Donald Trump says "I am Batman," harmless or arrogance?

[rsexaminer]

Well isn't that some statement to make. If there was ever a time to hope that the Joker would come around...

(REALLY sorry about this happening to the REAL batman. )

13. yup. n/t

[lumberjack_jeff]

2. Everyone should already know that he's a caricature. n/t

7. What's disturbing is the appeal he has for sooooo many in this country.

Like. What the hell is wrong with those people?

12. I'm old enough to remember when people thought Archie Bunker was all that.

But in their defense, they kind of understood that he wasn't a real person.

3. Egomania n/t

4. I think he was just goofing around with a kid

It was the kid who asked him if he was Batman. He just agreed with the kid. I thought it was kinda cute. For all I know there may be a history of Trump, a denizen of Gotham City (New York) calling himself Batman but since I've never been able to stomach even 30 seconds of The Apprentice or any previous Trump appearances on daytime gossip shows on TV, I don't know.

9. I have to agree with this.

I am not a Donald fan at all, but he was playing with a little kid.

11. Me too eom

5. More delusional . More like Birdman IMO

But Birdman wore a toupee

[big_dog]

16. Birdman! k&r

[Shandris]

6. Ignorable. Only one Batman story today, and it's quite sad.

(But for what it's worth, I think both. He probably believes it, which makes it arrogant...and it's ultimately harmless, because...just imagine Batman in a toupee, okay? )

Edit: NINJA'D by the first reply! That'll teach me to take a month to type up a post.

8. Insanity posing as narcissism.

[lpbk2713]

10. He might be having fun right now.

But when it's time for the convention people will be saying "Trump who?" .

[Monk06]

14. If he was a five year old boy it would be charming. But in a President it shows a dangerous lack of

maturity.

Mind you there's Vladimir Putin, the International Man of Action.

Trump and Puti would make good comic book adversaries if life was a comic book

[alphafemale]

15. He was playing with a kid.

Trying to make that something bigger is a fail.

There are legitimate reasons to attack Trump on.

Goofing around with a kid?

Nope.

17. The real batman got killed

Over the weekend. His bat mobile broke down and he was killed when he got out on the side of the road.

RIP batman
