So Trump now needs a full-time babysitter on the campaign trail to keep

[DanTex]

him from melting down. There's actually a word for it: "Trump-sitting." And this is just the campaign trail. Is he planning to have a team of babysitters next to him in the white house to stop him from starting a nuclear war?

I cannot believe that anyone thinks he's remotely qualified to to be anything.

1. Maybe they should get one of those oversized actor movie posters. At least they don't talk.

[mcar]

2. Like Preibus would be able to stop him

from his usual bloviating.

3. Spoiled brat still having tantrums. Erratic outbursts and then what ? You are Fired ?

Babysitting trump can't be easy even in teams

4. Talk about a thankless, lousy job!

Being responsible for reining in a raving lunatic, and having to worry about being stiffed on payday?

7. Maybe Cheney is available, he has experience.

14. You'd have to get him a bigger gun

Cheney shot Harry Whittington in the face over a decade ago and Harry Whittington is still alive and hunting quail again. If you're gonna shoot Trump you want to be sure you get the job done...a howitzer would probably do it. A guy COULD solve the problem once and for all by just giving him an enema.

8. They must figure that since it worked for Dubya, it should work for Trumpty.

[anamandujano]

15. W didn't mind others calling the shots.

Trump would never cede power so no it's not the same.

[forest444]

16. Good point.

Trump's more like a basset hound. There's always gotta be something in it for him.

[Coyotl]

11. That needs to be a trending hashtag, #TrumpBabysitter

Pence's new middle name

meanwhile #FireTrumpin4words is trending all day long now.

12. Saddam's government had people like this - they were called minders

Each non-Iraqi journalist operating within Iraq was accompanied by a Ministry of Information employee who the journalists called minders. They kept you out of places the government didn't want you to go, and approved every story you filed before you transmitted it.

Has the United States EVER had a candidate at any level who needed this? I can't remember one, and I remember some real jewels. IIRC not even Baby Bush had minders, and he had a mental age of about twelve.

17. They'll have to take his twitter away from him

Good luck with that.

18. Imagine an alternate universe where he won: The white house staff would all go home.

He wouldn't "be" president because all the people who really keep the west wing going wouldn't work for him. He'd be standing in the oval office with reporters, making beligerant statements, taking photos, until the photographers went home.

Then, silence. He'd get bored in a few minutes and go back to his b.s. real estate business.

Someone would have to run the country from the capital building.
