Is Donald Trump secretly batman?

No seriously hear me out.

I have NEVER seen such a bigoted candidate. There is no way he is for real. is he? I don't remember him being like this 10-15 ish years ago. From calling Hispanics rapists and murders to forcing Muslims to wear ID badges. Are you freaking kidding me? For all the phony Hitler comparisons that get throw around Donald Trump is the one person who is LITERALLY following what Hitler did. Now with him calling to stop all Muslims coming to the country this is just to ridiculous to take seriously. he has to be playing the right wing to win the nomination and then drop out afterwords to permanently screw the party right? Not the hero the USA deserves but the hero it needs right now?

Or maybe its just some silly pipe dream I have because off all the completely insane things he has said and its me just hoping hes an elaborate troll.

On the other side he could be darth vader and decided to completely embrace the dark side for power.

Ugh. someone please wake me up.

and possibly WWIII?

And therefore this is all meant to draw the nuts to one side and clear the path for Hillary?

I am believing it more and more especially if he goes 3rd party

Trump is a criminal, big time, but I never thought of him being this much of a bigot and racist.

The birther thing was for attention, I think.

just all the outrageous stuff he says makes part of me think he may be some undercover troll. It doesn't even further the conservative agenda (ie lets lower taxes to 10% and remove all forms of welfare it will make everyone rich) Hes just name calling. He's certainly riled up the far far right. But he will lose in a landslide in the general election.

He loves to be the center of controversy. I am beginning to think that he is just enjoying the notoriety. What is frightening is the fact that there are so many people that seem to be responding to his racist rants.

xenophobes even if he is doing it as a troll. Jean Le Pen did the same in France for decades. He never was very successful electorally but the hate he spewed festered and is now helping his daughter win elections.

I keep trying to suppress it, but if he ran, voter turnout would be HUGE.

I figure he was close when he said he would wipe out the families of the terrorists. I guess Farook Sayid's brother who is a US Navy Veteran would have to go under the Trump Doctrine.

To exploit people's fears of Muslims.

Step 1: Call for some outrageous policy against Muslims (registry, ban on immigration)
Step 2: Sane people condemn
Step 3: Terrorists attack
Step 4: "I was right all along, my critics are naive appeasers"
Step 5: Turnout

It's a disgusting strategy. It keeps him in the news while his opponents are mostly invisible.

He's saying the crazy things that many Republican voters have been thinking for the longest time. By dragging their lunatic opinions into the spotlight and, through his poll numbers, showing how much support there is behind those lunatic opinions, he'll deliver the Presidency to the Democrats on a silver platter and do long-lasting, perhaps irreversible, damage to the GOP.
