Trump strategy all along seems to be to establish cred with the fringe right, simultaneously destroying all credibility with the majority, including mainstream republicans. I know people on both sides of politics want to believe that Trump is actually a master strategist playing the public like a fiddle, but its becoming very apparent he really is just an idiot. People kept saying that once he won the primary he would start appealing to the majority, instead he failed to even visit swing states, has fired multiple campaign managers, following a series of ludicrous blunders he is solely responsible for. Much like his business 'success' his political career is nothing but hot air.

The real humour will come at the end. So far he has drawn enough attention to his finances to assume that his wealth is almost entirely an illusion made up of conning a small group of investors into massive debt through the power of his brand. His campaign will destroy that brand while simultaneously draining his finances severely, leaving him relegated to reality tv and conspiracy radio, still a millionaire but massively reduced such that people no longer confuse his self-importance with actual importance.

lol the TV just said that trump said obama was born in america but that he "started a new conspiracy theory that it was actually hillary who started the Birther movement?!?!?!?!?! " can you believe this guy!!!?

and hillary "shot back" with some lameass retort that they made seem like a sick burn. The corporate media being 10000000% in the bag for clinton should make any sensible person want to vote against her.

It's brilliant. Bush Sr was an incredible President and George W was just echoing the sentiments of the time. Kinda killed a lot of innocent sand people/children in the process tho.

All jokes and Twitter reactions aside, and though we know it means very little in the grand scheme of things, we’re not OK with this. Trump has appeared before, but this is different. It’s less than eight weeks until the election, and Jimmy Fallon — the King of Late Night — has given a man who wants to ban Muslims from this country, who wants to build a wall to keep out Mexicans, and a man with a lengthy history of sexism, racism, and hate an opportunity to humanize himself, to normalize his bigotry in a mainstream setting.

That may not feel like a big deal to some of you, but to people who oppose the bigotry and hate that Donald Trump represents, it feels like a stab in the back. As TK writes, “I’m sorry, I get that his show isn’t exactly a news show, but goddamnit at some point the networks have to take a stand against oblivion. Trump isn’t just some other candidate with a few crazy ideas. He’s literally the potentially worst thing that could ever happen to this country. It’s time people stopped joking around with him.”

Consequently, at least until the election passes — or Jimmy Fallon owns up to this mistake and apologizes — we’re going to protest in the only way we know how: By refusing to feature any more of Jimmy Fallon’s videos. Reasonable people whose job is not to cover this election have an obligation, in our minds, to speak out against what Donald Trump represents — as NBC did when it fired him from The Apprentice for referring to Mexican immigrants as rapists — and Fallon not only refused to do so, he aligned himself with Trump by treating him like any other guest.

Donald Trump is not any other guest. Donald Trump is a threat to the lives and well being of millions of people not only in this country, but around the world. By normalizing the beliefs of a bigot, Jimmy Fallon has aided Donald Trump’s ability to carry out those threats.

For now, at least, Jimmy Fallon is dead to us.

There have been so many moments during this campaign that we thought might reflect a turning point in the way that Donald Trump is covered that I’m reluctant to believe that this one thing is going to be the decisive moment, but I can tell you this: Right now, the press is furious.

This morning, Donald Trump — surrounded by military figures and standing in front of his new hotel to ensure that it is heavily promoted — quickly announced that he now believes that President Obama was born in the United States.

“President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period. Now, we all want to get back to making America strong and great again. Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it.”

Hillary Clinton did not start the lie, although some of her supporters during the 2008 campaign did make a few insinuations, insinuations that Hillary Clinton never validated or legitimized.

The press thankfully is calling out Donald Trump on that lie.

But here’s the thing: Trump didn’t end the debate. He didn’t apologize. He didn’t put anything to rest.

He also screwed over a lot of reporters and tried to use this course reversal as a means to promote his new hotel. He refused to allow follow-up questions. He got the image of his new hotel in the picture, and he split.

The press is not having it.

Trump tried to use this “campaign event” to promote his hotel. Once he gained the free promotion he wanted, he quickly made his blunt statement and got the hell out of dodge.

Where it concerns his hotel, the press basically told Donald Trump to go gently caress himself.

This may actually honest-to-God represent a turn in the way that Trump is covered.

The reports about the statement have reflected that hostility.

Maybe the media has finally come to its senses. Maybe the media will stop covering Donald Trump like a celebrity, and start covering him like a presidential candidate, and requiring of him what is required of a presidential candidate.

He didn’t make any friends today, that’s for drat sure.
