Donald Trump, Asshole of the Day for September 12, 2014

In some ways, Donald Trump is like any other racist moron who still can’t accept that America has a black President.



In others, he’s just like an average Fox News viewer–an uninformed dolt who refuses to give Obama any credit for turning the economy around following the Bush crash and the worst financial crisis in 80 years.



But unlike your average dumb racist, Donald Trump also plays the role of “successful businessman” in an elaborate con game he’s been working on the less-educated members of the populace for years. His idiocy goes unchallenged when he appears on the fact-free morning show Fox & Friends. And many of his 2.7M Twitter followers seem to be under the illusion that he: a) may still decide to run for President; and b) would be good at it.



More than anything else, Trump is a proud and opportunistic asshole. So when news outlets reported that a Trump-owned golf course had denied President Obama a tee time over Labor Day weekend so as not to inconvenience its members, Trump seized the opportunity to milk the story and, yes, be an even bigger—and more disrespectful—asshole than his club manager had already been. He tweeted:





If Obama resigns from office NOW, thereby doing a great service to the country—I will give him free lifetime golf at any one of my courses! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 10, 2014





Needless to say, both the “lamestream media” and the RWNJ birthersphere took the bait.



Too few, though, have pointed out the fallacy at the center of his offer. Obama leaving office would not be “a great service to the country.”



Calling Obama an economic failure, which Trump frequently does, is something only a moron who told Americans not to buy stocks after the crash in 2008 —right before the greatest five-year accumulation of wealth in America history was about to begin—would do.



In fact, Forbes recently crunched the data, and declared that Obama has outperformed even St. Ronald Reagan in terms of jobs, growth and investing.

For saying he’d offer up one of his golf courses as an incentive for a President he’s lied about and insulted for almost six years to quit his job, Trump is Asshole of the Day.

This is Trump’s sixth time as Asshole of the Day.
