campaign, with the only elixir being in front of worshiping crowds.

When he loses, he will be left with the humiliation of defeat, tax liens, lawsuits, and a cratering bottomline. He'll have to move his Foundation out of NY, the one which nobody will donate to and which he can't use to shelter income once the NY AG gets finished with him. There will still be supporters, but he cares not a bit for them, and he can't make $$ on speeches to them. He craves adoration, of which there is never enough, and $$.

I'm thinking he's in for some justice for putting us - and the world - through this terrifying nightmare.

Does it matter so much that Obama is black? Is Trump so completely racist that the race of the man who humiliated him made it so much worse?

That's just sick.

An openly racist president.

Time to donate more money to Hillary.

It was a necessary poetic justice for the utterly unfathomable depth of stupidity that is birtherism.

I didn't see birtherism as racist because it was so stupid. So unbelievable. And yet, no one went after McCain, no one seriously went after Cruz. race played a part in the stupidity.

This is his personal emotional need? We don't want that kind of President. He'd abandon the job immediately just because winning it was his only goal.

Love Obama

....and I remember vividly how Trump glared throughout the entire roast of him.

And as someone else here pointed out, at the very moment he was speaking our Seals were flushing out Obama bin Laden. Obama literally rushed out of the room to essentially "get back to work, to do the job of President".
