  1. Must see TV! The follow-up is a live broadcast of Trump taking a particularly stinky crap. Expect a panel discussion on what kind of undies he’s wearing and whether his belt shows unusual wear.

    I’m not going to watch the speech, because I’m guessing it can be summarized as “Trump : I’m awesome and you’re not.”

  3. Because there is no more appropriate place to speak on MLK day than a “university” founded by a man who has been quoted while preaching from the pulpit as saying:

    “The facilities (white-only schools) should be separate. When God has drawn a line of distinction, we should not attempt to cross that line.”

    “The true Negro does not want integration. He realizes his potential is far better among his own race.”

    Falwell went on to announce that integration “will destroy our race eventually. In one northern city,” he warned, “a pastor friend of mine tells me that a couple of opposite race live next door to his church as man and wife.”

    I’m sure the audience will greet Donald’s message warmly.

  4. What could go wrong?

  5. I wonder if he’ll give the assembled crowd a demonstration of biting the little cracker. Maybe ask everyone to show their dreidel.
