He'll appear at a WWE event, call out Jerry Lawler, and then pull off his mask, revealing himself to be Andy Kaufman. This makes more sense than Ted Cruz being the Zodiac Killer.

Definitely some George Bush qualities in there. I can see a lot of overlap in the traits Trump is admired for and the ones people saw in Bush that they liked initially.

That's is a gargantuan reach.

All of these articles keep giving me hope that he will pull off the mask, so to speak, to reveal that his voters are batshit insane and they should all be ashamed tonhave voted for him in the first place.
He won't - he loves the power and praise, and surely that's pretty easy to empathize with at least. Combine that with somebody who's greedy, egotistic and has questionable morals and... Well, I'd give up hope if I were you

Yeah this wasn't a swanky hotel.
How does Trump feel about people sneezing?
Honestly expected worse. Seems like a rich man that is perhaps a tad eccentric or has some quirks. We all have quirks. The whole hiring women thing and the real reason behind it, may be true, but then again it might not be true and since nobody can get in the mind of Trump it's a moot point. It actually makes him look better in my eyes. Though he's so low at this point that's not saying much anyway.

The humblest of brags?
Why do you need a Snopes article when you have a video of what he said?:

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Trump, as described by people who have literally been paid money not to say anything bad about him.

Because people were stupid enough the first time to not see it as the obvious joke that it was. The Snopes article helps put the quote in its proper context.
I think practically everyone saw it as a joke. A hugely inappropriate joke.

That link literally says he said exactly that.
And then clarified later that he was joking.

Just like his other joke about him and his daughters favorite past-time being sex.
I took it as a joke, but yee gads, he really needs to lay off the "my sexy daughter" jokes.

And yet
Trump's representative said that it was a self-deprecatory joke in reference to the fact that he has a tendency to date younger women, and I think it's obvious enough that the audience took it that way. Whether that was inappropriate joke to make or or not, it's a huge leap to get from there to "if he wasn't his daughter's dad, he'd totally fuck her".

He will but by that time he'll be the nom.

Dating generally leads to fucking.
Given it seems to be one of the first jokes he thinks of when talking about his daughter, are you at all surprised that some see something a little disturbing in that?

Leads to, but is not the same as. He was being asked how he would feel if his daughter posed for Playboy. He began by saying that he wouldn't approve, then immediately rebounded by saying that she is beautiful and making a joke about his well-known history of dating younger women. I don't like Trump any more than you do, but that doesn't mean I think it's okay to misquote him.
TL;DR: He did not "literally" say "exactly" this:
And I think you may be reading too far into the remark if you think he implied it.

I read this as:
I blame it on my completely natural dislike of Trump.
So I apologize Valjean for saying exactly and literally.
The implications are there, and easily read though.
The man has a creepy fascination with his daughter. And no sense whatsoever for comedy.

If I could ask them one thing.
I'd ask "Why the lawsuit over an orangutan joke?"

Honestly, reading The Art of the Deal makes Trump come off as a decent guy. He does random acts of kindness for people, seems to have some sense of solidarity with his fellow man, talks about how low income housing is a good thing, does right by his employees, and comes off as a devoted father.
Either that was all an act, something changed within him, or a lot of this is an act.

He changed his persona since 2011 or so.
He was very much a moderate for most of his life. Somewhere in the second half of Obama's first term, he went full populist Republican and never looked back.

If only it was just populist rhetoric.
I'd feel a hell of a lot safer for my not so ivory white friends.

Seems like it for quite a number of them anyway.
He won't go that far, but it's clear he's playing political rope-a-dope.
Pretty much everyone's a dope, though. Everyone seems to hang on his every word, whether you're for him or against him. And anytime people think he's done or cornered, he somehow rebounds and gets ahead again. Personally, I've never seen anything like it.

If the joke answer you come up with to "What are you and your daughters favorite past-time together" is sex, then there's some really unhealthy shit going on in that mind.
I mean, you might have used the wrong word, but the freaking implication is there for all to see. And he brought it on himself, by making the "joke".

He's a racist, a misogynist, a daughter creeping perv, and I'm sure sometimes, he eats good people.

sounds like a micromanaging cunt manager. shocker.
Given what we know of Trump I'd sooner think he just wanted more women as eyecandy around.
