Trumped -- and the end game.
In the game of bridge, a card from a trump suit beats a card from any other suit.

In the game of life, a Trump ego thinks it can beat all others -- even unto the Oval Office.

Face it. Donald Trump is a wealthy buffoon who is nothing more than a bad joke on humanity. Forget what he thinks about himself. What do you think about him? The self-image of the Almighty; the belief that being born on third base is the birthright of every American; the idea that he can do anything he wants to do that the rest of us mere mortals aren't allowed to do; the women who are stupid enough to jump into his bed because they think he's anything other than a incredible idiot with money who won't even remember their names the next morning; a total loser who is nothing more than THE GREAT AMERICAN JOKE.

But the fact that he's making believe to run for president says more about the American people than it does about him. It says that far too many Americans are imbeciles. It says that far too many Americans would actually vote for this charlatan.

It says we are a country on the way down and we are descending far faster than we think we are. It says that we are on the way out as a world power. Our weapons will keep us in power a while longer. But ultimately, we will either blow up the the planet, or shrivel into a meaningless nation which all other nations will hold in contempt.

9. Your concept of a genius would be more convincing if you could spell genius.

11. I didn't claim I was the genius. Also,
when the "i" key and the "o" key are right next to each other, it makes that typo a whole lot more defensible.

But, alas, you got me. I concede. However, my original statement stands, typo or not.

2. It says that far too many Americans are imbeciles.
Exactly, we are a triple-stupid country.
And were getting ready to blow past that estimate.

4. He's a wealthier, glibber, yankee version of George W. Bush.
...without the religiousity, but with a larger ego.

5. How is he any greater a "charlatan" than Reagan was?
And 2) what does this say about the approx 1/2 eligible voters who don't vote?

6. Reagan was nothing more than an amiable imbecile puppet.
And regarding those who don't vote, they deserve what the get. Unfortunately, they drag us all down into their self-made hell.
