...having Donald Trump tell you what to do? Never.

He probably wants to be AG.

It would be about as bad as if someone gave Debbie Wasserman Schultz the job.

I hope that guy got out of there okay after that. This is what I expect from Trump and what I expect from his supporters.

Why Trump was his own imaginary spokesman John Barron for a decade

In the 1980s, when reporters called the Trump Organization to request an interview with the boss, they were sometimes referred to a spokesman, instead. That a busy and image-conscious executive such as Donald Trump would place a buffer between himself and the media was hardly unusual, but there was a twist: The spokesman, John Barron, was actually Trump, hiding behind a fake name.

Barron (also spelled “Baron” in some press accounts) appears to have been Trump’s go-to alias when he was under scrutiny, in need of a tough front man or otherwise wanting to convey a message without attaching his own name to it.

Remarkably, Trump kept up the charade for a full decade, as reporters unwittingly quoted Barron as if he were a real person. In a LexisNexis search, the first mention of the name appears on June 6, 1980, in a New York Times report about Trump’s controversial decision to destroy two Art Deco sculptures he had conditionally promised to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In that instance, Trump used the alias to stall for three days before finally giving an interview under his own name; when he did, he told the Times he had been out of town and unavailable (!).

about the sculptures that he destroyed which were priceless. Sounds much like the the tyrants of past wars who took pleasure in destroying precious artwork owned by their enemies. Oddly, Trump doesn't need an enemy to pillage and plunder. He'd just as soon do it to his own country, his own home town.

...an older Republican/teabagger who is close to retiring who doesn't have future ambitions that'll be farooked up by a landslide loss in a presidential election!

PEACE!
