The Future President, Donald Trump

I am A2K's Varys,

Trump's self generated myth of his self made billionaire staus will be wiped out as his Atlantic City fiascos are made public should he even make it to primary time.

He inherited a pretty good pile of money and , had he merely invested it in SP 500 (multi cap) index funds, hed be far richer than had he fucked with his inheritance.
Hes like "lonesome Rhodes" (the Andy Griffith character from "A Face in the Crowd"). He believes his own bullshit.

Thats dangerous shen some blatherthwhaite believes he has valid answers

That's the best encapsulation of the Donald Trump 'thing' I've seen here. Well said.

"Mr. Trump insults and dismisses women. He's been throwing a lot of heat my way," Clinton said during a rally in Portsmouth, N.H. "I do find a lot of what he says pretty ridiculous."

, "I would rather you stop cherishing women and start respecting women."

On working with women:

“I’m not a crusader for feminism, and I’m not against it, either. I’m just oblivious to a person’s gender when it comes to hiring people and handing out assignments.” (“Trump: Surviving at the Top”)

“It’s funny. My own mother was a housewife all her life. And yet it’s turned out that I’ve hired a lot of women for top jobs, and they’ve been among my best people. Often, in fact, they are far more effective than the men around them.” (“Trump: The Art of the Deal”)

“The [1997 Miss Universe] pageant in Miami Beach, my first as owner, was a huge success. We’d sold out the house; it was a mob scene. From my position offstage, I was able to glance up to the greenroom occasionally. I could just see Alicia Machado, the current Miss Universe, sitting there plumply. God, what problems I had with this woman. First, she wins. Second, she gains fifty pounds. Third, I urge the committee not to fire her. Fourth, I go to the gym with her, in a show of support. Final act: She trashes me in The Washington Post — after I stood by her the entire time. What’s wrong with this picture? Anyway, the best part about the evening was the knowledge that next year, she would no longer be Miss Universe.” (“Trump: The Art of the Comeback”)

“I grew up in a very normal family. I was always of the opinion that aggression, sex drive, and everything that goes along with it was on the man’s part of the table, not the woman’s. As I grew older and witnessed life firsthand from a front-row seat at the great clubs, social events, and parties of the world — I have seen just about everything — I began to realize that women are far stronger than men. Their sex drive makes us look like babies. Some women try to portray themselves as being of the weaker sex, but don’t believe it for a minute.” (“Trump: The Art of the Comeback”)

“Women have one of the great acts of all time. The smart ones act very feminine and needy, but inside they are real killers. The person who came up with the expression ‘the weaker sex’ was either very naive or had to be kidding. I have seen women manipulate men with just a twitch of their eye — or perhaps another body part.” (“Trump: The Art of the Comeback”)

“There’s nothing I love more than women, but they’re really a lot different than portrayed. They are far worse than men, far more aggressive, and boy, can they be smart. Let’s give credit where credit is due, and let’s salute women for their tremendous power, which most men are afraid to admit they have.” (“Trump: The Art of the Comeback”)

"A Face in the Crowd" is a classic film. Andy Griffith is chilling as Lonesome Rhodes.

He was one hell of an actor. His portrayal was pitch perfect. In fact I think in retrospect he did a better job than Patricia Neal and the other more established actors. I don't know if you have seen "No time for Sergeants" released in 1958, but it is a howling good time. Griffith was from North Carolina and a graduate of UNC. He releases a number of comedy albums including "What it was, was football". Mr. G'bag grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina, Griffith's comedy routines were so loved by the locals, that the Mr. performed "what it was was football" when he was in 6th grade. It killed.
