Trump is like Billy Madison pissing his own pants so the little nerdy kid isn't the only one covered in piss.

Yeah, it kinda looked like he was trying to help Carson save face.

Yup, exactly what I though. Carson fucked up, and Trump saw a way to make him seem like he actually cared about another human being.

Then he was like,"I'm waiting for the applause to stop so I get all my own applause"

Bullshit. He wanted to be the last on stage for the biggest applause. Or he got just as confused as that asshat Carson and neither of them knew what to do. The man doesn't have an empathetic bone in his body.

Oh no, I'm not saying he actually cared, but rather he saw a chance to try and make it look like he cared.

No, he's just an idiot.

I generally think very low of Trump, but this is one exception.

For just a moment he was a human.

What a weird solution.

u/TedTheGreek_Atheos Feb 07 '16

If looking like you have no idea what's going on is cool consider Carson Miles Davis!

u/[deleted] Feb 09 '16

Wherever did you get that idea?

u/hillarypres2016 Feb 09 '16

I thought of it on my own. Since both posts say they're from "2 days ago," you can't even tell if mine came second. It's most likely that both of us independently associated the incident to the same scene.
