Nah, I see Trump more akin to Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Fear not, if he gets elected we'll send in Bond, James Bond.

Trump's speech about how to defeat ISIS.

If you didn't get a chance to watch it, here it is. Judge for yourself:

Lame and simplistic as ever. God, Trump is the epitome of loser!

"U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has shaken up his campaign staff amid sliding poll numbers and signs of disarray, U.S. media reported early on Wednesday.

Trump made senior advisor Kellyanne Conway his campaign manager, and Breitbart News executive chairman Stephen Bannon has been brought on as the campaign’s chief executive, the New York Times reported citing Conway.

Paul Manafort would remain as campaign chair, it said. The Washington Post cited campaign aides as saying that while Trump respected Manafort, he felt “‘boxed in’ and ‘controlled’ by people “who barely knew him”.

Manafort was forced to deny any impropriety this week after the New York Times reported his name was on secret ledgers showing cash payments designated to him of more than $12 million from a Ukrainian political party with close ties to Russia. Manafort has denied impropriety.

Manafort took on the role in March after Trump fired his predecessor Corey Lewandowski.

The shakeup comes as opinion polls show Trump, a wealthy New York businessman who has never held elected office, falling behind Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the race for the Nov. 8 election.

The Wall Street Journal said on Monday in an editorial that Trump should fix his stumbling White House campaign by Labor Day on Sept. 5 or step down."

The is a spoof on a Trump candidacy focus group. It is tongue-in-cheek and riotously funny. Very good actors and hosted by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.

In a CNN article about Trump's latest campaign leadership shakeup, there is a quote I like that refers to Steve Bannon - Trump's latest political strategist - one who has never been directly involved in a political campaign, and to me the quote says it all:

Will Ritter, a Republican political operative in Virginia who isn't supporting Trump, offered a biting assessment: "Another guy is going to ride the psychotic horse into a burning stable."

Ok, I got 8 minutes into the video before I gave in and as we're in the Olympic moment I think I deserve a gold medal for getting that far. As we say here in the West of Scotland, "What a load a shite". Did anybody seriously listen to that for 48 minutes?

I suppose it was bound to happen ... Americans can be harsh.
This bit of street art was found in a park in NYC. Deliciously unfair, but The Donald's ingrained nastiness lies only a few millimeters below his surface and he has no boundaries when given the opportunity ~ which are numerous.
Anyway, he started this nonsense with his Big Hands.

I'm wondering what the woman with the crutches is doing with her right hand. The statue reminds me of a Rodney Dangerfield quote: "They say when you're getting old, the first thing that starts to go is your mind. In my case they missed it by three feet."

Now Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort has resigned, saying he thinks he has become a distraction. Anyone who believes that is the real reason he resigned probably also believes politicians who resign (often just before being indicted for something) trying to convince people the reason they're resigning is because they want to spend more time with their family.

Seems to me more people abandoning Trump's ship than there were trying to abandon the Titanic.
