According to a new report, Donald Trump today hung up on a group of Washington Post reporters and then pretended he wasn’t home when they called back. The cause of his fright? A question about John Miller, the name he sometimes uses when pretending to be a spokesman for himself.
Ben Carson, eerily calm as always, offered a dead-eyed observation Friday: Ted Cruz will eventually come around to Donald Trump, unlikely as it sounds, because they all do, eventually.
Donald Trump has admitted under oath (but now denies) that he spent decades commenting on himself in the press under the guise of a Trump spokesperson named John. But until this week, the uninitiated could only imagine how ridiculous it must have sounded. Now, thanks to the Washington Post, there’s audio of one of…
A small group of conservatives, who have been watching in horror as people who are not white straight men enjoy the same constitutional protections and benefits, are reportedly planning for a “battle” at the national convention. Ironic, in that they’re finally fighting for minorities—themselves.
For the California primary, Donald Trump has selected several people to represent him as delegates. One of those delegates is William Johnson, a famous white nationalist Trump was forced to disavow in January over a series of racist robocalls. But that was then and this is now: “I can be a white nationalist and be a…
Some of Donald Trump’s former friends and acquaintances this week felt compelled to describe him as a business-and-family-oriented man who would never objectify a woman, which he of course would never do now that he’s courting Hillary’s voters. One particular argument to that effect, volunteered by Trump’s former…
This morning, Donald Trump called in to CNN for an interview, where he proceeded to blithely bend New Day anchor Chris Cuomo to his will for almost 19 minutes.
Here’s Donald Trump at his desk, doing what he does best: Pandering to a group of people he’d previously insulted. Featured alongside his thoughts on where the best taco bowls are made (Trump Tower) and who he loves (Hispanics), is a photograph of his ex-wife in a bikini, spread open on his desk. Life is such a rich…
On Tuesday night Mary Pat Christie stood onstage behind Donald Trump and dutifully smiled along with all the inane remarks he made, as is her obligation as Chris Christie’s wife. Her eyes told a different story.
Donald Trump, who has until now run a campaign almost entirely free of professionals, is beginning to pad out his staff with his former rivals’ sloppy seconds.
Corey Lewandowski may no longer be facing criminal prosecution for his March 10 encounter with Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields, but charges that he is a real asshole are still pending.
On Tuesday, the #NeverTrump PAC posted an attack ad on Youtube accusing Donald Trump of stealing $150,000 of taxpayer money intended to help small businesses recover from the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. The ad is pretty much correct, but didn’t mention Trump’s other, weirder post-9/11 financial activity: a…
Several delegates in Indiana say they were threatened and harassed by Donald Trump supporters after giving interviews about their preferences to Politico this week.
Speaking to a group of liberal donors Monday, David Brock—the Clinton loyalist and political operative behind Media Matters—claimed to have opposition research on Donald Trump so damning that it will “knock Trump Tower down to the sub-basement.”
Since endorsing Donald Trump in March, Ben Carson has been seemingly unable to give an interview in support of Trump without insulting him, a delightful trend that shows no sign of stopping.
If Donald Trump seems like the kind of guy who, if he were perhaps a little less wealthy, might put a brick in an iPad box and try to sell it out the back of his car to a guy he found on Craigslist, that’s because he basically is: that scheme shares its general operating principle with the plan he articulated over the…
Historically, America’s unironic pinney-wearers, people who know all the lyrics to “Sweet Caroline,” and 19 year-olds named Chad have had only the stories their dads told them about Ronald Reagan and Chuck Norris jokes to inspire them each election cycle. But this year, in Donald Trump, lacrosse players and beer-pong…
Ben Carson’s tepid endorsement of Donald Trump is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Each time he appears on Trump’s behalf to argue the case for a Trump presidency, he drives the point home a little further—not even Trump’s official supporters can muster real enthusiasm for an orange, white and blue America.
Donald Trump’s rallies generally boil down to three main points: He’s going to build a wall, Mexico’s going to pay for it, and he’s going to waterboard a bunch of terrorists. It’s hard to imagine any of those things actually happening, but the CIA says the waterboarding plan is 100 percent off the table.
Primary rules and regulations have flummoxed the Donald Trump campaign to the point of hiring an actual campaign professional, a pervasive negligence that apparently reached inside Trump’s gilded home—only one of the Trump kids actually bothered to register to vote in the New York primary.
