The world still wonders why Donald Trump is just so darn popular, despite his disparaging comments on immigrants and general superior attitude. The guy possesses no public policy experience, but he’s rich and can run a company, so that’s good enough for Trump to keep on truckin’ through this farce of a campaign.
What isn’t good enough for Trump, however, is racist behavior from his staffers. Business Insider got the inside scoop on Sam Nunberg, one of Trump’s political advisers. Nunberg was released from Trump’s campaign after the discovery of his personal Facebook page (which has since been deleted). The page contained many “racially charged statements,” including this 2007 comment, which referred to Rev. Al Sharpton’s daughter as a “N*****!””
Nunberg says he doesn’t remember making these posts: “I’m shocked and I don’t recall them.” The Trump camp distanced themselves by calling Nunberg “just a short-term consultant” with “a low-level campaign position.”
Meanwhile, Trump is still messing with people on Twitter. He trolled his fellow “puppet” candidates, who he says must beg for campaign money.
I wish good luck to all of the Republican candidates that traveled to California to beg for money etc. from the Koch Brothers. Puppets?

Say what you want about @realDonaldTrump's politics, but I simply cannot vote for a man who isn't okay with letting his hair fall out.

Then there were the expected cries of disbelief over Trump’s troll behavior:
Two things I found out this morning, @realDonaldTrump is an idiot and @RondaRousey is an unbelievable role model!
