Donald Trump Whines Van Susteren Didn’t Introduce Him As ‘The Frontrunner’

During Greta Van Susteren’s lapdog town hall with Donald Trump, the candidate boasted about how much more presidential he will be if elected. Then, moments later, he started whining that he had been introduced only as “candidate” and not “the front runner.” Yeah, that’s really presidential.

Van Susteren’s town hall with Donald Trump was such a softball event that even Fox’s own Greg Gutfeld snarked about it on Twitter.

Van Susteren did ask a few semi-challenging questions, such as, “You’ve gotten a lot of criticism for your tone and tenor. Is it going to change or do you have no objection to it?”

Trump replied with just the kind of elementary-school maturity that, alone, ought to disqualify him for public office.

TRUMP: Yes, tone to me matters. Being presidential matters.

…You know what happens? What happens is, they hit me and I hit ‘em back harder. And usually, I mean, almost in all cases, they do it first. But they hit me and I hit them back harder and they disappear. And that’s what we want to lead the country. But I promise you. Let me finish it off, I will be so presidential that you will be so proud of me.

You know, I’m a smart guy, being presidential’s easy.

Not surprisingly, Van Susteren did not press Trump about his “they started it first” excuse. If Trump feels dissed by Vladimir Putin, is he going to drop a nuke to make him “disappear?” Nor did Van Susteren ever challenge Trump on his wildly inappropriate and very, very un-presidential tenor in tweets about Megyn Kelly. Even As they discussed whether or not he would continue using Twitter in the White House.

TRUMP: As president, I would be very much different on that. I wouldn’t be doing it much… maybe not doing it at all.

Or, maybe he would.

TRUMP: I have millions and millions of people, they rely on it. They love it. And I think it’s one of the reasons, frankly, I’m doing so well.

But getting a woman to help showcase Trump just when he’s having woman problems was not enough ego massage for him.

TRUMP: You understand, when you introduced me, you said “candidate.” But I’m really by far the front runner, OK? By far. (Turning to the audience) She didn’t say that. I was surprised. I was gonna say “Let’s do that introduction again, but I didn’t want to do that.”

Of course, Van Susteren gave him a pass on that, too.

Watch it below, from the April 3 On The Record.

Feel free to let Trump know how you feel about him @RealDonaldTrump

Regarding the thread here on the mysterious and idiotic text formatting codes: It’s hard to figure how the jerk programmer who coded the comment editor got off at the Nuremberg trials. 😉

I’m seriously burned out battling it. As a coder myself it offends me the many bad and nonstandard practices it uses. It’s a complete p.o.s.

Two astricks make italics?

Trump’s skin is so thin, you can slice atoms with it.

Thank you (I hope)

When Trumpster goes down in flames he is taking Nixon trainee Ailes and the rest of the Foxies down with him. It’s coming, it’s coming.

*It always surprised me that Greta Van Sustern decided to make Faux her employer.

And now she has been leashed.

@ Joseph West
It looks like markdown, only markdown uses 2 asteriks – whatever you write – 2 asteriks to bold, 1 asterisk giving you italic.

While you’re at it, could you direct me to some page with all the explications (or, at least, tell how to make italics).
Thank you

C’mon Greta, work with me here. I’m number one! The best candidate, evar. My ego needs constant nourishment, else it shrivels up like my… tiny, childlike fingers.

Okay. That didn’t quite work. The first asterisk in the example came out as a “bullet square.”

So, let’s try this:

(asterisk)example(asterisk) should look like example if you replace the (asterisk) with the actual symbol.

To bold on this site, simply use the asterisk (*) followed by whatever you want bolded then the asterisk again.

There doesn’t seem to any pre-determined length of material that will bold, but hitting the “enter” key does seem to break the bolding.

The downside, though, is you can’t really display how to do it without bolding the example without showing the steps you used to bold the material. Will try, though.
  • / / example / / * (If this worked correctly, the word “example” shouldn’t be bolded. If so, just type what’s there but no spaces or slashes.)

After daily Fux “interviews” from Van Suckup, KKKlannity and Daddy Steve Douchebag, it’s a miracle that Long Dong Donald has any foreskin left.

Doesn’t work that way either. I quit.

Damned! Didn’t work. Let’s try with “strong”
< strong > Let’s try with “strong” < / strong >
<strong>Let’s try with “strong”</strong>

Ellen said, “Yeah, that’s really presidential.” **
I have yet to hear anything presidential come from that pie-hole.
  • Could someone please remind me how to make the letters bold? TIA

Ugh. How incredibly embarrassing for Greta, since she toadied up to him for so many years, and now she gets slammed for forgetting to say “front-runner,” which is apparently mandatory at Fox.

MJ, you doubt the Donald?

That toughness!!

Coming up from the ranks of New York realtors with daddy’s millions behind you.

And then if daddy’s millions weren’t enough, there’s bankruptcy court.

Where is Lt. Col. Frank Slade when you need to topple those ivory towers?
Hoowahh!!

It sounds to me like Drumpf is saying, basically, that we want a pugilist as president.

To my recollection, we’ve only had one: Theodore Roosevelt — I’m not certain that that’s a good idea, as Roosevelt’s pugilism resulted in his being blind in his left eye for the last 14 years of his life . . . additionally, Roosevelt was, for all his faults, well-rounded: he had been a scholar, cattleman, soldier, NYC Police Commissioner, NY governor, and Vice President — all before assuming office at age 42.

I don’t recall Drumpf “hitting back” any of the creditors who sued him any harder than they hit him

If Greta has to candy coat it, Trump might be in danger of flaming out. People keep asking when this asshole is gonna cross the line of acceptability and start pulling negative numbers.
Trump may have crossed that boundary.

But come on!! Not before the convention!!

I want Trump to be the orange haired snowball in hell after the convention.
