Part of the interview in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=216&v=W6gxuqRBkNE

Donald Trump would "love" to have former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin working in his administration if he's elected president.

"I'd love that because she really is somebody that knows what's happening and she's a special person," the Republican candidate said on "The Palin Update," an online interview show. "She's really a special person and I think people know that."

Trump didn't say whether he would consider Palin for a Cabinet-level post or some other role, but told host Kevin Scholla that she has "a following that's unbelievable." Palin's fans, he added, are always urging him to "get Sarah's support."

Trump also said that he and Palin have something in common.

"Like me, she's got people that don't exactly love us and we understand who they are and sort of forget about that," Trump said. "But she has a tremendously loyal group of people out there for her."

May the gods help us all.

 

[Real Hero]

I thought this was another insult from the thread title.

 

[Prologue]

I don't think he's exactly being nice lol

 

[triplestation]

W-we didn't listen!

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Trump is a machine of idiocy.

It's impressive how much nonsense he can spew in a single day.

 

[iMax]

This is so fun to watch from outside the US.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

I want him to become president just so I can see him troll the world for 4 years.

 

[Stinkles]

She went to a special school on a special bus, is how special she is.

 

[Veritigo_X]

The Dream Team. This would make the primaries for me.

 

[Couleurs]

This is great news if he winds up running 3rd party like he threatened, since it'll draw in even more Tea Party lunatics and split the Republican vote even more than before.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Watching too much nailen palin. Ayyy Yoooo trump is doing this shit on purpose. Double agent.

 

[Arkos]

W-we didn't listen!

We didn't listen!

 

[DrROBschiz]

Watching too much nailen palin. Ayyy Yoooo trump is doing this shit on purpose. Double agent.

Has to be

I mean cmon. Hes like a walking political weapon.

The irony being how the things he pushes out really arent that much crazier than what republicans as a whole put out

 

[Razorskin]

Linda McMahon will be his running mate.

 

[Arkeband]

Trump didn't say whether he would consider Palin for a Cabinet-level post or some other role, but told host Kevin Scholla that she has "a following that's unbelievable."

It's unbelievable, all right.

 

[Busty]

If Trump gets elected Tina Fey should just turn up at the White House and 'do' Palin under his regime.

He'd have no idea. Palin would just assume that this doppleganger was the result of menopause and we'd all get a laugh before SkyNet came online and reduced us all the ash.

 

[Woody Invincible]

American politics is the equivalent of Benny Hill music.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I thought he was supposed to be shrewd. Palin tanked McCain, no one wants her anywhere near DC.

 

[Dicer]

He literally has to be trolling at this point...

 

[rokkerkory]

Special sauce indeed

 

[Spartacus]

This train-wreck keeps getting better. Something in me really wants him to become president, although it would probably be the end of the world. He shouldn't have control over the nukes.

 

[Diablos]

She's special, alright.

 

[Chuckie]

She went to a special school on a special bus, is how special she is.

Yeah that was the 'special' I was thinking about too, to be honest.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

I feel like we're just scratching the surface. I don't think this has ever been done before, exposing such an extreme narcissistic personality disorder on the world stage like this, with social media and rapid news cycle what it is today.

 

[HylianTom]

Has to be

I mean cmon. Hes like a walking political weapon.

The irony being how the things he pushes out really arent that much crazier than what republicans as a whole put out

It wouldn't shock me at this point.

I mean.. take his interaction with that asshat Scott Walker for example:
Walker has skated by for months now on his shitty, shiiiiiiiiiiitty record as governor, without very much media scrutiny on the subject. Then Trump comes along, throws some blunt criticism of that record, and suddenly people take notice. Magic!

 

[Fury451]

I thought this was another insult from the thread title.

Same.

Wild Trump Card strikes again.

 

[KHlover]

After all of this is over someone will write a Doctor thesis about Trumps campaign because...seriously?

 

[ElTorro]

He has a point that she still has some sort of a following, and that these people are likely drawn to Trump to. So throwing a bone to these people is a good idea. Doesn't mean that he would actually put her on his team.

Then again, we are talking about a lunatic here, so you never know.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Lawd almighty. I can't decide if Trump's a double agent, a sincere lunatic, or involved in some kind of elaborate wrestling kayfabe thing and nobody else is in on the joke.

 

[ced]

Truly a circus of idiots at this point.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Secretary Of State? Yes, please.

Can all the Americans on GAF please vote for Donald Trump. It would be hilarious.

Sincerely,

The Rest Of The World.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

I can't imagine he believes that. All you have to do is listen to her speak on a subject beyond the usual partisan rhetoric and you can see she's a dimwit.

 

[SmokyDave]

He's mixing her up with Lisa Ann. Easily done.

 

[ElTorro]

I can't imagine he believes that. All you have to do is listen to her speak on a subject beyond the usual partisan rhetoric and you can see she's a dimwit.

The same is true for Trump. When you are an insane person, insanity looks sane.

 

[PnCIa]

He is an awesome troll. So entertaining!

 

[Hyun Sai]

Is it the best presidential campaign ever in the US ?

 

[HylianTom]

Is it the best presidential campaign ever in the US ?

It's already giving 2008 a run for its money. I wasn't sure if anything could ever beat Tina Fey's Palin routine, but this one could be up there..

 

[JCX]

Not sure if shade or just Trump being Trump.

 

[loki 16]

Trump/Palin 2016! LOL

 

[neorej]

This is so great to observe from across the ocean.

 

[Neo C.]

Sarah Palin?!

Nah, he should pull a Silvio Berlusconi, if you know what I mean.

[Ventara]

Yup, I'm convinced. Trump's a double agent. Good guy Trump is making sure Democrats win this.

Linda McMahon will be his running mate.

Democrats should really look closely at all these "strong leader" statements and stop being so defensive and diplomatic about everything. It just does not work.

 

[Dishwalla]

It would be like if the Titanic and the Hindenburg combined to make some weird floating doomed vessel, that was about to crash into a car lot full of Edsels.

 

[Walter White Walker]

I know he's playing to his base of crazy, but he's gotta know how alienating to everybody else it is to act like Palin is anything more than a village idiot.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

This is so fun to watch from outside the US.

It's fun to watch from inside too!

 

[Nivash]

Vote Trump/Palin 2016! Guaranteed to be the last vote you'll ever cast!

 

[ElTorro]

I know he's playing to his base of crazy, but he's gotta know how alienating to everybody else it is to act like Palin is anything more than a village idiot.

The people potentially alienated by that are already alienated by Trump himself.
