If the Twitter link isn't enough, here's this:

http://gawker.com/donald-trump-loves-babies-just-kidding-1784707462

-- LOCATION: VIRGINIA. DONALD TRUMP IS CAMPAIGNING FOR PRESIDENT. HE ADDRESSES THE CROWD IN HIS TRADEMARK STYLE, ONLY TO BE INTERRUPTED BY A SQUALLING INFANT. --

Trump: Don’t worry about that baby, I love babies. I love babies. I hear that baby crying. I like it. What a baby, what a beautiful baby. Don’t worry, don’t worry. The mom’s running around—don’t worry about it, you know. It’s young and beautiful and healthy and that’s what we want.

[THE BABY KEEPS CRYING]

Trump: Actually, I was only kidding. You can get the baby out of here. That’s alright. Don’t worry. I think she really believed me that I love having a baby crying while I’m speaking?! That’s okay, people don’t understand. That’s okay...

And he would have picked it up and it would have stopped crying. Seriously.

I think he's used to being surrounded by people in his pay and under his sway.

They would have understood his 1st comment to mean that he was actually bothered by the baby crying and the mother "running around" and known that his repeated phrase of "don't worry, don't worry about it" meant that they should worry about it and make it go away, either by an underling taking care of it or a nanny removing his crying child.

In his privilege, he is used to having his slightest preference 'read' and acted upon to his satisfaction. The people who do that are the ones who get to stay in his employ.

are puppies and kittens.

I'm pretty sure this is the exact thing he said every time he was actually around one of his kids when they were small and crying. When you're a total asshole, things like this come out of your cakehole naturally.

"Busting chops" one of his NYC-bred "charms" that white men respond to. It makes him relatable - why they think he's "one of us".

And pretty much always inappropriate in a President. For grifters it works well.

People better hope he doesn't have access to a gun because this guy is about to go off the deep end and totally lose it in public. I'm talking speaking in tongues and falling on the floor nutso, it will be spectacular and he'll literally get dragged off to the hospital.

To keep track of all the stupid stuff that he says and does because it is hard to keep track of it all.

Just today it was this crying baby thing and his Purple Heart comment.

Yesterday it was the "a sexually harassed lady should find another job" statement (I am surprised this one isn't getting more coverage)

The other day it was him picking a fight with a fire marshall.

Also it was him lying about the NFL letter.

And of course the Khan stuff.

But it's four days old. Maybe someone will create a Wiki with regular updates.

All I know is I posted this yesterday and Candidate Tiny Hands is progressing swifter than I imagined.
