Remember how he told us how he would have dashed unarmed into Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School to face down the gunman and end the massacre of the students there?

It's a shame he wasn't on hand to demonstrate his courage and valor on that terrible day. But now's his chance!

This video is from years ago. There’s no way he can run. He has to sit down or ride in a golf cart when in public. When he has to stand at a lectern, he holds on to keep himself upright.

...then. How he thinks that looks good is a mystery to me. It’s worse than a mullet, and that’s hard to do.

I would pay good money to watch him being given a prison buzz cut.

In the spirit of the Summer Games, old footage of GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, in jeans and a polo shirt, trying his hand at beach volleyball has resurfaced online.

Someone even added “Playing With The Boys” by Kenny Loggins ― the song used for the beach volleyball scene in “Top Gun.”

It’s not clear when or where the video was filmed but it once served as the “Moment of Zen” on “The Daily Show” all the way back in 1999, when Trump was toying with the idea of entering the 2000 presidential campaign.

He would have served his term and be out of office by now. I don't think he would have had the appeal or support he has now. There is something very wrong with those who comprise his base today. It almost seems like he is a manifestation of the hateful, right-wing momentum that has been growing in this country. Like they almost conjured him up.

trump is famous for facing down his foes.

i'm sure he will be shorty announcing the firing of everyone that is even near the embassy with a tweet.

run into one of the mass shootings, I think, and stop it on the spot. Some call it mentality, I call it mental.

If they aren't able to repel the invaders (highly unlikely), he will complain that their leaders are "weak" and "worthless," not realizing that he is the Supreme Leader in the military hierarchy.
