Despite all sanity and expectations, Donald Trump has a commanding lead in the Republican polls. Everyone assumed that his Presidential campaign would quickly implode, and yet his verbal gaffes only seem to inspire more people to rally around him. It’s to face a sobering truth: Trump has a legitimate chance of winning the Presidency if he wins the Iowa caucuses tomorrow and if manages to become the Republican nominee for our nation’s highest office.
Even skipping last week’s Republican debate seems to have worked out in Trump’s favor. He avoided his nemesis, Megyn Kelly and essentially got to enjoy watching his rivals tear down Ted Cruz for him. If that was Trump’s plan all along, no one can say that it didn’t work.
With Fox News suddenly without a Trump card, Stephen Colbert came up with a mock ratings stunt for The Late Show: a Donald Trump vs. Donald Trump debate! Or as he called it, “The 2016 Top Tremendous All-You-Can Trump Luxury Presidential Debate.”
Trump has flip-flopped on his positions so many times that Colbert and his writers and editors were essentially able to pit Trump against himself…to hilarious results!
Before your very eyes, “Donald” will praise Hilary Clinton and Ted Cruz before “Trump” ruthlessly cuts them down. Even Kelly used to get encouraging words from “Donald,” but “Trump” can’t stop insulting her. Colbert dubbed the two sides of Trump “Dump,” and that seems like a nickname that should stick.
Most of Trump’s supporters seem to be drawn to his angry rhetoric without noticing that he has often changed positions on a dime. If nothing else, this video demonstrates that Trump will say anything if it suits him in the moment. Also, it has to be said that Colbert’s final video quote used for “Trump” is brutal…but it is something that Trump has repeatedly said!
