In his victory speech, Trump spoke in the much-promised “presidential” style, and the big news is that when Donald Trump is being presidential he is incredibly boring.
.. This is not going to work over the long run. Trump can’t deal with an unresponsive audience. His entire platform is constructed around big applause lines. Last year when he announced his candidacy, the crowd roared when he brought up Mexican rapists. If they’d gone crazy when he mentioned leaf removal, his campaign would have been all about mulching.
.. Except there was no evidence the two men knew each other, were ever in the same place at the same time, or … well, you know. National Enquirer.
“That was reported, and nobody talks about it,” Trump said indignantly.
.. I could remind you that the first Republican presidential candidate, John Charles Frémont, was accused of being a cannibal.
