Trump to blacks: System rigged against me

Eliza Collins, USA TODAY
1:39 p.m. EDT July 13, 2016

... O’Reilly asked the presumptive Republican nominee what his message would be to African Americans who “who believe that the system is biased against them. The American system because they're black, they don't get the same kind of shot, they don't get the same kind of fairness that whites do.”

“I have been saying even against me the system is rigged when I ran ... for president, I mean, I could see what was going on with the system and the system is rigged,” Trump responded ...

Trump can only relate to other peoples problems by making a false equivalency to his own perceived problems.

A noun. a verb, an adverb, and the word RIGGED. Giuliani did a similar verbal overkill years ago with his rapid-fire references to 9/11.

How was the system rigged against him? He was allowed in all the debates, allowed on all the ballots for which he qualified, and allowed to make his case for the Republican nomination.

If the system was rigged it was rigged for Donald Trump. No other candidate was given as much free media time as Trump. It appears no other candidate was allowed to conduct as many call in interviews as Trump. Finally, some news anchors went far softer on Trump than they did on other candidates.

More and more it seems like Trump was one of those kids who had everything he wanted given to him either right when he asked for it, or very shortly after he asked for it. Trump acts like he has never been told no, or never been told to wait for something. If he does not get his way he runs off crying like a baby.
