New Survey coming this weekend!Tetris tried to warn us, man.
What... Do they not understand that Obama isn't running? That he can't run for a third term, even if he wanted to?
This Space Intentionally Left Blank.I have a pretty low opinion on Fox News, but when Trump manages to get THEM to facepalm...
(Well, okay, the Trump & Manafort combo)

As someone who can't watch the video, what exactly was she facepalming about?
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.Trump instead of staying on message decided to moan about how he'd been reported on for every single stupid thing he said. As in he bought up all the stupid thing he'd said to try and defend them instead of moving on.
“And the Bunny nails it!” ~ Gabrael “If the UN can get through a day without everyone strangling everyone else so can we.” ~ CyranMaybe he could stop saying stupid things and then people wouldn't insist on reporting on them.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Megan: "Trump is bragging about the handicap access ramps that he puts in his buildings? They're required by law! He can't claim credit for that."
Trump supporter: "Well, they are very nice ramps, he's spared no expense."
Megan: (Facepalm) "Oh, good God..."
This Space Intentionally Left Blank.Indeed. He keeps trying to blame the media, but he's the one who's saying stupid things.
"It's all the media's fault! They're jealous! They're holding me BACK!!"
Away from the presidential race 538 have some commentary on the Senate race, the post convention tanking for Trump is hurting the senate candidates to. 538 currently have the Dems picking up "Illinois, Indiana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin." and the Republicans "would pick up Nevada and hold onto Florida, North Carolina and Ohio".[1]
Remember that weird letter Trump released that said he "was the healthiest candidate ever"?
Well, someone
analyzed the letter and noticed that it said that Trump's test results were "all positive" among other weird elements, so either Trump has literally every disease ever, or whoever wrote it was clearly not a doctor.

"Why would I inflict myself on somebody else?"

The only consistent policy Trump has is White Nationalism.
New Survey coming this weekend!
