Trump: "Al Sharpton came to my office during the presidential campaign to apologize for..."

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Al Sharpton would always ask me to go to his events. He would say, “it’s a personal favor to me.” Seldom, but sometimes, I would go. It was fine. He came to my office in T.T. during the presidential campaign to apologize for the way he was talking about me. Just a conman at work!

Rev. Al has done more uplifting this morning than you have even attempted in your whole miserable life!

Deal with it and resign your office.

...and I assume he'll continue to do so, as long as he gets away with it.

Rev. Al will have his own way of dealing with this. He has influence that is not necessarily front and center in the daily news cycle. Trump tends to seek out victims that he feels are incapable of fighting back. That's not Rev. Al.

You know the word he is thinking...
You know that he is using it liberally when there is no one around (or he THINKS no one is there)...

It is coming. An unhinged verbal rant caught on a hot mic or phone.
He can't avoid it much longer.

..."LOCK HER UP" turned into "SEND THEM BACK"...what's the next crowd chant going to be?

And if he can manipulate them into doing that, he can do the same thing he did with "SEND THEM BACK"...say that he didn't like it, and then started speaking very quickly. After letting it play out for 13 seconds.

Trump says I’m a troublemaker & con man. I do make trouble for bigots. If he really thought I was a con man he would want me in his cabinet.


Also...


Rev. Al Sharpton and former RNC Chairman Michael Steele plan to hold a news conference today to address Trump's comments about Baltimore.
