Trump Camp Demands New Debate Rules

In view of last night’s unmitigated disaster, the Trump campaign has issued the following demands in respect of the two remaining presidential debates:

Mr. Trump will have a 20-minute spot for his opening remarks, so that he can take credit for everything anyone in the world has ever done, is doing now, or will do in future.

There will be no questions about facts, nor will facts be discussed in any manner. Having little-to-no knowledge of actual facts has disadvantaged Republicans in every debate for decades, and Mr. Trump is insistent that this bias finally be done away with in the interest of fairness.

Secretary Clinton will not be given any questions. She will only speak when spoken to by Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump believes that a woman should be kept in her place, regardless of what office she brazenly thinks she has a right to run for.

Secretary Clinton will refrain from bringing up her vast experience in political and world affairs. She will limit references to her past activities to the topics of cooking, cleaning and ironing Bill’s shirts.

Mr. Trump’s microphone will be inspected beforehand, to ensure that it isn’t one of those trick mics that make him sound as though he’s a sniffling idiot who says really, really dumb shit.

The live audience will be comprised of ill-informed, uneducated idiots (i.e. Mr. Trump’s “base”), who will be free to applaud any of Mr. Trump’s comments they pretend to understand.

Mr. Trump will be given 15 minutes to respond to any questions, while Secretary Clinton will be limited to 30 seconds. What Mr. Trump has to say is far more important than anything Secretary Clinton has to say. Therefore, time allotted to answer questions will be proportioned according.

When Mr. Trump interrupts Secretary Clinton, she will apologize profusely for any attempts to interrupt his interruptions, and forfeit her 30 seconds to respond to the question she was asked.

Promos for Trump Hotels/Country Clubs will be used as a backdrop throughout the debate. This will allow Mr. Trump to devote his responses to actual issues, instead of having to try to work free ads for his properties into responses to questions about Syria.

Mr. Trump will be asked no questions about the economy, education, foreign affairs, civil rights, the environment, LGBT rights, immigration, international trade, healthcare, the military, disaster response, race relations, employment/job creation, the country’s infrastructure, homeland security, or the Constitution. Questions will be limited to only those topics Mr. Trump is knowledgeable about, (e.g.) how bigly successful he is.

Questions posed that may lead to demonstrating Mr. Trump’s abject stupidity and immaturity will be responded to by Mr. Trump sticking his tongue out at the moderator, and holding his breath until he turns from orange to blue.

Mr. Trump has agreed to the following list of potential moderators: Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Tiffany Trump, Eric Trump, Barron Trump. (Melania Trump has been excluded, as Michelle Obama never moderated a debate – therefore, there is no source material available to be plagiarized.)

Tiffany is the daughter he had with wife #2, Marla Maples. He didn't even really want her.

In an old article, done while she was a very young girl, he said he didn't want to "change diapers or do feedings. That was the woman's job. He didn't want to do the work of raising the children, just go to work and make the money."

Recently, he said men who raise their kids are "acting like the wife."

http://fortune.com/2016/04/24/trump-act-like-wife/

<snip>

Trump doesn’t change diapers…

“No, I don’t do that,” Trump said on the Opie and Anthony show in 2005. “There’s a lot of women out there that demand that the husband act like the wife and you know there’s a lot of husbands that listen to that… I’m really like a great father but certain things you do and certain things you don’t. It’s just not for me.”

…or really do anything hands-on to care for his kids.

“I mean, I won’t do anything to take care of them. I’ll supply funds and she’ll take care of the kids. It’s not like I’m gonna be walking the kids down Central Park,” Trump said in a 2005 interview with Howard Stern. “Marla used to say, ‘I can’t believe you’re not walking Tiffany down the street,’ you know in a carriage. Right, I’m gonna be walking down Fifth Avenue with a baby in a carriage. It just didn’t work.”

Speaking to [Howard] Stern in 2003, Trump said he married Maples because she got pregnant with Tiffany. “At the time it was like, ‘Excuse me, what happened?” Trump said. “And then I said, ‘Well, what are we going to do about this?'”

Don't in the name of all that is holy and good, allow Trump to see your post!

He will immediately claim that he wrote these, and therefore they will be the rules for the two last debates!

I responded to your "Dear Hillary" post that you should be working for Faux News, helping them understand how things should be done (plus the chance to meet really neat executives!).

Perhaps I need to reconsider that suggestion and send you off to head Mr. Trump's campaign - you certainly seem to have a very good insight as to what makes that really yuge, really smart, really orange man tick!

Trump should bring his tax return to the next debate, so the American people can see how smart he is.
