March 13, 2012 at 1:56 am

Actually, it's pronounced "Throat Warbler Mangrove". #MontyPythonTourette's

BarackMyWorld March 12, 2012 at 3:22 pm

When I was 18, people called me Donald Trump.

Only to your face.

Chet Kincaid March 12, 2012 at 6:33 pm

Well-played.

Negropolis March 13, 2012 at 2:16 am

Zing!

Designer_Rants March 12, 2012 at 3:23 pm

Ohhhh. I see what you did there. Back to the birther whispers. Guess someone didn't learn their lesson during the correspondents' dinner.

MaxNeanderthal March 12, 2012 at 3:34 pm

Uh-huh. Way I heard it, Donnie, you had to squeal like a piggie there…
BTW, did you know "trump" is Brit slang for a Bronx cheer… Weird.

fuflans March 12, 2012 at 3:23 pm

gross.

BaldarTFlagass March 12, 2012 at 3:24 pm

When I was 18, people called me a crazy motherfucker. Now they just call me a motherfucker. Weird.

Antispandex March 12, 2012 at 3:24 pm

…and if he makes it to 98, the Donald will NEVER be President…not so wierd.

Callyson March 12, 2012 at 3:24 pm

I've got a few names for Donald Trump:
Moron.
Jackass.
Creep.
Selfish Prick.
Plenty more where that came from…

DCBloom March 12, 2012 at 3:24 pm

The only thing weird in this is that thing on his head.

Mumbletypeg March 12, 2012 at 3:24 pm

Logical fallacy has never seen this much mileage, even though tire after tire gets busted.
Was reading just moments ago a dismembering of Governor Bob McDonnell's recent attempt to paint states w/ Republican governors as having measurably lower unemployment levels compared nationwide.
"Out of the top 10 states that currently boast lowest unemployment, SEVEN are governed by Republicans," he said.
In case you hadn't guessed what I'd like to have asked him next: "How many of the bottom ten states, those w/ the worst unemployment, have Republican governors, Governor?"

Mumbletypeg March 12, 2012 at 3:34 pm

Answer: Six out of Ten (states w/ worst unemployment) = Repubs.

Not to mention, among the applaudingly-ranked Grand Old governors occupying the top ten, three have only held office between 1-2 years (IA, WY, VA) following Democratic governors' occupying their seats between 8- and 12- year stretches of terms.

Lascauxcaveman March 12, 2012 at 4:01 pm

And he forgot to include Right To Work States. Ten out of ten Right To Work states have the highest employment figures.*

(*begging on the streets counts as employment.)

Come here a minute March 12, 2012 at 3:24 pm

When he was 18, Donald Trump was called an asshole. Now Donald Trump is 65, and is still an asshole.

iburl March 12, 2012 at 3:27 pm

Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole.

UW8316154 March 12, 2012 at 3:31 pm

Girls could not resist his stare.

actor212 March 12, 2012 at 3:33 pm

Not in New York

Come here a minute March 12, 2012 at 3:33 pm

He was only five foot three.

KeepFnThatChicken March 12, 2012 at 3:25 pm

Someone let Chuck Grassley know that Donald is still on teevee.

crybabyboehner March 12, 2012 at 3:25 pm

Obama combs his hair. Trump adjusts his toupee. Weird.

SpiderCrab March 12, 2012 at 3:25 pm

Barry is the Ace of Trumps, and you, Donald, are little casino. Weird.

BaldarTFlagass March 12, 2012 at 3:26 pm

"When I was 18, people called me Donald Trump."

Well, as far as you know, Donald.

FlownOver March 12, 2012 at 3:26 pm

There's more than a faint echo of Forrest Gump in this pronouncement – as there should be.

BeccaGo March 12, 2012 at 3:26 pm

When I was 18, people called me Speckles von Schnapps. Because 18-year-olds call each other crazy shit. Weird.

gullywompr March 12, 2012 at 3:28 pm

You know who else was called something different later in life?

MaxNeanderthal March 12, 2012 at 3:36 pm

A tadpole?

actor212 March 12, 2012 at 3:38 pm

Groucho Marx?

SayItWithWookies March 12, 2012 at 3:38 pm

actor212 March 12, 2012 at 3:28 pm

Poor Donald Trump: he's put up billions of dollars in real estate, yet no one ever calls him a developer. He's given millions to charity, yet no one ever calls him a philanthropist. He's written several best-selling "world class" books, yet no one ever calls him an author.

But suck just one cock…

chicken_thief March 12, 2012 at 3:31 pm

What's weird is that The Donald hasn't released the results of the "Hawaiian Birf Cert Investigation".

YouBetcha March 12, 2012 at 3:31 pm

Is this the part where we pretend that our President didn't totally pwn this carcass-haired loser? Or is this the part where we ignore the actual reason The Donald didn't run for President (financial disclosures would result in the world knowing he's broke ass broke)?

actor212 March 12, 2012 at 3:36 pm

That's what he's hoping.

Trump should have kept himself in his little foxhole of the New York City press corps, which will forgive him anything because, you know, he's Trump and he sells papers. Instead, he stuck his helmet up into a real firefight and got….well, new Wonkette rules prohibit me from being detailed, but let's just say he needed a replacement weasel to wear.

smokefilledroommate March 12, 2012 at 3:31 pm

Soweto is a township in South Africa, moron.

Not_So_Much March 12, 2012 at 3:34 pm

Must've been before he became an Oompa-loompa-American.

DaRooster March 12, 2012 at 3:48 pm

Augustus Gloop Libel!!

UW8316154 March 12, 2012 at 3:34 pm

Barry is smart, powerful and has one hot wife; Donald is pasty, bankrupt and has two Stepford wives. Weird.

BarackMyWorld March 12, 2012 at 3:40 pm

Only 2?

RadioStalingrad March 12, 2012 at 3:34 pm

He clearly has a good relationship with the blahs.

LesBontemps March 12, 2012 at 3:36 pm

Soweto? SOWETO? Ignorant douchebag is ignorant. And a douchebag.

anniegetyerfun March 12, 2012 at 5:26 pm

What? They are all furrin sounding names that probably are not white. Tomayto, tomahto, I always say.

Lascauxcaveman March 12, 2012 at 3:36 pm

That’s a nice thing to say about someone whose father abandoned him, instead of handing him a New York real estate empire.

You know what other mean things they call him? President of the United States.
Weird.

Suck it, Donald.

proudgrampa March 12, 2012 at 3:38 pm

The Donald is The Dick.

DaRooster March 12, 2012 at 3:38 pm

When you were 18 did you have that one really long hair all wrapped around your head like that too?

BarackMyWorld March 12, 2012 at 3:38 pm

Here's what I just learned:
Soweto is actually spelled "Soetoro."
Lolo Soetoro has his own wikipedia page.
This claim was already debunked 3 years ago.
Donald Trump is an even bigger idiot than I already thought.

Jus_Wonderin March 12, 2012 at 3:42 pm

I love the perfectly awesome decending stairstep of your posting.

comrad_darkness March 12, 2012 at 3:39 pm

Who put my crazy bigoted uncle in charge of every fucking thing in this country? Seriously.

SayItWithWookies March 12, 2012 at 3:40 pm

Ten years from now Barack Obama will be a respected elder statesman. And ten years from now, Donald Trump will be a noisy, bratty douchebag with a bad comb-over.

OurDailyBread March 12, 2012 at 3:51 pm

And he will still be on TV, but in "Celebrity Rehab" instead.

Jus_Wonderin March 12, 2012 at 3:41 pm

I'd say someone needs to stick their cock in that mouth, but realized it would probably take ten of them.

Exhausted66 March 12, 2012 at 3:41 pm

Your Most Powerful Man in the Free World Envy is showing.

actor212 March 12, 2012 at 3:41 pm

"When I was 18, people called me Donald Trump."

Actually, they called you BossyPants McDaddy's Boy, but who's counting.

smitallica March 12, 2012 at 3:43 pm

Even when he's being a birther fuckwad, he gets it wrong. Seriously, this guy is really just performance art, right?

memzilla March 12, 2012 at 3:45 pm

Oh yes, a man who files for bankruptcy three times, shafting thousands of investors, contractors, vendors, and bond-holders in the process, who can't make money from a place where money is almost literally printed — yeah, this is the guy you want to be taking business and moral advice from.

I do want him to be president, though… of China or Iran.

Neoyorquino March 12, 2012 at 3:46 pm

"When Barack Obama was 47, he was elected President of the United States. When Donald Trump was 47, he was bankrupt."

I haven't used this word since 8th grade, but I will now. BURN!

Chet Kincaid March 12, 2012 at 6:41 pm

FACIAL!

BloviateMe March 12, 2012 at 3:47 pm

Trump really is that noxious fart that seems to linger forever.

Jus_Wonderin March 12, 2012 at 4:12 pm

Light a match.

pinkocommi March 12, 2012 at 4:18 pm

"When I was 18, people called me Donald Trump."

When he was 50, people called him "that asshole with the dead hamster on his head and succession of trophy wives."

MarionNYNY March 12, 2012 at 4:23 pm

Actually, they called him Donald Trump to his face. Behind his back, he was simply known as "that idiot."

Guppy March 12, 2012 at 4:31 pm

Where can I forward my complaints about the "You have (X) PC errors" phishing scam?

anniegetyerfun March 12, 2012 at 5:25 pm

This is actually the happiest I have been in a really long time. I finally had an excuse to throw a twat at Donald Trump. Thanks!

Rotundo_ March 12, 2012 at 6:05 pm

It must be difficult, sinking in the ratings, losing your credibility as an entrepreneur bit by bit and hairline ebbing further and further back. When he loses his relevance as a celebrity as well it will be sad day for Donald. The rest of the universe won't care in the least, but it will be a sad day for Donald. But for the grace of lucky birth, he would have been a used car salesman in Jersey, and would be feeling the same inevitable decline into irrelevance, moving from late models to used cabs. ("It's yellow primer, the good stuff, honest…")

Naked_Bunny March 12, 2012 at 6:21 pm

In 2009, people called Donald Trump "the Donald". In 2009, people called Barack Obama "the President of the United States".

Sassomatic March 12, 2012 at 6:35 pm

Yes, and now they call him Mr. President. And they call you douche-canoe.

Chet Kincaid March 12, 2012 at 6:40 pm

Yes, we know Barry was named "Soweto" at 18, because his high school basketball nickname was "Barry O'Bomber." It all makes perfect sense!

Fuck you, you low-class asshole.

rocktonsam March 12, 2012 at 6:54 pm

learn how to eat pizza, jack ass, asshole ,jerk ass

owhatever March 12, 2012 at 10:00 pm

When Obama was 18, he was intelligent. When Donald the Rich Kid was 18, not so much.

Negropolis March 13, 2012 at 2:14 am

Wait, so now he's South African?

L-O-fuckin'-L! They can't even get their slurs straight. I am actually laughing out loud.

ttommyunger March 13, 2012 at 2:32 pm

Trump, however, still means "Dickwad" in every language.
