There's news stories, and then every now and then there's a NEWS story.

No matter what Trump has done in the past, he's had apologists. So far, hours after the fact, not a single GOP politician or member of Trump's staff are expressing anything but absolute shock.

Trump's going to go to bed tonight and pray that North Korea fires off a nuke. That's the only thing that could make this go away anytime soon.

Have you seen it?

Just saw a picture of the new Chief of Staff John Kelly standing behind Trump while he was ranting, and the guy looked like he wanted to bum rush Trump and pummel the guy.

Richard Spencer just tweeted: Thank you Mr. Trump for your honesty.

I have seen it.

I am also conscious of how other unforgettable things he said were forgotten almost instantly. I guess time will tell how long until we forget about this because we're mad about the next thing.

John Kelly during the press conference. Any body language experts here?

He said he was fixing inner cities. I'm like what how? It was such a throw away phrase for him. I wish the press picked up on it. They were too busy creaming their pants over him supporting the white nationalists because they had a permit.

He also mentioned that wages will go up because the economy is better. Uhh does he not know where all that extra profit goes, it certainly doesn't go to the low level workers. It is like he doesn't know how capitalism works.

Trump lives in the inner city. The only way to fix it is to kick him out.

It must suck to condemn something only to be told that you openly support it because you also condemn something else. Honestly, I think that Trump just thinks that Southern whites are all racist and is trying to cater to them.

He correctly assumes that most whites in every state are very racist. Whether they say it or not most white people want the most advantageous situation possible. They don't want to compete with other ethnic groups on a level playing field. They want the easiest win possible. It might seem like people give a **** but they don't.

Easy easy you'll give yourself away like that.

Mitt Romney just released a statement that punched Trump right in the face.
