Donald Trump has yet to sign off on an official campaign logo. Now there's an interesting thought. What logo could be emblematic of Trump and his campaign?

I'd say something like this:

As you can see, there is something barely concealed beneath the surface.

Trump: Mandatory death penalty for cop killers

AF triggered!!!

When did Donald Trump decide to go blonde?

This doctor's note claims that the only surgery Mr. Trump has ever had was a appendectomy at the age of 10. It gives him an entirely clean bill of health.

Except it fails to mention anything about the "bone spurs" that kept him out of Vietnam.

Trump's New York values.

I'm not sure if this has already been posted.

"Instead of debating his presidential rivals Thursday, the GOP frontrunner is hosting an event ‘to raise money’ for veterans. That’s rich, say the disabled veterans he tried to eject from the street outside Trump Tower.... “Whether they are veterans or not, they [the vendors] should not be allowed to sell on this most important and prestigious shopping street,” Trump declared."

Waste of time, he'll wreck himself in weeks, just let him keep talking.

It's like people don't remember at all the yo-yo of very temporary poll leaders last time around.

How's that working out?

You've Been Trumped (2011)

In this David and Goliath story for the 21st century, a group of proud Scottish homeowners take on celebrity tycoon Donald Trump as he buys up one of Scotland's last wilderness areas to build a golf resort.

Here's Trump in action with a particularly contentious land development. Watch as he promises yuuge things, charms local authorities, smashes his opposition. I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned in the campaign because it's a full length anti-Trump documentary. So while it's obviously biased, it provides a revealing case study of how Trump operates in the real world.

Anti-Trump Voices Grow Louder In Scotland After Development Rift (NPR)

"He promises the earth, delivers nothing," says David Milne, who lives nearby. "As far as that goes, he's in a good position to be a politician. But as far as the real world goes, no, do not trust this man with anything."

One of Trump's biggest fans used to be the leader of the Scottish National Party, Alex Salmond. He was head of the government in Scotland when Trump came in with his grand plans.

"Donald said wonderful things about the billions of dollars he was going to invest, the thousands of jobs that were going to be created," Salmond recalls. "Now, eight years later, I reckon the investment has amounted to perhaps a tenth of that."

The Playboy Bully of the Western World (National Review)

It would be an extraordinary irony if Donald Trump secured the Republican nomination riding a groundswell of working-class anger toward “elites.” In Scotland, Trump teamed up with “elites” in the local and national government in an attempt to railroad working-class residents out of their homes. In Scotland, Donald Trump was not against “special interests.” He was special interests.

Donald Trump fails to deliver on golf resort jobs pledge: First Minister Alex Salmond is left in the rough over ‘Great Dunes of Scotland’ investment (The Independent)

The American entrepreneur Donald Trump has failed to deliver on pledges to create thousands of jobs through a supposed billion-pound investment that were key to planning approval for his hugely controversial Scottish golf resort, an investigation has found.

By his own admission, Mr Trump has created no more than 200 of his promised 6,000 jobs and is thought to have spent just £25m on the scheme while bulldozing environmentally sensitive areas of the Scottish coast, according to a new analysis of the scheme’s finances.

This thread completely misses the point. Nobody cares whether Trump is Satan and Hitler's love child, and nobody cares what his policies are.

All that matters is that he is a weapon to smash a the iron grip of a corrupt establishment. If you want to undermine his support, make the case that he is not such a weapon.

Didn't you just say in another thread that you'd gladly vote for Hitler?

Oh yeah, you sure did.

More than ANYTHING any of our enemies could have done.

But as I mentioned, it did end up establishing one crucially important fact: The establishment will never work with us, assist us, cooperate with us, play fair with us, or in any other way be anything but the most hardcore of enemies to our cause, even if we throw our own families on the altar as a sacrifice.

This makes them mortal enemies, and relieves us of any moral obligation to give them any quarter. If Hitler were reincarnated and promised to line them up against the wall and shoot every one of them, it would be a strategic imperative for us to vote for him.

It is absolutely necessary to our survival to smash the establishment first and foremost, and let the chips fall where they may. They have assured beyond any doubt and taken every possible measure to insure that there is no other alternative left to us.

Occam's Banana made a great reply that you just totally ignored:

That is crazy talk (even if it is just enthusiastic hyperbole), and you wits are badly deranged if you actually believe it.

No Hitlerian figure is ever going to "smash the establishment." Just the opposite, in fact. While a latter-day Hitler (or Mussolini, or Bolshevist, or etc.) might damage or destroy some particular faction(s) within the "establishment," such a figure, if successful, would merely go on to implement establishmentarianism in its fullest and purest (and thus most vicious) expression. That is, after all, exactly what the real HItler (and Mussolini, and Bolshevists, etc.) actually did.

In and of itself, "smashing" the establishment is at best orthogonal to achieving liberty - and the promotion of rabid authoritarianism as an avenue for the achievement of anything resembling liberty is as perfect an example of cognitive dissonance as could be asked for ...

Trump opposition research?
Simple, he's not Vermin Supreme, though he may be acting like one!

VERMIN SUPREME, 2016!
Ponynomics! Zombie Power! A candidate of the future, FOR THE FUTURE!

I agree.

Ergo, democracy is an insane and/or sadistic form of government.

All that matters is that he is a weapon to smash a the iron grip of a corrupt establishment. If you want to undermine his support, make the case that he is not such a weapon.

You're an imbecile. Please don't vote.

This opposition hasn't be very successful. Do you want to know why? Well, I'm going to tell you anyway. It's because none of it matters. Either you're right about Trump and we are screwed if he wins, or you're wrong and we're screwed if he doesn't win. If he doesn't win we are screwed anyways, so people are willing to take a chance on him.
