Is Trump a good sport?
Being a good sport doesn't seem like part of his image, does it. He seems to project more of a "don't mess with me" kind of persona. Kind of like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.

And Trump is all image. So it's going to be hard for him to respond to being owned like he was, especially by someone he has so little respect for. In Trump's world, coming out and saying "ok, you got me good" is the same as admitting you're a loser.

So what does he do?

16. The longer he stays around...
the more chaos we'll get to see in the Republican party. That's a good thing IMHO.

19. The good news is Palin's been replaced, mostly.
One clown fades and another one pops up. It's what the (R)s are good for.

3. He's already booking his appearances on every morning news show tomorrow.
He can't let this rest. It's not in his nature. He never, ever lets anyone get the last word at his expense. Ever.

4. Thanks for coming to the dinner, Mr. Trump. Now go home and get your fuckin' shinebox.


Tommy DeVito: No more shines, Billy.
Billy Batts: What?
Tommy DeVito: I said, no more shines. Maybe you didn't hear about it, you've been away a long time. They didn't go up there and tell you. I don't shine shoes anymore.
Billy Batts: Relax, will ya? Ya flip right out, what's got into you? I'm breaking your balls a little bit, that's all. I'm only kidding with ya...
Tommy DeVito: Sometimes you don't sound like you're kidding, you know, there's a lotta people around...
Billy Batts: I'm only kidding with you, we're having a party, I just came home and I haven't seen you in a long time and I'm breaking your balls, and you're getting fucking fresh. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.
Tommy DeVito: I'm sorry too. It's okay. No problem.
Billy Batts: Okay, salud.
Billy Batts: (takes a drink) Now go home and get your fuckin' shinebox.
Tommy DeVito: Mother fuckin' mutt! You, you fucking piece of shit!
Billy Batts: (taunting) Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on, come on, come on!
Tommy DeVito: Motherfucking... He bought his fucking button! That fake old tough guy! You bought your fucking button!
Tommy DeVito: You mother fuck... Fuck! Keep that motherfucker here, keep him here!

5. He pouted during Seth Meyers' roasting of everyone. I bet he another
candidate, even a Republican, can get him to lose his temper in the extreme publicly.

6. I'd almost like to see him ina debate with the likes of Huckabee.
I loathe Huckabee, but H has loads of charm and can laugh at himself. Trump would be road kill.

11. That was pretty much his expression through the speeches
If he does run, his ego will be irreparably damaged

12. I could see him arguing with Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, for example. Trump would crack in
pieces. Trump's fragile ego is a huge weakness. He would be taken advantage of by world leaders.

10. He's A Carnival Barker...
He's purely out for the attention. Who cares about his feelings. Even if he laughed his ass off he'd be out there the next day finding a way to exploit his name and image.

His whole shtick was to promote his rancid teevee show and his own personal speaking fees. The dude can now ask top dollar at one of those "motivational" seminars and rake in 50-100k a speech. He's a "star"...a "presidential candidate". Just like he's been his whole life, Trump has never accomplished anything, but has taken credit for a lot. P. T. Barnum couldn't have pulled it off any more masterfully.

The real "sports" here are the roomfull of stenographers that surrounded him...they got played and love it.
