FTFY

“I said, ‘I think I have to talk about it now.’ My people said, ‘Don’t do it, sir, don’t do it,’” Mr. Trump told the crowd. “But if I don’t tell you the story, you’re going to read — it was the front page of The Washington Post.”

Keep it up! Don't listen to your people. Trust your gut. Keep talking about how badly you fucked up.

“You know, I do the weave,” he said. “You know what ‘the weave’ is? I’ll talk about like nine different things that they all come back brilliantly together. And it’s like — and friends of mine that are like English professors, they say, ‘It’s the most brilliant thing I’ve ever seen.’”

It's like, brilliant how you, like talk about whatever and, I dunno, like weave a tapestry. Wow, I just shit out some truly poetic stuff right there.

Mr. Trump said the country was “being poisoned” by illegal immigration, adding that “schools and children are suffering greatly” because migrants in some cities had been temporarily sheltered in schools. “They are going into classrooms and taking their seats, and they don’t even speak English,” he said.

Racist.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
