I'm not going to watch the video can someone summarize the hubbub?

Because People in power are Stupid: I'm not going to watch the video can someone summarize the hubbub?

Trump: I can tie a knot in a cherry stem
I can tell you about Leif Ericson
I know all the words to "De Colores"
And "I'm proud to be an American"
Me and my friend saw a platypus
Me and my friend made a comic book
And guess how long it took
I can do anything that I want cause, look

I can keep rhythm with no metronome
No metronome
No metronome

And I can see your face on the telephone
On the telephone
On the telephone

Look at me
Look at me
Just called to say that it's good to be
Alive!
In such a small world
I'm all curled up with a book to read
I can make money open up a thrift store
I can make a living off a magazine
I can design an engine sixty four
Miles to a gallon of gasoline
I can make new antibiotics
I can make computers survive aquatic conditions
I know how to run a business
I can make you wanna buy a product
Movers shakers and producers
Me and my friends understand the future
I see the strings that control the systems
I can do anything with no assistance
Cause I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
With a microphone
And I can split the atoms of a molecule
Of a molecule
Of a molecule

Look at me
Look at me
Driving and I won't stop
And it feels so good to be
Alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let 'em all die in exasperation
Have 'em all healed of their lacerations
Have 'em all killed by ***assination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don't like 'em and
I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command
Because I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
By satellite
And I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope
And I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust

Chuck Todd called Trump a catty biatch and Trump was like "Oh no she didn't!" and then Chuck Todd's friend Stacy started a rumor that Trump has herpes and Trump called the police on her but, like, what are the police supposed to do? So Todd called Trump a skank right to his face in the lunch line and Trump slapped him and pulled out a chunk of Todd's hair.

But then Mrs. Levin pulled them apart and sent them to the principals office.

Irving Maimway: Could Trump come off any more petty than he did there??

How dare you?! He has a degree from Wharton! He knows everything there is to know about politics and finance. He has the top rated show on NBC! He's the only person in the entire world who is concerned that Obama is foreign born. He is the most successful person who has lived or will ever live. Why do you not see the greatness that is THE DONALD?

I honestly don't think the man can breath without uttering some psychopathic self-promotion.

The Spoony Bard: I'm not sure what you guys are all talking about, Trump just owned that guy and it was awesome. Are we all watching the same vid?

Oh right, Trump will never do anything right again. He earned his scarlet letter when he questioned his royal highness' birth certificate.

Oh, no. He was a colossal monomaniacal prick well before the birth certificate thing.

Trump owned nothing here. He did his usual, completely hollow me-me-me schtick. Is it any wonder he an Gingrich have this natural affinity?

And that's the problem right there with many of the people in this country that think like you. Bravado is more appealing than reason. Real leaders don't behave like pro wrestlers.

Chuck: "Donald Trump wanted to respond to a poll. Donald Trump is on the phone with us. Mr. Trump, sorry we didn't get to interact directly this morning. According to polls in Iowa and New Hampshire, Republican voters would be less likely to vote for whichever candidate that you endorse because of your endorsement. Your response to those polls:"

Don: "What poll? I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't call you, you called me about 40 times to get me on the show. Your statement is FALSE! I didn't want to respond to anything! I shall now repeat what I just said because I really like to hear myself talk. I wish you would stop telling lies, Chuck. You are a horrible, horrible human being for telling people that I would like to respond to a poll when I do not want to respond to a poll. You are worse than Hitler."

Chuck: "Well, I am sorry for that. We heard from your people that you wanted to respond to the poll."

Don: "Fine, I'll respond to it. But before I do that, I'd like to repeat what I've already said twice, just because I am really freaking awesome when I speak. And furthermore, I am doing you a huge favor by coming onto your show. Once again, you are worse than Hitler for telling people such horrible lies about how I would like to respond to a poll when I did not want to respond to a poll."

Chuck: "Well, I'm not here to debate you on that, but I would just like to ask you about your response to the poll."

Don: "WORSE THAN HITLER. YOU SPIN A HORRENDOUS WEB OF LIES."

Chuck: "Fine. You are insane. We've already established that. Let's move on. Karl Rove this morning said before your appearance this morning on Fox..."

Don: "KARL ROVE CAME ON AFTER ME! WHY CAN YOU NOT STOP LYING TO THE PEOPLE, CHUCK?"

Chuck: [eyeroll] "Sorry, Karl Rove said AFTER your appearance on Fox this morning, here's what he said:"

[video tape of Karl Rove saying stuff in his usual shiatbag way, but this time he's actually speaking the truth, kinda. "Donald Trump isn't doing anybody any favors. He's just trying to grab ratings for his stupid show. Running for President is a serious thing and Donald Trump is turning it into a farce."]

Chuck: "And then he also said..."

Don: "Let me respond to that first. My show is really important to NBC and NBC is dying to renew my show again, so I don't need to go out and grab ratings. My show is #1 in the 10 o' clock hour for people that accidentally left their TV on while they passed out. Once again, NBC is dying to renew me, so I don't need to grab ratings. HE IS A LIAR TOO. HE IS ALSO WORSE THAN HITLER!"

Chuck: "Okay, it's obvious that you are a hopeless idiot. We'll leave it there. But for the record, we did call you and ask you for your response to the polls. Unfortunately, we never did get that response."

Don: "Thanks for finally admitting that you are a lying piece of shiat that should die in a fire. I appreciate you finally coming to grips with that."

the opposite of charity is justice: I like how he was argumentative over whether Karl Rove was on before or after his Fox appearance, a completely trivial point.

That's what counts as "owning" these days.

Phil Moskowitz: monoski: Mods, seriously put the Trump stuff on the entertainment page. He is an actor not a politician.

I wish they'd put it on the business page, I've always wanted to see the internet explode.

No, because then the Business page might have to declare bankruptcy.

Trump must have a staff of complete toadys and boot lickers. I get the sense that nobody would tell him that interview was a complete fail. Todd asked two questions, Trump obviously did not have answers for either one. So why go on?

Oh yeah, free air time. He can brag to his evening euro-hooker that he was on national tv! She will gaze upward with a look of rapt adoration as she deftly uses her lips to unroll the condom on to his half-erect reason for living.

Wow, how you get that transcribed so quickly?

/Can't believe I wasted 3 minutes actually watching the vid. Should have just checked the comments first.
