Political Ruminations

Morning Quote: Donald Trump

Trump on Fox and Friends on Sunday…..said day also known as “the day after the White House Correspondents Dinner”:

I didn't know that I'd be virtually the sole focus. I guess when you're leading in the polls that sort of thing tends to happen. You raise to a certain level in the polls and boy does the world come after you.....I thought Seth Meyers -- his delivery frankly was not good. He's a stutterer.

Gah.

President Obama kicked some serious butt last night at the White House Correspondents Dinner, much of the butt-kicking aimed at Donald Trump, America’s preeminent race baiter. I especially loved the Lion King segment.  A small bit of President Obama’s segment Via TPM:

Donald Trump is here tonight! (Laughter and applause.) Now, I know that he's taken some flak lately, but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald. (Laughter.) ... [A]ll kidding aside, obviously, we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience. (Laughter.) For example -- no, seriously, just recently, in an episode of Celebrity Apprentice -- (laughter) -- at the steakhouse, the men's cooking team cooking did not impress the judges from Omaha Steaks. And there was a lot of blame to go around. But you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. And so ultimately, you didn't blame Lil' Jon or Meatloaf. (Laughter.) You fired Gary Busey. (Laughter.) And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night.
