Trump Goes Democratic - Disavows GOP's Positions
by
Pundita Lyon
In a shocking announcement over the weekend, Donald Trump stated his support for taxing the super rich and against the controversial Trans Pacific Partnership agreement. Immediately following the announcement, he stated his intent to shift to the Democratic Party for the remainder of the Primary season. "The field of candidates in the GOP is too crowded with mindless, moronic, mean-spirited men. Oh...I forgot that HP woman. Never mind. They're all fired, as of right now!"
Taking questions from reporters following this surprise announcement, he added, "Look at the Democratic candidates. I'll be the winner, without a doubt. That Sanders guy is too damned old, and look at the face on the other candidate. Would you vote for that?" Ignoring the shocked looks on the media reporters' faces, he continued to speak: "Besides, Democratic voters are too busy arguing among themselves to know the difference, really, and I'll only have to beat two candidates to get the nomination. It's a no-brainer, really. And I'm really, really rich, so I can campaign to beat the band."
With a smug, dismissive look, Trump then climbed into his limo and sped away. It remains to be seen whether he'll follow through with this threat and whether he'll bring Republicans and Independent voters with him, altering the course of history and destroying both political parties in the process. We'll continue to follow this breaking story, with updates as soon as our press car catches up with Trump's limo.

I do not support pompous narcissistic egomaniacs. Trump's face should be under the definition of each of the previous 3 words in the dictionary.

(58,785 posts)4. You gave me a nasty start, MineralMan. For a horrible moment I
believed Trumpzilla spat out the GOP and leapt on us.
MineralMan
(146,262 posts)7. At least you got started...
merrily
(45,251 posts)5. I love irony.
MineralMan
(146,262 posts)6. Don't we all?
merrily
(45,251 posts)9. I've found that many people are oblivious to it, especially when they are the speakers of it.
MineralMan
(146,262 posts)11. Indeed. Irony's funny that way.
Truly it is.
merrily
(45,251 posts)13. Irony's being funny is what makes it irony.
Otherwise, it's merely a statement or question.
MineralMan
(146,262 posts)14. It's like satire, in a way.
If you have to explain it, it doesn't work.
merrily
(45,251 posts)15. If you have to explain an individual occurrence of it, it doesn't work.
Explaining the genre is different from explaining an individual instance of it.
No offense, but I think we've more than beaten this to death. I'm out.
MineralMan
(146,262 posts)16. Three strikes, I guess.

MineralMan
(146,262 posts)12. I think he's trying to get a shot of the weaves in
Trump's hair. Hard to say, though. Either that or the access door on the top of his head.
