GOP convention. Trump says hell make his formal announcement on June 16. I think a lot of people are going to be very happy with the decision, Trump told The News & Observer before a sold-out speech Saturday night. Theyre tired of watching America go down. ... Its about making America great again. I can do it, and nobody else can do it. He made a point of using the phrase if I run in his speech but voiced frustration with a disclaimer: June 16, will you come, please, fast Im so tired of saying that. Trump referred to the constantly growing field of Republican candidates as clowns, and said former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio have already made major gaffes. After watching Bush make a total ass---- of himself, Rubio makes an ass---- of himself, Trump said of his potential opponents. Addressing criticism that he lacks the political experience to be president, Trump said hed be strong on foreign policy. Ive made a lot of money beating China and other countries, he said. I only have experience beating other countries. Is that good experience? Trump offered an alternative plan for the international trade negotiations under way. He said Ford and other companies looking to move manufacturing to Mexico or overseas should face a 35 percent tax when they ship the goods back to the U.S. That would bring the plants back home, he argued. Thats whats going to happen, and there are hundreds, thousands of those deals, he said. I will make this country so rich if I run on the 16th just you watch. Trump wasnt modest about his credentials. I would be the greatest jobs president that God ever created, he said. I would be strongest by far on security, because Im very big into the military, very big into the vets. He said he knows how to beat the Islamic State militants and criticized the Obama administrations approach. Every single move we make militarily, we talk about it in a press conference, he said. Trump called President Barack Obama most likely incompetent. He questioned why Secretary of State John Kerry bicycles at age 71: What the hell is he doing? And he said Hillary Clintons presidential campaign is unusual because she avoids media questions. I think shes going to have a hard time, he said. He also addressed another frequent question. It is my hair by the way, he said. Thats always a sign when people hate me: They say he wears a wig.

As the saying goes, it takes one to know one.
You got that right. He's probably the biggest of all. Mr. Establishment himself when it comes to financial things. Funny thing is that he's made his money while participating in the very institutions that have ruined this country in spades.

OMG, such wit, such incredible wit! Let's hope some of it spills over from satire into the public consciousness (such as it is).
