Trump To Sell His Family As The New Kennedys At Reelection Launch
Trump will be continuing his push to sell his family to America as the new Kennedys at his reelection campaign launch in Florida.
Trump to drag his whole family to Florida
ABC News reported, Donald Trumps official campaign kickoff on Tuesday night in Orlando, Florida, will showcase the president and Vice President Mike Pence, along with Trumps adult children, campaign officials told ABC News. Amid flourishes, such as a convention-style balloon drop, there will be the implicit message that whats being sold is not just Trump, but his family. First lady Melania, Ivanka, her husband Jared Kushner, Don. Jr. and Eric are their own political celebrities now visiting royalty in the United Kingdom and part of the package that the president is offering up for a second term.
Trump thinks that the Trumps are the new Kennedys
Trump proclaimed his wife Melania to be the new Jackie O. during an interview on Fox News. It has been reported that the Trump kids went on the trip to the UK because the president is trying to package his family as American royalty like the Kennedys. Trump isnt JFK. Melania isnt Jackie O., and his children will never be held in the same regard as the Kennedys.
No one is going to buy a family that is so cold and distant from one another to be the Kennedys. The Trumps will never be beloved. They will never be liked. The American people can smell deceit and corruption a mile away, and the Trumps may be the most criminal family unit to ever occupy the White House.
Most Americans dont like Trumps family, so trying to rebrand them as the new Kennedys is a sick joke that is only going to make the majority of the country dislike them more.

So, the royalty rubbed off on the kids, too? We knew Trump believed he was king, but this is too much.
At least the queen and her family can have a good chuckle. I don't find it very funny.

(5,412 posts)if there is one American family that is hated by trump fans it is the kennedys.
maybe this is, finally, the insanity that severs trump from his deplorable base.

Huh. I am not seeing the resemblance.

Good one! More like the new Gambino Crime Family. And, I hope they follow the Gambinos to prison, too. A few of them wound up in ADX Florence. May we all get to see Trump enjoy its big, beautiful walls, too.

They will join the ranks of crime families who couldnt.

(68 posts)Since I read about Trump trying to compare his wife to Jackie O a day or so ago, when I read this headline, I stopped reading after "Family" and asked myself, "Who the H*ll would buy them, and how much does he think he can get for them! (And yes, if the price were high enough, I do, indeed, think he would literally sell his family.)

(9,895 posts)I LOVE the fact that he is a constantly miserable son of a bitch. It warms my heart to know that he cannot draw ANY enjoyment unless EVERYONE is praising him and as soon as he gets that whiff of reality that NO ONE really likes or respects him, it ruins his day!
Fuck Trump and all things tainted by association with his name....forever!

Iterate
(3,020 posts)which is a trait he shares with the fundies. When you don't have education, courage, class, or valor, you steal it and diminish it's value.
In my book, it earns him a new nickname, the Malformed Parasite.
Be done, and bury him in a toxic waste dump.

I want that asshole to die by fast food, lack of exercise, a second Viagra, and a rough sex hooker.
I'll never forget the fuss when Ronald Reagan was shot.
That was an utterly obscene puke fest.
The only good that came of it was the Brady Campaign, which has been all but disavowed by modern gun masturbating shit hole rat republicans.

Solly Mack
(90,773 posts)He needed that UK visit to bring it into full play is all.
He has presented his family in dynastic terms for awhile now. He once said Ivanka would be hard to beat for president.
People should note he didn't call Melania the next Barbara Bush or Laura Bush - a republican political family, considered a dynasty by some, and certainly one in their own minds.
Instead he is seeking the glamour and celebrity that surrounded the Kennedys. He wants the outward tributes - the cheering, the adoration, the admiration, the love.
He doesn't want to do the good works or to experience the suffering.
