Not surprising considering he sent pictures of his fingers to someone that made a comment about them for over 20 years.
He's an overgrown child with a sociopathic sense of pettiness.
Pretty much he makes his points like an uneducated frat boy that never goes to class which is why he's appealing to a lot of uneducated individuals. Chart shows.

"Trump responds to Brussels attack by insulting the ‘city’ of Belgium — and calling for torture"
"Donald Trump wasted no time launching off the terrorist attacks in Brussels on Tuesday morning to advocate for waterboarding, a method of torture that simulates drowning.
Speaking on the TODAY Show, Trump, the GOP front-runner, spoke to the hosts by phone about the suicide bombings in the Belgian capital that left dozens dead and hundreds injured.
Trump was asked what he would do to get information out of Salah Abdeslam, the chief suspect in the terror attacks on Paris last year. He was captured by Belgian police earlier this week.
"Frankly, waterboarding, if it was up to me, and if we change the laws or have the laws, waterboarding would be fine,” Trump said. “We work within laws. They don’t work within laws. They have no laws. The waterboarding would be fine and if they could expand the laws, I would do a lot more than waterboarding.”
Many experts say torture, which is illegal, yields unreliable information.
When host Matt Lauer pointed out that the Belgian justice system is handling Abdeslam, Trump went on to say that he believed Abdeslam should be turned over to military custody by Belgian police.
"That’s okay, I mean he’s being held by whoever. Let the military take him over, they have to get their act together,” Trump said. He continued to bash Belgium. “Belgium is no longer Belgium. Belgium is not the Belgium that you and I knew, Matt, from 20 years ago, which was one of the most beautiful cities and one of the safest cities in the world. Belgium is a horror show right now."

I have seen people like that when people warmed up to them and you know what happened?
It is now 2016 and they voted AGAINST protecting childs from molesting in here.
The same council gave rights to women in 30's before almost any european country.
If Trump wins same thing will happen there. Gay marriage will be banned by 2017, women rights will be very limited, people will be able to discriminate minorities using the excuse of religion.
Some people will say you are riddiculus Melih but it always starts like this and if that garbage is selected you can see all these happening soon. I hope it doesnt happen because i want this world to move forward not backwards.

He cant run on that stance or he will definitely lose and to say he's is effectively gonna reverse a landmark supreme court judgement gives an idea how little he knows about the constitution.
After the interview, the Trump campaign released a statement from the candidate saying: “This issue is unclear and should be put back into the states for determination. Like Ronald Reagan, I am pro-life with exceptions, which I have outlined numerous times.”
He's now backing down.

Donald Trump’s ex-wives speak out on “forced abortions”
INTERNET — Saturday, Donald Trump’s ex-wives came forward with shocking stories of the bombastic Republican presidential candidate’s multiple abortions, alleging he coerced them into aborting when they wanted to keep their babies.
Trump’s first wife, Ivana, told reporters, “He was obsessed with having unprotected sex with me at all moments of the day, and I got pregnant ten times during our marriage. The first time he just scowled and said ‘you’re getting an abortion’ even though I wanted to keep the baby. I had no choice at all. He wouldn’t even pull out.”
Amidst tears, Ivana explained her reason for coming forward, “I knew I had to say something when Donald was on TV saying his views on abortion had evolved because he knew a man who was not aborted. That man is his own son, who he wanted to abort so badly that he gave me a black eye. But I kept three of my babies, mostly by lying to him, and he resented it so much he left me for Marla.”
Trump’s next wife, Marla Maples, met up with Ivana Trump after the debate to talk about their ex-husband’s love for abortion. “I used to hate Ivana but we went through the same meat grinder. I always asked Donald to wear a condom because I didn’t want to get pregnant, but he hated them and called them ‘cocksocks.’ I always felt like he enjoyed it when he’d get me pregnant and take me to Planned Parenthood, and Ivana said she went through the same thing. He definitely took pleasure in aborting his babies. But now we know how much a fetus is worth, and how he always wanted more and more sex when he was losing money. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he was reinvesting the abortion profits into real estate, but that’s taking it easy on him. There was probably no money in it at all, just a carnal urge to desecrate a woman’s body and kill her unborn babies. Megyn Kelly has no clue how much that sicko hates women. He forced abortions out of us when we wanted to keep our babies. He’s not pro-choice or pro-life, he’s pro-death.”

^ That was a fake story
A fake news article reported that Donald Trump's ex-wives had disclosed he pressured them into undergoing unwanted abortions.
...
There was no truth to the report, however. The Internet Chronicle is a fake news web site that does not publish factual stories. While the web site does not explicitly state that its content is fabricated news, the site's "About Us" section makes the humorous nature of the Internet Chronicle clear

At best, he's only going to get the nomination and that's looking a bit dicey at the moment due to Cruz's resurgence.
If Trump gets nominated then he'll be a free win for the Democrats, I'm kinda hoping he does get the nom just to cement the Democrats' victory. The winner of the election is dependent on the swing states and there's no way that Donald Trump will appeal to them because they tend to be more moderate.

Trump isn't as extreme as ted cruz. Trump will move slightly more to the middle if he wins. He doesn't advocate any social security cuts, he wants to put more into mental health. He wants to increase tariffs on the Chinese dumping. He doesn't take a penny from corporations, none these are not far right policies. He didn't support the illegal Iraqi invasion, Clinton did. Clinton is a corporate lackey with dozens of backers, she will simply oversee the massive worldwide corporate takeover with the TTIB

People will see Trump as the more extreme of the two though due to the controversy around him. Despite being as bad, Cruz is seen as the lesser of two evils.
Either way, they'll both get destroyed by the Democrats, it's just that Trump will be easier to annihilate.

I think cruz will give Hillary a close challenge..I think Bernie would beat both.
Clinton is evil, a very divisive , corrupt , corporate lackey and warwonger. I don't even trust her with the health insurance. No doubt Ill be told im being sexist again. ha. how sexist is it to bomb a country illegally on a pack of lies, lest we forget over a million innocents died and over half a million of them were women. that's what I call real politik sexism. a damn sight worse than any other version. She is also profoundly sexist herself getting madeleine allbright to say, any woman who doesn't back a woman goes to hell. Now that is offensive and sexist but in the current climate of double standards she gets away with it.
as for trump. lets break this down what is the craziest thing he has said?
1) hes been demanding we raise tariffs on Chinese steel for a decade. right or wrong? RIGHT
2) Hes the ONLY candidate who has discussed the 10 million+ illegal immigrants coming in from mexico? there is no border there is no defence, do a lot of them bring massive crime and drugs. YES. Not all, but a lot and saying they should have their paperwork checked and brought in legally is RIGHT
3) the Jihadi threat. We in Europe has 1000s of jihadis amongst us. we have open borders, the Schengen agreement means these terrorists are not even checked, we don't even have competent intelligence in many EU nations, we have had infinitely more terrorist attacks than America as a result of our insane policies and insane leadership. Trump has called for a temporary shutdown on muslims entering the usa until the government can work out what the hell is going on. Ok totally unreasonable an a soundbite to win the far right, everyone knows that. BUT massively increasing our checks on people entering the country he is 100% RIGHT again. The 1st rule of government is to protect the people.
4) Increase military funding to wipe out ISIS and stopping arming rebels we don't know , RIGHT.
5) Refusing corporate handouts for his election campaign, like Bernie, 100% RIGHT
6) raising taxes on the richest, RIGHT
7) Keeping social security as it is in line with inflation, RIGHT
8) Increase spending on mental health to counter violence and gun violence
9) Increase spending on the police and nati terrorism budget, RIGHT
Other candidates have simply buried their heads in the political sands whilst the whole world goes up in smoke
ok so whats he been wrong about?
He thinks obamacare should be replaced with a more efficient system,
sounds like a nightmare. No doubt with 40 odd million extra patients on the government programme you will have masses of waste and over burocracy and premiums are still too high and hurt the smaller businesses. again it would be interesting to actually hear these arguments instead of the utter nonsense weve heard on all sides about hands and trumps hair etc and hillarys false indignation. everyone is avoiding the issues.
He thinks the extra funding for mental health, police, anti terror and crime budgets will help reduce gun crime. But he supports the 2nd amendment fully and argues guns also help fight criminals and protect the good people. We are too smug on guns in Europe. I hate guns but whilst gun deaths are way lower in Europe as we always hear, the actual figures on violent crime , drug related theft are astonishingly higher in the UK and Europe. at 100ss of times the rate of the USA> reading between the lines, something we don't too because of our hysterical media, a vast number fo violent crimes, thefts, drug related crime are stopped by guns in America....so overall I think he is more WRONG ON THIS.
Abortion. he was hoodwinked there. he doesn't like abortion , who does? millions of babies terminated before they get a chance to live. Now what he was saying is he will tighten the laws around abortion and support people with other options. Of course ,rape , incest, health complications are exceptions. But he doesn't want to finance abortion, he wants to change the fact many parents, women especially feel rushed or pressured and without options on abortion and regret it afterwards.
The vast majority of abortions are down to the womans financial situation. So why not help with that? In many cases they feel they haven't got the finances to support a child. There are many other options such as fostering and adopting children. The radical feminists say its patronising to women to suggest they don't think it though etc That false outrage is offensive and damaging. we are talking sometimes about teenage girls, some with health, poor, drugs, alcoholic, mental health related issues or simply poorly educated. Isnt it sensible to support such women, with as much time and support as possible so they can look at and understand all options open to them and the father of their unborn child? Abortion has become far too populist imo hence why we have record numbers of late abortions. The feminists can say what they like about the womens choice to abort, but what about the womens right to not abort? the rights of the unborn child and the fathers too?
He said under pressure yes there must be punishment if a woman aborts a child illegally. Then he changed his mind and said the doctor would be charged if he aborted a baby outside of the laws. That IS the case in the UK and everywhere else? if you abort after 24 weeks, the doctor will be punished. so why the hysteria?. Abortion should be legal up to a point. But 24 weeks is obscene....millions of healthy babies are born before 24 weeks. I think the radical feminist take on this is horrific. Anyone who suggests anything to encourage fewer abortions and support parents and women into looking at all options is seen as woman hating? what a a pile of absolute nonsense.
saldy like most things with political correctness, all discussion dies along with millions of innocent unborn babies

That kind of over the top language of the left is also just as dangerous, theyre calling everying racist now, when the reality is we are under massive threat from radical jihadis and illegal immigration. The real underlying problem is the fact we are still arming so called rebels in the middle east and the weapons are then flaling into the hands of ISIS al Qaeda Taliban and whatever other names these radical terrorists have

new york women are the smartest women in the world, they recognise the truth. trump talks from the heart, trump will protect the public, trump will say what he really thinks, trump will protect social security, trump will protect the american industries and slap tariffs on the rubbish chinese steel being illegally dumped on the american market, trump will dare to talk about the most difficult topics other spineless politicians will avoid. as for you disagreeing with everything I say, did hillary vote for the illegal iraq invasion? is she backed by loads of corporations? is she paid a fortune by these corporations for speeches? has she said like trump she will defend social security? has she said we should increase tariffs on chinese steel? is she responsible for the benghazi cock ups and lies? is she partly responsible for the disaster left behind in libya? the rise of isis after the illegal invasion of iraq? the email fiasco? the implication that democratic race wasnt over in 2008 as assassinations have happened before? classy lady etc etc

it is rather bizarre how he does well in that hypothetical match up, but its irrelevant. kasich is pretty uninspiring imo. he hasnt been scrutinised like trump either. they all have some skeletons in their closets
trump will close the gap on hilary over time as she has such an horrific record. The main problem he will have is the corporate and political corruption that drives clintons campaign. he is up against a massive machine here that has been in place for decades

Hmm, I hear what you are saying but for me I think probably a fair Number of USA politicians have skeletons in the cupboard.
Trump I fear make a further fool of himself and his party if he takes on Hilary Clinton as you describe.

So it's a wait and see game I guess for all.I have to disagree. I dont see how Hillary can counter the accusation that she takes so much money from donors. Especially if the person asking is someone who has given her money. *Its all true and she has to admit it.
Money in politics is one of Trumps main election issues and probably his only real election issue. Trump merely needs to imply that he gave money to Hillary for a few favours, and that she did those favours, and her already high unfavorables get even higher. I dont think Hillary beats Trump as easily as many people think
I'm also not sure the investigation can be dismissed so easily. The information already gained had caused even further investigations. IF they keep digging who knows what they'll find. So once agan it looks like the Clintons are hiding something.

I'm not sure who I'd prefer between Hillary and Trump if I'm being brutally honest. I think both are poor candidates for the job with far too much baggage. The way Bernie Sanders has been shut out is rather frightening considering his impeccable records and Hillary very suspect record. I think this election has shown the Clintons are a political machine with many establishment friends but little in the way of public support from non-establishment people.

totally agree , bernie looked a great candidate with a masisve record bcking up his positions of integrity....the clinton machine just mowed him down and bought out the delegates too.
Trump can beat her. He will move slightly to the centre. he is left of centre already on keeping welfare as it is, on rewarding soldiers with better pensions on raising tariffs and not appeasing corporate control of the senate and the white house
In many ways trump is even left of hillary, who of course has destroyed the middle east and is so 100% beholden to israel is makes my stomach churn...she is devoid of diplomacy she simply reads the cliches off the autocue ....without the script she would be lost. He is being tainted wrongly by the usual feminazis. but this time women, younger women especially are not falling for this token feminism anymore
he needs to tell her these home truths, the crowd need to stop scremaing and let them get down deep and dirty to get to the damn truth....the world will be infinitely more dangerous under clinton....ttip will corporate takeover europe...the middle east will go up in smoke, the gap between rich and poor will soar to all time record levels and the economy will probably stagnate....and of course none of this will help women either

Bombshell Poll: Nearly 20% Of Republicans Will Vote For Hillary Clinton If Trump Wins
http://15130-presscdn-0-89.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/clinton-trump-701x526.jpg
A new Suffolk University poll has found that 19% of Republicans say they will support Hillary Clinton if Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination.
A new Suffolk University poll has found that 19% of Republicans say they will support Hillary Clinton if Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination.
The poll (http://www.suffolk.edu/documents/SUPRC/4_25_2016_tables.pdf) contained some numbers that should terrify Republicans. 40% of Republicans polled said that they would not support the party’s nominee if Donald Trump wins. 25% of the anti-Trump Republican vote would consider voting for a third party candidate. 19% of the never Trump Republicans would vote for Hillary Clinton, and 18% would stay home and not vote at all. By gender, 10% of men, and 9% of Republican women would vote for Clinton over Trump. 18% of very likely Republican general election voters would support Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.
These numbers provide just a hint of the potential devastation that nominating Donald Trump could bring to the Republican Party. If Trump’s disapproval ratings continue to climb, it is possible that he could lose half of the Republican electorate. Trump was known by 99% of the voters that were polled, so it is not likely that any kind of image makeover will be effective when he is already universally known.
The Republican Party is deeply fractured, and Donald Trump is not the candidate that will bring them together. Trump’s unpopularity will cause many Republicans to stay home, which will result in the GOP losing seats in both the House and the Senate. Trump could cost Republicans state legislatures and governor’s races across the country.
Donald Trump is a weapon of mass Republican destruction. The door is open for Hillary Clinton to build a gigantic general election coalition by attracting nearly 20% of Republicans to her campaign. One suspects that we are only beginning to scratch the surface of how bad a Donald Trump nomination will be for the Republican Party.

Poll shows that Millennials would flock to Clinton against Trump
WASHINGTON — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has expanded his double-digit lead among Millennials in the Democratic presidential race, but a new USA TODAY/Rock the Vote poll finds a way for Hillary Clinton to solve her generation gap: Donald Trump.
Opposition to Trump nearly unites the rising generation.
In a hypothetical Clinton v. Trump contest in November, voters under 35 would choose Clinton by a crushing 52%-19%, a preference that crosses demographic lines. Among whites, she'd be backed by nearly 2-1, 45%-26%. Among Hispanics, by more than 4-1, 61%-14%. Among Asian Americans, by 5-1, 60%-11%. Among African Americans, by 13-1, 67%-5%.
And the yawning gender gap she has against Sanders would vanish: Clinton would carry young men and women by almost identical margins of more than 2-1.
Nearly one in four Republicans would defect to the Democrats if the GOP nominated Trump against Clinton. Just 7% of Democrats would defect to the GOP.

Trump isn't as extreme as ted cruz. Trump will move slightly more to the middle if he wins. He doesn't advocate any social security cuts, he wants to put more into mental health. He wants to increase tariffs on the Chinese dumping. He doesn't take a penny from corporations, none these are not far right policies. He didn't support the illegal Iraqi invasion, Clinton did. Clinton is a corporate lackey with dozens of backers, she will simply oversee the massive worldwide corporate takeover with the TTIB

He won't, and I pray that he gets the nomination, because he will be destroyed for life going into a debate with Hillary Clinton. This idiot couldn't pass a basic civics test if his life depended upon it. He's the most hated man in the country. His own party can't stand him. He couldn't even run a simple business without running it into the ground. It will be glorious. In fact, the majority of Republicans are so angry with how much damage he's done to their party, they can't wait to see him debate Hillary and have him destroyed once and for all. It's going to be pathetic to witness. What she's going to do to him on that stage is going to be frightening. Mark my words. You do not want to debate this woman, and he can't put two and two together.

Listening to my family and friends in the States, no way do they believe Trump can get the votes needed to win the Presidency.
He would need certain sections of the USA citizenship who are totally alienated towards him.
However although I disagree with the criminal bit as to Hilary,I don't recall her being convicted or even charged with anything or even arrested on anything either,your other points have merit to them for sure.

Hmm I'd like to believe the USA wouldn't be stupid enough to vote for Trump but the primary season has already shown he has a lot of support and now the Republicans seem to be on board with him as their nominee.
I disagree that Hillary is a criminal but the polls have proven she's not very popular (http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/hillary-clinton-favorable-rating) and she has a lot of scandals dragging her down. Albeit Trump's is even more disliked and Hillary has experience on her side so I think she will most likely win, but it will probably be closer than we expect

There are disturbing videos on YT of her sipping champagne and smiling as she watches Gaddafi being publicly sodomised with a knife.
She's a war monger and she's a totalitarian wearing the mask of a liberal.

After Trump saying no Muslims would be allowed into the US if he was elected, I like how he offered Sadiq Khan special dispensation to enter... and Khan told him to shove it up his are. Not in so many words... but I like to think that's what he meant.

Trump is a buffoon but at least he's a maverick buffoon. Clinton is imo a far more dangerous person than Trump. This is the woman who wanted to totally obliterate Iran with nuclear weapons and gleefully contributed to the destruction of Libya and then held a party to celebrate the death of Colonel Gaddafi. There are disturbing videos on YT of her sipping champagne and smiling as she watches Gaddafi being publicly sodomised with a knife.
She's a war monger and she's a totalitarian wearing the mask of a liberal.
I've no doubt Clinton will be hailed the next American president and all I can say is, God help us all.
Yes im afraid she is awful. Shes also been bought by the multi nationals

Hillary's preferable to Trump. I doubt she'll rock the boat (she's too wishy washy to do so) but she'll see out her term and hopefully there'll be better candidates next time around.
Trump has no sense of democracy, he's childish and has thin skin and reacts in a volatile fashion to any kind of criticism. I'd rather have an unspectacular and forgettable president then someone like Trump who is bound to **** up spectacularly.

Its gonna be a fascinating election between two of the most unelectable, thin skinned people ever to run for office and I think it will be alot closer than people expect. Hillary accused lovely cuddly Bernie Sanders of sexism during the primaries I wonder whats she got in store for a real life sexist. The attacks are gonna be bloody on both sides so I cannot see a massive Clinton victory. By the time they get to elections then both sides will have been hit several times. Also, are people forgetting about the FBI investigation ? It now looks like Hillary not only had her own private e-mail account while secretary of state she actually had her own private server installed. The guy who installed it has been given immunity by the FBI and it has been confirmed by the FBI that all correspondence between him and Clinton have definitely been deleted. :think:
Apparently this is the candidate that s gonna p*ss it in November. We will all see.

Trump is starting to go back on many things said during the primaries. This is one; he had promised to release his tax return but apparently he's being audited again, the Muslim ban is now apparently only a suggestion and prosecutions for women seeking abortions was never his idea. Jon Stewart nailed in in the complete interview posted earlier when he says Trump is like a season one contestant on a new reality show. He's causing controversy and being outrageous knowing that its what the viewers want and will keep him in the show, then when we come to the final show down he'll show us what a nice guy he really is. Perfect observation IMO and the media and public are falling for it.

..I pretty much agree with that whole analysis of Hilary and I guess that it shows that she's not that popular a candidate at all because she really should be way out in the lead with someone like Trump...(I mean anyone should be out in the lead against Trump as was said..)...and especially someone like her who is so thoroughly 'establishment', it should be a walk in the park to her..but it's not, it's still very close and anyone's game ..which to me shows how disingenuous she is and not trusted by the people...to me, even if she wins, it'll still surely be a quite a loss to not have been so convincing through this against someone who is so awful and should never have been the contender that he's proving to be...

That is not the view of Hilary I have formed myself and from what I hear from my relatives and friends who reside in the USA.
I cannot see and hope not too,that Saunders supporters will not back the Democrat candidate.
I also hope with his flip flopping around now too as to trying to backtrack on much of his more offensive comments during his campaign, that Trump will be seen as to his word of not being trustworthy in the slightest.
He may well pick up successes in the more smaller States but I cannot see him taking the major States with all the numbers therein needed to become President.
I will still welcome Hilary Clinton any day of the week over Trump and his prejudices.
what it highlights again is that democracy is just an illusion in the USA. What is the point of having a democratic process to elect someone when ALL the candidates that are available are there because of their access to wealth.
Other countries are considered undemocratic when a leader comes to power by force or coercion and the USA mocks them. This in reality is no different

They need to limit private funding of xampaigns as we do. Otherwise it will get worse. Trump hasnt taken corporate backhanders like crooked Hilary. He's mostly self funded. So again he can claim moral highground over her

Donald Trump Is Less Popular With American Voters Than Literal Head Lice
Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee, yet he still manages to be unpopular with the majority of American voters. FiveThirtyEight has reported that Trump is "historically disliked," but according to a new poll from Public Policy Polling, Trump is less popular with registered voters than literal insects that live on the human scalp and feast exclusively on blood. In fact, in response to the question, "What do you have a higher opinion of, Donald Trump or lice?" 54 percent of respondents answered, "Lice."
But it's not just head lice — voters also have higher opinions of traffic jams, used-car salesmen, hipsters, the DMV, jury duty, Nickelback, and root canals than they do of Trump (although to be fair, he's only losing to Nickelback, used-car salesmen, and hipsters by single digits). And Trump is actually viewed more favorably than cockroaches and hemorrhoids at 46 to 42 percent and 45 to 39 percent, respectively.
However, that distinction disappears when voters are cordoned off by gender; amongst women, Trump is less favorable than both cockroaches and hemorrhoids by five and four points, respectively. This news might seem trivial on its own, but Trump has had a notably hard time winning over women voters, and as of last month, he was viewed unfavorably by 70 percent of women, according to Gallup. His gender gap is larger than any other candidate's.
Trump's numbers are bad, but the two Democratic candidates don't exactly have the best favorability ratings, either. The PPP poll notes that both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are seen as "unfavorable"; Sanders has a three-point setback while Clinton's favorability is down 19 points. Interestingly, however, Democrats polled said they would be more comfortable with Clinton as a potential nominee than with Sanders.

Donald Trump masqueraded as publicist to brag about himself
The voice is instantly familiar; the tone, confident, even cocky; the cadence, distinctly Trumpian. The man on the phone vigorously defending Donald Trump says he’s a media spokesman named John Miller, but then he says, “I’m sort of new here,” and “I’m somebody that he knows and I think somebody that he trusts and likes” and even “I’m going to do this a little, part time, and then, yeah, go on with my life.”
A recording obtained by The Washington Post captures what New York reporters and editors who covered Trump’s early career experienced in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s: calls from Trump’s Manhattan office that resulted in conversations with “John Miller” or “John Barron” — public-relations men who sound precisely like Trump himself — who indeed are Trump, masquerading as an unusually helpful and boastful advocate for himself, according to the journalists and several of Trump’s top aides.
In 1991, Sue Carswell, a reporter at People magazine, called Trump’s office seeking an interview with the developer. She had just been assigned to cover the soap opera surrounding the end of Trump’s 12-year marriage to Ivana, his budding relationship with the model Marla Maples and his rumored affairs with any number of celebrities who regularly appeared on the gossip pages of the New York newspapers.
Within five minutes, Carswell got a return call from Trump’s publicist, a man named John Miller, who immediately jumped into a startlingly frank and detailed explanation of why Trump dumped Maples for the Italian model Carla Bruni. “He really didn’t want to make a commitment,” Miller said. “He’s coming out of a marriage, and he’s starting to do tremendously well financially.”
Miller turned out to be a remarkably forthcoming source — a spokesman with rare insight into the private thoughts and feelings of his client. “Have you met him?” Miller asked the reporter. “He’s a good guy, and he’s not going to hurt anybody. . . . He treated his wife well and . . . he will treat Marla well.”
[Read the full text of the ‘John Miller’ interview (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/donald-trump-alter-ego-barron/2016/05/12/02ac99ec-16fe-11e6-aa55-670cabef46e0_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_no-name:homepage/story)]
Some reporters found the calls from Miller or Barron disturbing or even creepy; others thought they were just examples of Trump being playful. Today, as the presumptive Republican nominee for president faces questions about his attitudes toward women, what stands out to some who received those calls is Trump’s characterization of women whom he portrayed as drawn to him sexually.
“Actresses,” Miller said in the call to Carswell, “just call to see if they can go out with him and things.” Madonna “wanted to go out with him.” And Trump’s alter ego boasted that in addition to living with Maples, Trump had “three other girlfriends.”
Miller was consistent about referring to Trump as “he,” but at one point, when asked how important Bruni was in Trump’s busy love life, the spokesman said, “I think it’s somebody that — you know, she’s beautiful. I saw her once, quickly, and beautiful . . . ” and then he quickly pivoted back into talking about Trump — then a 44-year-old father of three — in the third person.
In 1990, Trump testified in a court case that “I believe on occasion I used that name.”
In a phone call to NBC’s “Today” program Friday morning after this article appeared online, Trump denied that he was John Miller. “No, I don’t think it — I don’t know anything about it. You’re telling me about it for the first time and it doesn’t sound like my voice at all,” he said. “I have many, many people that are trying to imitate my voice and then you can imagine that, and this sounds like one of the scams, one of the many scams — doesn’t sound like me.” Later, he was more definitive: “It was not me on the phone. And it doesn’t sound like me on the phone, I will tell you that, and it was not me on the phone. And when was this? Twenty-five years ago?”
Then, Friday afternoon, Washington Post reporters who were 44 minutes into a phone interview with Trump about his finances asked him a question about Miller: “Did you ever employ someone named John Miller as a spokesperson?”
The phone went silent, then dead. When the reporters called back and reached Trump’s secretary, she said, “I heard you got disconnected. He can’t take the call now. I don’t know what happened.”
Trump has never been terribly adamant about denying that he often made calls to reporters posing as someone else. From his earliest years in business, he occasionally called reporters using the name “John Barron.”
A “John Baron,” described as a “vice-president of the Trump organization,” appeared in a front-page New York Times article as early as 1980, defending Trump’s decision to destroy sculptures on the facade of the Bonwit Teller department store building, the Fifth Avenue landmark he was demolishing to make way for his Trump Tower. Barron was quoted variously as a “Trump spokesman,” “Trump executive” or “Trump representative” in New York magazine, The Washington Post and other publications.
Trump’s fascination with the name “Barron” persisted for decades. When he was seeing Maples while still married to Ivana, he sometimes used the code name “the Baron” when he left messages for her. In 2004, when Trump commissioned a dramatic TV series based on the life of a New York real estate mogul like him, his only request to the writer was to name the main character “Barron.” And when Trump and his third wife, Melania, had a son, they named him Barron.
In the 1991 recording, Miller sounded quite at ease regaling the reporter with tales of Trump hanging out with Madonna at a ball at the Plaza Hotel, which he owned at the time. Asked about the rumored Madonna-Trump friendship, Miller, unlike every other PR man on the planet, neither batted the question away nor gave it short shrift. Rather, he said, “Do you have a second?”
Carswell, the reporter, sounded a bit startled: “Yeah, obviously,” she replied.
Whereupon Miller offered a detailed account of the Trump encounter with Madonna, who “came in a beautiful evening gown and combat boots.” The PR man assured the reporter that nothing untoward occurred: “He’s got zero interest that night.”
Miller also revealed to Carswell why Trump seemed to relish any and all media coverage, even the most critical. “I can tell you that he didn’t care if he got bad PR until he got his divorce finished,” Miller said. The more the press wrote about Trump’s money troubles, the greater advantage he would have in negotiations toward a financial settlement with his then-estranged wife, Ivana. Then, “once his divorce is finished,” Miller said, you would see stories about how Trump was “doing well financially and he’s doing well in every other way.”
Carswell this week recalled that she immediately recognized something familiar in the Queens accent of Trump’s new publicist. She thought, “It’s so weird that Donald hired someone who sounds just like him.” After the 20-minute interview, she walked down the hall to play the tape to co-workers, who identified Trump’s voice. Carswell then called Cindy Adams, the longtime New York Post gossip columnist who had been close to Trump since the early 1970s. Adams immediately identified the voice as Trump’s.
“Oh, that’s Donald,” Carswell recalled Adams saying. “What is he doing?”
Then Carswell played the tape for Maples, who confirmed it was Trump and burst into tears as she heard Miller deny that a ring Trump gave her implied any intent to marry her.
Carswell, now a reporter-researcher at Vanity Fair, said the tape cuts off mid-interview, leaving out the part in which Miller said that actress Kim Basinger had been trying to date Trump. Hearing the tape for the first time in decades, Carswell said, “This was so farcical, that he pretended to be his own publicist. Here was this so-called billion-dollar real estate mogul, and he can’t hire his own publicist. It also said something about the control he wanted to keep of the news cycle flowing with this story, and I can’t believe he thought he’d get away with it.”
[Trump’s past crude sex talk collides with his White House bid]
The Post obtained the recording from a source who provided it on the condition of anonymity. Carswell shared the microcassette of the call with the source shortly after the interview.
From the start of his career as a builder in New York, Trump worked the press. He believed in carrots and sticks, showering reporters with praise, then pivoting to a threat to sue them if they wrote something he considered inaccurate. He often said that all publicity, good or bad, was good for his business.
He made himself available to reporters at nearly any time, for hours on end. And he called them, too, to promote his own projects, but also with juicy bits of gossip.
“One thing I’ve learned about the press is that they’re always hungry for a good story, and the more sensational the better,” Trump wrote in “The Art of the Deal,” his bestseller. “The point is that if you are a little different, or a little outrageous, or if you do things that are bold or controversial, the press is going to write about you.”
Trump did not describe using false identities to promote his brand, but he did write about why he strays from the strict truth: “I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion.”
Carswell was far from the only reporter who received calls from suspiciously Trumpian characters. Linda Stasi, then a New York Daily News gossip columnist, said Trump once left her a voice mail from an “anonymous tipster” who wanted it known that Trump had been spotted going out with models. And editors at New York tabloids said calls from Barron were at points so common that they became a recurring joke on the city desk.
After Carswell’s story appeared — headlined “Trump Says Goodbye Marla, Hello Carla . . . And a Mysterious PR Man Who Sounds Just Like Donald Calls to Spread the Story” — Trump invited the reporter out for a night on the town with him and Maples. Carswell said Maples persuaded Trump to issue the invitation as an apology for tricking her. A few weeks later, when People ran a story about Trump and Maples getting engaged, Trump was quoted saying that the John Miller call was a “joke gone awry.”
Carswell had been skeptical all along. On the recording, she challenged Miller: “Where did you come from?”
“I basically worked for different firms,” he replied cryptically. And then he marveled at his boss’s ability to withstand critical news coverage: “I’ve never seen somebody so immune to . . . bad press.”
Miller was also impressed by his client’s social life: “I mean, he’s living with Marla and he’s got three other girlfriends. ” But the PR man wanted the reporter to know that Trump believed in “the marriage concept” and planned to settle down, on his own terms: “He does things for himself. When he makes a decision, that will be a very lucky woman.”

“I basically worked for different firms,” he replied cryptically. And then he marveled at his boss’s ability to withstand critical news coverage: “I’ve never seen somebody so immune to . . . bad press.”
Miller was also impressed by his client’s social life: “I mean, he’s living with Marla and he’s got three other girlfriends. ” But the PR man wanted the reporter to know that Trump believed in “the marriage concept” and planned to settle down, on his own terms: “He does things for himself. When he makes a decision, that will be a very lucky woman.”

Trump is apparently starting on Cameron and Khan now.
What a disaster as a statesman he will be if he cannot take anyone disliking what he says.

Khan and Cameron have massive skeletons in their closets
at least trump is open with his views, these 2 are snakes
trump is also protecting his people against jihadis, Cameron and khan don't seem too bothered with open borders and 3.7 million net immigration in the last 10 years.

Donald Trump hits Bill Clinton with old rape allegation (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/05/18/donald-trump-invokes/84574954/)
The mud slinging has truly started. WIll the Clinton camp hit back with the old allegation that Trump raped Ivana?
You can't rape your spouse': Trump in new sex attack scandal after his lawyer offers outrageous defense against ex-wife Ivana's claims he 'violated' her (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3176878/Ivana-claimed-Donald-Trump-violated-violent-sex-attack-amid-argument-bald-patch-treatments.html)
I'm a bit surprised the campaigns have gone so ugly so early but I suppose this is how its gonna be. The policies were never gonna be the main topic of discussion with Trump and Clinton as the two main candidates.
