DONALD TRUMP: And if at the end of 90 days, I fall in short because I’m somewhat politically correct, even though I’m supposed to be the smart one and even though I’m supposed to have a lot of good ideas, it’s OK. He should do this for all of our sakes, as his words are becoming more erratic and alarming by the day. Move it to, say, tomorrow. Trump is not only erratic and prone to voicing various conspiracy theories that originate in Russian Federation, but his personal behavior continually reveals him unfit to be America’s commander-in-chief.

Gov. Rick Snyder, who can not run for a third term because of term limits, has decided not to endorse Trump four years after the governor rallied with GOP nominee Mitt Romney in MI. “They don’t trust Hillary Clinton”, said Attorney General Bill Schuette, a likely 2018 gubernatorial candidate who attended Trump’s recent economic speech in Detroit. The article also pointed out that politicians on both sides of the aisle routinely make hyperbolic accusations against each other, including Democrat U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren claiming in June that her GOP counterparts chose to sell weapons to ISIS, as well as former GOP presidential candidates Carly Fiorina and Rick Santorum also blaming ISIS on Obama and Clinton.
“Donald Trump is hiding behind fake excuses and backtracking on his previous promises to release his tax returns”, Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri said.
By Friday, Trump tweeted messages about the media’s inability to grasp sarcasm, and how he enjoyed watching them try to figure him out.
Sarcasm?! I’m a comedian – I’m pretty well versed in the art of sarcasm.
Minimal media controversy or outrage apparently accompanied Hillary Clinton’s remarks about Trump recruiting for ISIS, even though the liberal-leaning Politifact determined that there was no evidence that ISIS was then using Donald Trump videos as a recruiting tool.
“We want to see the records the night of Benghazi that explain why Secretary Clinton didn’t send in reinforcements as soon as the attack had begun”, he said of the 2012 assault on the U.S. consulate in Libya that killed four Americans, including the ambassador. There’s something we don’t know about. Well, because he told us.
He also said he considered Clinton, his Democratic rival for the presidency, to be the co-founder of the Islamic State group.
Trump wants you to believe whatever strategic manipulation suits him at the moment – not your own ears. Doesn’t she bear some responsibility if not the founder, some responsibility for the rise of ISIS? But Trump again did not agree. “They are the founders”, Trump said at a National Association of Home Builders event in Miami Thursday morning.
The goal of a time-out, say child development experts, is to “decrease undesirable behaviors” by ensuring “that the individual in time-out is not able to receive any reinforcement for a particular period of time”.
It was only two days earlier that Trump blamed the media for making much ado about nothing after he suggested during a rally that gun rights enthusiasts might find a way to stop Clinton if elected. So a time-out would be just the right cure.
MCCASKILL: Well, first of all, the language that Donald Trump has used as it relates to ISIS is disrespectful to the military that is out there fighting ISIS every day.
In any case, the man who famously says all he does is win is ready to face the prospect that he might lose.
Democrats, for instance, already have called on retired Marine Lt. Gen. Jack Bergman, the surprise victor of the open 1st Congressional District Republican primary in northern MI, to repudiate Trump for tangling with the Gold Star family.
Trump also added (in all capitalization): “THEY DON’T GET SARCASM?”
While Trump has turned off some prominent Republicans, state GOP chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel said “we need to support the voters” who nominated Trump. They’re tough. They’re tough.
