Rump Trump Ditches His Circus Debate

To the dismay of comedians everywhere, comb-over king Donald "Rump" Trump has ditched the Rethuglican circus "debate" he was supposed to moderate, which at last count only had Poot Gingrich and Rick "Google Me" Santorum as participants anyway. Whether the spectacle will go on is up in the air; it's being sponsored by wingnut propaganda wurlitzer "Newsmax," whose visits to reality are rare indeed. One has to wonder, though, if the disrespect the Rethug candidates and establishment have shown toward Rump in this debacle will make a Rump decision to run for President as an independent more likely. Could we be so lucky?

Quote of the Day - Trump Endorsement Edition

From Eugene Robinson in today's Kaplan Daily:

"Among all voters, the Fox News poll found, only 6 percent said a Trump endorsement would make them more likely to vote for the endorsee, while a stunning 31 percent said they would be less likely to do so.

"That’s quite an achievement for the helmet-haired host of “The Apprentice.” It’s hard to think of anyone else this side of Guantanamo whose backing could turn off nearly one-third of the U.S. voting population."

Rump Trump, of course, is a narcissist whose lack of self-awareness is only matched by his lack of scruples... making him "Poo or Poot" Gingrich's alter ego (only Gingrich and Rick "Google It" Santorum are participating in Rump's December 27 circus debate).

UPDATE: Now there's word Rump may cancel his "debate" due to lack of participation. Ha-ha!

Jon Stewart on Rump Trump's Circus "Debate"

(Apologies in advance for the ad!)


I believe he alludes to Trump at one point as "a circus peanut wearing a badger." I'll never be able to think of the "badass honey badger who don't give a damn" in the same way again!

"Topic 1: How Great Am I?"

TV reality host and blowhard birther Donald "Rump" Trump has a new scam: he's trying to round up the Rethuglican candidates for a "debate" later this month that he will host on a small cable channel. Since everything that Rump does is all about Rump, we'll have to assume this is his forum for upstaging the pathetic Rethuglican field and for self-promotion.

Rump likes to project himself as a self-made billionaire, but his multi-millionaire father set him up in the family business. He's been in and out of bankruptcy court more than once, and led the lunatic "birther" fringe until his humiliating smack down by President Obama at last April's White House Correspondents' Dinner. Rump quickly fell in the polls after the President's birth certificate was released.

To their credit, Rep. Ron Paul and former Gov. Jon Huntsman declined to kiss Rump's rump and participate in the "debate," which has been memorably -- and accurately -- described as "the clown hosting the circus."
