Today, in the sad ravings of a racist baby carrot dipped in hummus: Donald Trump apparently can’t stop taking the bait.
When Hillary Clinton debated him on Monday, she seemed to be taking cues from the Elizabeth Warren Playbook, getting under his skin at every opportunity, especially over former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, who Trump publicly shamed when she gained weight. Now an American citizen who plans to vote for Clinton, Machado’s proven to be a powerful asset to the Democrats.
Trump’s reponse? He’s continued to attack Machado for her appearance, and now he’s taken to predawn Twitter in a show of just tremendous judgment, posting the following:
Where to even begin with this?
Well, according to CBC, the “sex tape” in question is actually nudity-free footage that was taken from Machado’s stint on a reality TV show. So, you know, it’s not a sex tape at all.
And even if there were any truth to his tiresome machinations? Given Trump’s cartoonishly awful track record with women, going after a beauty queen for her body, and then because of her perceived sexuality, is probably one of the dumbest things he could do at this point.
You can tell the Clinton campaign is having fun with it. Here’s their response, via Facebook:
This is a borderline gleeful campaign statement, and it’s also smart as hell. Given that Trump, a candidate who’s seemingly worked tirelessly to make belittling women a key part of his horrible personal brand, is losing big with women voters, he can’t really afford to die on this hill.
But it looks like he can’t stop taking the bait, especially when it comes to answering for his well-documented sexism and racism.
Trump responded to questions about what he was doing tweeting at five in the morning by (of course) tweeting, “For those few people knocking me for tweeting at three o’clock in the morning, at least you know I will be there, awake, to answer the call!”
To answer the tempting call to post garbage on Twitter, I guess. As is the proud tradition of the party of Lincoln.
Bad news for the Clinton campaign: Clinton is still despised by most Americans and the Democrat base.
… despite getting the nomination. (Yes, I know: clearly she stole it by selling uranium she stashed in Benghazi via the foundation.)
And even if any of that were true, she still 1) has a reasonable chance of winning and 2) is not Trump, so she’s got my vote.
Keep belittling the base and anyone who is not 100% behind Kissinger’s protege. That’s the way to win! When she loses to Trump you’ll have only yourself to blame.
You are not the base.
You are a sociopath. https://youtu.be/CZubnx1XNsM

All of the Hillary bashing in the world can’t put a dent in the rock hard fact that Trump is nothing but a fast talking buffoon who just wants to rape the entire world and fill his pockets at the expense of every one of us. His personal debt exceeds his net worth. Plus he sucks and is only appealing to assholes who wish they could suck that hard. Personally I think his numbers are way inflated and 90% of sentient voting Americans know he has no business anywhere near the Whitehouse or nuclear launch codes.
