Currently experiencing absolutely zero risk of underexposure ahead of the 2016 presidential election, the Republican half of which currently resembles a circus of dimwits, Donald Trump just keeps piling on the idiocy. Though Tuesday's other two Trump revelations could generously be considered as fringe elements relatively beyond his control, it's the repetition of Trump's anti-diversity rhetoric that spawns or at least enables such fringe politics in the first place.
Speaking of fringe, Fox News is officially back in the saddle for the sequel to Donald Trump vs. Megyn Kelly, a sexism-laden feud that Trump predictably reignited upon Kelly's return to The Kelly File following a brief vacation. In typical Trump fashion, his fondness for retweeting those Trump-like enough to throw around words like "bimbo" seems to be firmly intact:
Sensing a publicity dollar to be made, Fox News' resident sith lord Roger Ailes quickly released a statement to the Washington Post in support of Kelly. Ailes demands Trump issue a public apology to Kelly, before kind of hilariously referring to Fox News as "fair and balanced":
Never one for grace, Trump quickly responded with a statement of his own:
Even Sean Hannity, the Fox News version of every dad in America's former college drinking buddy who's been tucking his polo shirt into his khakis for twenty years and counting, briefly joined the feud by defending Kelly while also voicing his support for Trump's generally vague campaign platform:
Sadly, all this really proves is that Trump is like a fatter, dumber T-1000 Terminator. You can lodge, fire, toss, or otherwise levy any political weapon against him, and though immediate damage might convince you of an assured defeat, he keeps limping toward you while science-defyingly healing his own political injuries.
Save us, Bernie. Save us, Hillary. Save us, Deez Nuts.
