Tweeted Trump: "@redcross CEO’s salary in 2011 was $951,957. Where is the outrage?"

The answer to the question, "Where is the outrage?" is "it's been badly misplaced, by an idiot." The CEO of the Red Cross, Gail McGovern, received $501,122 in compensation in 2011, a salary that amounts to 0.01% of the Red Cross' total expenses. According to Charity Navigator, McGovern has provided substantial bang for the buck, earning a perfect rating for "accountability and transparency."


Trump was not merely content to blither like a cotton-headed ninny about the Red Cross. He decided that he was also going to ineffectively stick it to UNICEF as well, tweeting: ".@unicef Caryl M. Stern CEO is driving around in a Rolls Royce..."

Stern, appropriately, shot back: ".@realDonaldTrump sorry no rolls; only a prius. fire your fact checker and help us save kids lives."



Does Trump understand that the whole idea of Twitter is that anyone can read your tweets? And that the internet is a ruthless mistress who checks every one of your facts?

Then again, when they find Trumps brain tumor its going to be a big one.

He is America's biggest douche bag. It is a demonstrable fact. The media is increasingly making fun of him.

He might be an idiot for not really understanding twitter, but he is a complete moron for actually using it.

:cool:

But, but, Trump worked so hard to crawl out of the gutter that was his childhood to become a rich real estate magnate! He is a perfect example of how great this country is and how anyone can.....

Wait, what? His father owned the business and taught him everything he knows, and Donald just happened to come along during the biggest housing/real estate bubble the world has ever seen? But, I thought all the rich "job creators" in this country were self made geniuses, and luck had nothing to do with it!!!

This guy is extremely representative of the American Royalty view that most rich Americans have. If you are looking for an excellent example of everything that is wrong with this country, look no further. These people say you feel entitled because they ACTUALLY DO FEEL ENTITLED. It's called projection, pay attention to the propaganda and where it might be coming from before feeding into it.

I used to like the guy. Now I find him a complete moron. He is good entertainment from time to time, however.

his idiocy is nothing new. it's just he uses twitter as a new medium to display it, with more efficacy and faster results.

Start a campaign to get him to run for prez as an independent next election cycle.

You'll get lots of entertainment and he'll burn a crap ton of his cash.

Win/win

I would if I got he opportunity to nail his daughter.

She HAS to be adopted or a step-daughter. There is no way he passed on zero of his genetics to his own actual offspring, and she certainly has none of his genetics....at all.

It could be the poisoned Trump Y chromosome, so, she would skip that influence. It's possible that the Dunuld has a faulty dosage compensation mechanism for all we know.

that being said, I haven't really seen or heard or speak in public. It is also entirely possible that she has "inherited" his profound idiocy.
