I like the way he holds up three fingers as a victory salute.
He's a funny guy. Not so funny as a presidential candidate, but I hope he stays in long enough to keep the lulz going.

His parents must be proud.

Neither do the drones who mindlessly cheered when he said it.
Fortunately, it's a moot point because his campaign is dead in the water.
