Donald Trump on Friday said he does not enjoy running for president and criticized state and federal prosecutors for not offering him plea deals, capping a rough seven days for the Republican presidential nominee.

    “You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself.

      I don’t. I think campaigning, rallies, and fundraiser dinners are actually his favorite things to do that arent golf. It’s people paying to stroke his ego. It’s a narcissist’s wildest dream. He just doesn’t like facing the consequences of his actions over the past 8 years.

        I’m on the side that he never intended to win at all and he just wanted to get in the spotlight to have some followers to sell gold sprayed products to. Now he’s in way too deep and can’t dig his way out. Tough tits.

        When you think of it, so many of them are immigrants. They don’t belong in our suburbs. They don’t belong in our homes. They should go back to the desert where they belong. But no, instead they’re pricking us with their thorns and I shudder to think what they’re doing to our pets and the wildlife.

          Amen brother! A real American like President Trump shouldn’t be shoving Mexican plants like cacti up his ass. He should be fucking himself with the most American thing of all: the barrel of a semi-automatic rifle.

    I have a feeling the quiet part might be something like this:

    “… but I need to run to avoid prison.”

      I’m a firm believer that all presidential candidates should have to release not only their birth certificates but more importantly their long-form birth video like Obama did at the Press dinner

    Hold the fuck on.

    Plea deals? Does he not realize that a Plea Deal means you admit guilt, in this case become a felon and do the arranged time?

    He’s upset because he hasn’t gotten plea deals? Why would someone innocent be impatient for plea deals?

    “We don’t want this for our country,” he said of Democratic policies. “That’s why I’m doing this. I don’t like doing this.”

    Donald Trump on running for president: ‘I don’t like doing this’

    Which one is it?

    I’m sick of words being twisted for clicks and narrative enforcement. It’s clear, as this article has quoted him, that he’s doesn’t like what Democratic policies have done to the country and that he needs to run for president to fix them. He is not saying he doesn’t want to be president.

    I’m tired of the lack of reading comprehension among grown adults across this increasingly stupid country.

    Can we please vote this fucker out of relevancy so we can get back to human progress?

    I really, really hope that this is a sign that Donnie is genuinely worried that he’ll end up in prison.

    This is a man that’s run for office 4 times, and a man that has not stopped campaigning and holding rallies for 10 years.

    If he actually wanted to get elected, he would shut the fuck up and stay off the campaign stage. That’s when his polls go up. But homie loves campaign rallies and campaign press SO much, that he can’t stop.

    He doesn’t like having towin the election. He would much rather it just be given to him, like everything else in his life.
