He's got two colognes too..."Success" and "Empire".

Penn Jillette wrote about his ill-advised turn on Celebrity Apprentice:

I got fired for coming up with the slogan “You Earned It.” They thought that slogan was “pompous.” My slogan for a perfume with Donald’s picture on it called “Success” was deemed pompous. Wow. The problem was my audience, I think. “You Earned It” isn’t good for the Trumps. It should have been “You Inherited It.”

I still can't get over the fact he missed the oportunity to call the best card in his board game "the trump card".

Doing so would activate my trap card

What's weird about saying 2 Corinthians? That's usually how I see it in Bibles and hear it spoken.

It's typically written 2 Corinthians, but I've ALWAYS heard it read "Second Corinthians", not "Two Corinthians".

Otherwise you'd have books like "Two Samuel" and "Three John" and "One Kings". The long form would be to say "From the Second Book of Corinthians," but the conventional short form would be "Second Corinthians,"

[Loud Whispers]

It's the Second Epistles to the Corinthians, not the Two Epistles to the Corinthians

Where you hear Corinthians Two is from where they're referring to a line in Corinthians

Rumor has it that Sarah Palin will endorse Trump tonight.

That would be a big deal.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump warned that he would force Apple, the U.S.'s most profitable company, to manufacture all of its products in the U.S. if he is elected president in November 2016.

Seriously? That's more straight-up insane than building the Mexico wall. At least you can throw money at the wall and make it a thing. You know what? Forget the wall completely, and give Apple tax breaks to make it's products in Mexico. Mexico is much more likely to cough up money for that than for a wall, and it curbs the immigration issue.

Trump has a lot of policies which can't be described as anything other than straight-up fascism. He's certainly more scary than Bush was.

He's also said about a 35% tax, which sounds really extreme. I get it that he wants to bring American jobs back and stop the outsourcing, but the reasons for outsourcing are many, such as the supply chain. Seems like it would be easier to get jobs back here by rewarding rather than punishing.

Also, this is a bit old (from the 8th), but still: http://www.cnbc.com/2016/01/08/after-uk-germans-call-for-trump-ban.html

The UK parliament actually just had their debate, but there was no vote and it sounded like they mainly agreed that it's not the right way to deal with it and would rather throw classic British ridicule at Trump.

Theres also this juicy bit from http://www.politico.eu/article/the-9-best-moments-from-the-uks-donald-trump-debate/

"“When he got divorced some time ago, his first wife said that he used to stay up at night reading Hitler’s Mein Kampf,” Robinson said."

I'm a bit surprised nobody has picked that up for an attack ad (to my knowledge, though the democrats have probably stored the information for future use), but of course though, it's kind of a 'I heard from a friend of a friend' fact and not proveable.

Would be pretty interested in knowing how much of the labor he outsources to other countries in his own businesses too.

Rumor has it that Sarah Palin will endorse Trump tonight.

This has all the same overtones of the Bride of Frankenstein teaming up with Dracula to finally slay Flash Gordon once and for all.

BERN! Aa-aaaah, savior of the universe!

That what you're saying?

I think you mean the contractors, he is in real estate.

Also, Kasich is having a sudden surge in NH. Though we'll have to see how that holds up in other polls because one commentor on HuffPost pollster said that it's a shaky poll, so....

He's in a lot of things including a failed airline business, so yes he has business dealings in manufacturing as well as real estate & service.
