Donald Trump gave the New York Times
“conflicting signals about his intentions, saying he was irritated by
the debate moderators’ questions about a third-party candidacy but
reiterating his threat to mount one if he is unhappy with his treatment
by Republican leaders.” He acknowledged an independent candidacy would be complicated and costly, he said, but “if you’re rich, it’s doable.”
Donald Trump opened his mouth again and found the door closed to him Saturday at a high-profile gathering of conservative activists. His latest incendiary comment, about one of the Fox News moderators from Thursday's first Republican presidential debate, led to a scolding by some of his rivals and the party, and condemnation by organizers of the Red State Gathering.... Soon after the interview aired, Red State's Erick Erickson booted Trump from the event's Saturday lineup.
Donald Trump’s campaign announced Saturday it has fired its top political adviser Roger Stone, but friends of Mr. Stone say he resigned. In a statement on Saturday, Mr. Trump’s campaign said that the GOP candidate fired Mr. Stone for using the campaign for personal gain... But Mr. Stone told CNN that he quit and had provided a resignation letter on Friday.

Another thing Trump mentioned was something about too many foreign cars being imported, and defeating our own automobile market.
I'd like to know what car kind of cars Trump has owned. Also, didn't Trump marry an 'imported' woman?
Growing pains of the emerging monarchy. We want our royals to be arbitrary and capricious, like the elder Hamlet. We want them to gamble away our sovereignty on TPP and threaten nuclear war with Russia. But they must appear generous like robber barons Morgan et al. pious exemplars of Christian charity.
Perhaps because of his mob experience, Trump expected more respect as leader of the GOP commission. No true king should be made to bow and scrape to the party hacks. A post-McCutcheon system renders parties obsolete. It only takes one plutocrat to gain the acquiescence of the rival plutocrats. On the model of the TV show Family Feud, is how the Supreme Court designed it, but with elections limiting any one family member's term in office. Perhaps the House of Trump is too much of a one man show to establish the required credentials. We're past the era when such families at Camelot were easily dispatched by gunmen. The Reagan model is the pious lineage of fungible co-worshipping congregants. But Trump represents perhaps a new era of power sharing, by celebrity plutocrats on TV. Trump forces the hand of the financial CEO's who are publicity averse as were the godfathers on Costello's commission. Fox News handles all publicity and candidacies for these string pullers, but if Trump can defeat Fox and the Party, we get a king for four years. Longer than Queen for a Day, but limited by bloodlines. Hence the stability of succession from King Bill to princess Chelsea versus Trump as Gotti/MacBeth.
