Where Have We Heard This Before?

Post by Bicycle Bill »

"I don’t think I’m going to lose, but if I do, I don’t think you’re ever going to see me again, folks."
Oh yeah; here it is:

Don’t expect to see Donald Trump give a humble concession speech if he loses the Republican presidential nomination.

During a Sunday rally in Maryland, the Republican presidential frontrunner mocked candidates who praise their opponents during concession speeches, saying that if he loses the contest, Americans will probably not hear much from him again.

“They fight like hell for six months, and they’re saying horrible things, the worst things you can imagine,” Trump said.  “And then one of them loses, one of them wins.  And the one who loses says, ‘I just want to congratulate my opponent.  He is a brilliant man, he’ll be a great governor or president or whatever.’”

He continued: “I’m not sure you’re ever going to see me there. I don’t think I’m going to lose, but if I do, I don’t think you’re ever going to see me again, folks.  I think I’ll go to Turnberry and play golf or something.”

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Well, if anyone ever trusted a word Trump said, then we might care about what he is saying now. But I had the same thought about Nixon and his "you won't have me to kick around" rant when I saw this headline, which means, so did a lot of other people. This means yet again, Trump did not think through what he was saying, perfectly illustrating for umpteenth time one of the key missing traits to being president.
