Donald Trump jokes about Bernie's hernia surgery

<...>

Washington (CNN) Donald Trump joked Monday that Bernie Sanders needed hernia surgery because of the heft of the tax hikes his campaign proposals would carry.

Sanders, the Vermont senator and Democratic presidential contender, was off the campaign trail Monday to have outpatient hernia surgery at George Washington University.

"You know why?" Trump asked a crowd in Macon, Georgia. "Carrying around too much tax problems."

Trump continued: "Because he's gonna tax you. He's gonna tax you. But let's not even talk about tax problems -- he wants to double and triple everyone's taxes, wants to bring you up to 90%!"

When asked for a response to the insult, Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said, "There's not enough time in the day to respond to every dumb thing Donald Trump says."

He has no brakes, no controls, no sense of propriety, no empathy.

The sight of him sickens me.

He is a disgusting human being.

I question the sanity of anyone who would vote for this piece of human garbage.

There is so much wrong in that joke it would take days to unravel it. We literally can't wrap our heads around that much stupid chit.
