Summary of Trump's campaign:

Quote*In a Washington Post interview, Trump declined to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan against his primary challenger
*He reiterated that he hasn't endorsed Sen. John McCain and said the onetime prisoner of war "has not done a good job for the vets"
*He slapped out at Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte, saying "she has given me zero support"
*He suggested that Americans should pull their 401(k) funds out of the stock market
*He said he's "always wanted" to receive a Purple Heart but that having one gifted to him by a supporter was "much easier"
*He said that the handling of sexual harassment has "got to be up to the individual"
*He accused Khizr Khan of being "bothered" by his plan to keep terrorists out of the country, and said that he had no regrets about his clash with the family
*He appeared to feud with a crying baby during a rally
*He reiterated that "if the election is rigged, I would not be surprised"
*The sitting president of the United States publicly called Trump "unfit to serve" and urged Republicans to withdraw their support for him.
*Trump spokesman Katrina Pierson suggested that Obama and Clinton are to blame for the death of Humayan Khan, who died in 2004, when neither were in the executive branch at the time
*An ally of Paul Manafort told our colleague John Harwood at CNBC that the campaign chairman is "mailing it in," leaving the rest of the staff "suicidal."
*Sitting GOP congressman Richard Hanna, HP head Meg Whitman and former Christie aide Maria Comella all said they plan to vote for Hillary Clinton
*The Washington Post released a transcript of its full interview with Trump, indicating among other things that he paused five times to watch TV coverage in the middle of the sit-down
*A GOP source told NBC's Katy Tur that Reince Priebus is "apoplectic" over Trump's refusal to endorse Ryan and is making calls to the campaign to express his "extreme displeasure"

... all in one day.

At least he pees standing up, which is more than Hillary can say.

Not gonna lie. This and the taco bowl picture are my favorite Trump moments so far. Actually makes him more likeable.

As soon as he opens his mouth, though...   :lol:

I've never got people who leave the seat cover open at home. <_<

I was pretty surprised that Priebus came out so strongly against Trump until I re-read it and saw that it didn't specifically mention Trump so now I'm not sure what he says. :P

Why?  I eat fried chicken, pizzas, hot dogs etc with fork and knife all the time.  I hate to get my hands dirty. 

The Larch

One thing I've wondered about Trump is if, if elected, he would still be allowed to handle his companies and business investments as if nothing had happened or if there's some kind of conflict of interest prevention law or regulation that would force him to relinquish temporarely his control during an eventual presidency.

The whole point of this exercise is to use the White House and the EOP as a brand enhancement for The Trump Organizationtm.  It's all one and the same to him.
