Aides: Trump Didn’t Even Realize Republican Convention Had to Be in Cleveland

[DonViejo]

According to his own aides, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump did not even realize when planning the Republican National Convention that the event had to be Cleveland.

The New York Times has a piece Friday morning detailing Trump’s extravagant demands and notions about the upcoming convention. However, Trump’s plans were at many times stymied by a complete lack of understanding of the convention process. “At one point, two aides confirmed, Mr. Trump was not even aware that the event had to be held in Cleveland, a decision made almost two years ago by the Republican National Committee,” they report.

Among Trump’s other more unfeasible plans was renting out an open-air stadium to ride a helicopter onto the main stage, or firing off fireworks inside the venue. Both ideas were unfortunately axed for being too expensive and “unworkable” respectively.

A more feasible suggestion was that Trump enter Cleveland by train, but Trump nixed that one. “It’s been done,” he complained.

1. or he could gave come down on a zipline...

like boris johnson..

[JaneyVee]

2. What a freaking moron.

[Hortensis]

20. Yes, but it was good for a laugh, and now another.

What a freaking moron. Can you imagine students reading some of this stuff in, say, college history books some day?

[unblock]

3. why not enter on an escalator?

[Cooley Hurd]

4. His bubble doesn't extend beyond his ears...

...because of that, not ONLY is he unfit for the Presidency, he's unfit to even cross a street on his own.

[Salviati]

5. He is unfit to be trusted with the codes to his own netflix account.

Let alone the nuclear arsenal.

6. Donald Trump's lack of knowledge is on display all the time

How is it that so many people can't see it?

Every single day we here another story detailing how Mr. Trump is clueless about the electoral process and laws. He sent fundraising solicitations to foreign nationals. His campaign organization is paltry and not set up nationally. He doesn't comprehend the functions of various governmental agencies. And more and more.

Donald Trump is an idiot. So are his followers.

13. How is it that so many people can't see it?

My opinion?

Those people who can't see it, mostly are blinded by the blackness of Obama and/or the femaleness of Hillary.

A small minority are blinded by their version of the Bible exhorting them (they believe) against abortion and homosexuality and their compulsion to impose those beliefs on everyone else.

[PJMcK]

15. You've barely scratched the surface, MH1

I agree with your list but it goes further. Mr. Trump's followers are ignorant and proud of it.

They consistently vote against their own interests.

George W. Bush taught them to not use their minds but to "go with their guts."

They listen to hate from so-called religious leaders who fleece them of their money and souls.

It goes on but clearly you and I agree.

7. Further proof that to him this entire running for President thing

is simply a reality show of which he is the star. Also the producer, writer, director, and probably a bunch of other such positions. He thinks it's just like is life outside of running for President, where whatever he says, goes.

8. He should be ferried onto the stage by trained, endangered rhinos.

10. ELEPHANTS! You hit the mark. Right idea wrong animal.

[randome]

11. Elephants! Symbology! How could I miss that?

16. GOP advance guard arrives in Cleveland...

[LakeArenal]

17. So Good!!!

[livetohike]

9. Would make a good DU photoshop project. Predict ways Trump could make his

grand entrance to the convention. If I knew how to photoshop, mine would be Trump entering on the Titanic .

[underpants]

12. But he said he demurred for fear of looking too self-absorbed.

[randome]

14. Even his humility is huge!

[Squinch]

18. Among other things, though, this desire he has for a rock star entrance tells me he has no

intention of letting this get away from him. He won't give up the nomination during the convention.

[louis-t]

19. He was trying to have it at one of his hotels

so he could bill the RNC and pocket the money.

[pnwmom]

21. He should come in via hot air balloon, like the Wizard of Oz.

Or maybe just wear a flight suit, to make his hands look bigger.
