2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe Unhappy Campaign Of Paul Manafort
Huffington PostThe taco bowl incident, trivial though it was, is one example. On Cinco de Mayo, Trump happened to be eating a taco bowl for lunch at his desk in Trump Tower. Manafort was in the office with other aides when a member of the family suggested they tweet a picture of Trump enjoying his Mexican lunch.
Manafort politely suggested that this might be seen as condescending and cautioned against it. The tweet went out. Trump himself was delighted by the resulting controversy. The people who were offended were people we wanted to offend, he later said.

"A member of his family" vs. the Campaign Manager...

(43,182 posts)1. What's the deal with Trump posing for pictures with fast food?
It's as though his handlers are so desperate to portray him as a man of the people and somehow sending a picture of him eating "regular" food will make people connect to him.
Never mind there are pictures of Donald Trump eating fast food on his private jet. Because nothing says "man of the people" like having your own private jet.

He never had class, he will never have class, he has no desire for class.
Look at the gilded world he appoints for himself. Its all tacky garbage with no taste.

Donald Trump on Thursday dished on a subject he's passionate about: fast food.
The real-estate mogul spoke at length about his taste for McDonald's and Burger King -- and even a little KFC -- during CNN Republican presidential town hall with South Carolina voters.
But the golden arches are tops with Trump, who said he seeks out the fish, Big Macs and Quarter Pounders with cheese.
"It's great stuff," he told host Anderson Cooper.

(25,111 posts)5. Well didn't his family (DT) oust that horrible CNN somebody in
favor of Manafort where he sounded very similar to the ousted manager?
There was no change because DT's family with the help of psycho cronies are running the show. Now, DT and family have gotten even worst in picking the psychos of psychos. The USA presidential campaign will totally go all out ugly, but my bet will be on HRC for the knock out punch.
