Donald Trump’s ‘Big Surprise’ for Republican National Convention is Unspeakably Lame

Human candy corn Donald Trump, a well-known Political Expert and Successful Reality-Television Business Actor, has a "big surprise" planned for the Republican National Convention. We know this because he tweeted it a few days ago:

Today I am working on my 'big surprise' for the @RNC convention. Everyone will love it.


What could be the surprise? Maybe he will reveal that he is actually a pile of quivering, sentient eels projecting the form of "Donald Trump" onto an unwitting populace. Or maybe, Loser Salon's Alex Pareene writes, the surprise will be "some idiotic video where Trump 'fires' an Obama impersonator."

And, lo:

Last night, Obama impersonator (or "Fauxbama," if you prefer) Kevin Michel posted a picture posing with Trump, along with a caption urging his Facebook friends to &quot b)e sure to watch the Republican National Convention."


Yeah, it's gonna be a stupid video where he "fires" an Obama impersonator.

Why do they think I stocked up all this popcorn?

I'm just curious if Romney/Ryan will both make it, or will Queen Ann give a thumb's down to any more campaigning?

Across the street from the convention hall is an overgrown vacant lot... the site of a proposed downtown condominium project. Trump sold his name to the developers, who then used it to buyers as a guarantee of the project's finances and exclusivity. Needless to say, after collecting millions in pre-construction sales, the developers declared bankruptcy and walked away. Lawsuits probably still pending, but the buyers will be lucky to collect a few pennies on the dollar. I think it was called Trump Towers or something? Ill have to google it up, this happened several years ago, during the housing bubble.

Edit: More info-check Wikipedia, Trump Tower (Tampa)
