Rachel’s Team Pick: Donald Trump Isn’t Running For President

COMMENT (25)

We can all breathe a sigh of relief. No one needs a president who’s a f*cking birther AND has stupid hair. (For a review of why the concept of Donald Trump not being President is teampick-worthy, maybe try reading this.)

    My almost 4-year-old niece told me, in a very serious tone, “Tronald Dump is bad hair.” Perspicacious, that one. My brother is doing something right.

    Not surprised, it was clearly a publicity stunt from the 1st, although I am happy about it. I’m more suprised/very happy that Huckabee has withdrawn from the pool.

    Mike Huckabee dropped out of the 2012 race. Donald Trump did too. No one’s going to take Sarah Palin seriously if she runs. So looks like Obama’s gonna be president again when he runs.
