So I wonder what actual honest to God news story is going to happen that will shaken us and the media from our Trumpnosis. A Hurricane or some other natural disaster? The Iran Deal? Grexit?
Also, did you know (and I didn’t, for some shocking reason that is escaping me) that Donald Trump also ran for President in 1999? Did you know what positions he took back then? LOLz.
He was a Reform Party candidate. Remember that cute Ross Perot-Pat Buchanan 1990’s thing? As such, he was not beholden to the Republican Party base, and so he took some pretty interesting positions.
* He was “very pro-choice.”
* He endorsed single payer healthcare as the solution to the healthcare crisis.
* He was open-minded to supporting gay marriage
* He proposed erasing the national debt with a one-time wealth tax on the mega rich.
Trump, a prospective candidate for the Reform Party presidential nomination, is proposing a one-time “net worth tax” on individuals and trusts worth $10 million or more. […]
“By my calculations, 1 percent of Americans, who control 90 percent of the wealth in this country, would be affected by my plan,” Trump said. “The other 99 percent of the people would get deep reductions in their federal income taxes … Personally this plan would cost me hundreds of millions of dollars, but in all honesty, it’s worth it.”
The ads against Trump now write themselves, and these prior positions will be the death of him in the Republican primary. And Trump 2015 will be just like Trump 2011 and Trump 1999.
