Donald Trump's office desk: No computer, but piles of magazines. Of him.

[KeepItReal]

He does not have so much as an iPad visible on his huge desk in the 60 minutes interview, much less a MacBook or PC.

Who handles business in 2015 based on piles of printed paper? Is that shit supposed to be impressive?

I'm not gonna even go into the extreme narcissism of having multiple copies of magazines with your face on the cover sitting on your CEO desk like it's a doggone Trump memorabilia newsstand.

1. Well hopefully the GOP voters find that awful

His numbers are going down so maybe they are done with his antics. Who knows. My gut says Rubio will be the nominee when all is done. Of course I thought it was going to be Walker so what do I know. My gut obviously is not good at predicting creepers in the GOP.

3. I still think it will be Jeb.

It creeps me out to say that, but all of them creep me out.

[DetlefK]

5. Jeb will be the next Romney.

Everybody will compromise on Jeb without really liking him. And that lack of fire will cost him the national election.

[Retrograde]

10. Yeah, it's the same thing we saw in 2012

Nobody really liked the GOP heir - Romney - so everybody else got their couple of weeks of being in the spotlight before Mitt got the nod.

What ever did happen to Herman Cain anyway?

6. I want as many of the GOP clowns as possible to stay in the race, so they can't coalesce around a si

less obviously bizarre candidate to drive Trump and Carson out of the race.

Sure, Trump appeals to the R base, but he rips the mask off the reality of Republican politics and policies, and since the media can't resist showcasing his freak reality show, they end up spotlighting R craziness in a way they usually conspire to cover up to maintain the appearance of a real competition (for ratings) and also to protect the RW candidates that the megamedia owners favor.

Also, because the base loves Trump, he is forcing the more apparently "respectable" candidates, like Bush and Rubio, to openly lurch further to the right and throw the reddest of red meat out for the base, just as the clowns forced Romney to do in 2012. They are no more moderate or rational than he in their actual stances, but they usually manage to softpedal the worst stuff in order to avoid scaring off voters in the general election. But they can't pretend *not* to be super RW as long as Trump is getting so much coverage and riling up the base.

Even low-information general election voters are being force fed the Trump show by nonstop media coverage, so they are learning things about the GOP that the GOP, with the help of a complicit media, usually keep pretty well hidden from all but political junkies like those of us here on DU.

So I hope all the R candiidates stay in the race for a good long time, because I don't want a Rubio, Bush, or Kasich to be able to rally enough support to be free to start pretending to be less radical than he really is.

2. I bet he has a computer 'room' larger than my house!

4. Top-level executives don't use computers. That's what they have assistants for.

The magazines with Trump's picture on their covers is a little worrisome, but really? Someone handles Donald's computer work in the same way people handled Pauly's phone calls in Goodfellas: you get the information the executive needs to make his decision, take it to him, and wait patiently while he does the deciding...then you go back to your workstation and feed in the decision.

8. I have a feeling

all of Trumps "work" is done by people he hires to run things, people much smarter than him. Whenever he's asked in an interview how he plans to accomplish things, he says he'll "hire the best managers", this is his answer for everything.

7. office, temple, whatever ...

9. POTUS desk:

I've never seen a picture of Obama's desk that has a computer on it.

What's yer point?

Top level executives usually do most of their work on the phone or through highly skilled people who delegate routine matters to worker bees.

11. How does he send all of his delightful "Tweets"?

12. Al Gore's Desk and Office.....REMEMBER?
