Trumplethinskin...the Gift That Keeps On Giving

[sp1814]

Today, Trumplethinskin orders a crying baby and his mother be ejected whilst he was giving a speech.

Serious question...does anyone think he might be a bit...insane?

[Bazile]

Well it can't be fun , having a pesky baby causing you to lose your concentration , when you are trying to read the autocue

[sp1814]

On one level, I actually admire his honesty.

The whole, 'pictured holding a baby' political thing is such a cliche.

[dannyk13]

Insane? probably not. Bombastic ignoramus? definitely.

[andy-hughes]

Suffer the little children Donald - what would Jesus do?

[vulcan42]

I get the impression that Trump is on a massive ego and advertising trip. He's getting massive publicity but is making just enough mistakes to ensure he doesn't get elected.

[andy-hughes]

Vulcan - you have to hope so.

I am advised that his most recent proclamation is that he is going to 'ban porn' - good luck with that!

[pastafreak]

Aspergers?...no/limited empathy.

[andy-hughes]

Donald utterly lacks a sense of humour.

That's why, when he says he loves babies, and that's what we want, his suporters - similarly humour-free - take him at his word.

Then when he says he was kidding, he would like the baby taken out - they takle him at his word.

But when he mimbles "That's alright ... that's alright ..." at the end of both statements, they are confused.

Which does he mean? Either? Both? Neither?

Is he being ironic? Can't be, you need a sense of humour for that.

Is he being sarcastic - see above.

What's happening!!!!!

[youngmafbog]

The lefty rag has to find something.

Why would he be insane for doing that? To be honest I think a few of you are a bit touched due to the obsession you have about him.

[Zacs-Master]

YMB, if joining in a thread makes an ABer obsessive then you've just joined the club.

[andy-hughes]

YMB - // Why would he be insane for doing that? //

Doing what?

[youngmafbog]

The op reports Mr Trump 'orders' a crying babay out. then asks if he is insane.

That's what.

Pretty sure a man of your calibre could work that out though.

[Bazile]

i'm not obsessive about him - i think he is the wrong person to be president

Thanks for the clarification, which I asked for, shame about the need for a snide comment - which I did not ask for.

To address your point - a politician campaigning for office is well advised to embrace babies, and mothers, as almost all do - it makes them look family friendly and nice.

To be a politician campaigning for office, and say that you want babies because they are young and cute and cuddly and all that, and then embarrass the mother in front of thousands of strangers, is a politician who can legitimately have his sanity questioned.

Nothing that this 'orrible ogre ever does is going to put off his supporters ......they have already passed the point of no return.

[jambutty]

Of course he's not insane. Crying babies can be a nuisance, and I love babies.

[just2retro]

I do not like Trump nor his policies but I think he was trying to be 'ironic' - Americans don't do 'Ironic' very well.

[mushroom25]

//Crying babies can be a nuisance//

as anyone who has sat through a theatre performance three rows from an unthinking parent who brought their baby who then screams all the way to the interval, will testify.

there's a time and a place for interactive baby photocalls - a huge auditorium full of adults listening to a presentation (of whatever sort) isn't one of them.

[whiskeryron]

Is Trump another way of pronouncing PILLOCK ?

[just2retro]

^^^its another word for 'fart' isn't it?
