Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump told the crowd at a Monday campaign rally his events would be “boring as hell” if his onstage presence was less bombastic.

At an event in northern Wisconsin ahead of the state’s Tuesday primary, the billionaire said while his wife and daughter have both begged him to act more “presidential,” he wouldn’t let up until he won the White House.

“I can be presidential, but if I was presidential, we would only have about 20 percent of you here because it would be boring as hell,” he said.

“Let me be unpresidential just for a little while longer, and maybe I’ll be a little bit unpresidential as I beat Hillary, because, ugh,” Trump sighed in mock disgust. “Don’t forget, I haven’t started on Hillary yet.”

    Any day now Trump will whip out his outreach to women.

  3. Hemorrhoids can be interesting too! Just like you…

  4. Campaign discipline, meet the most self-indulgent, libertine, 70-year old spoiled brat in modern history.
