<\/a><\/p>\nTrump’s criticisms amounted to another rash of whining and bragging. Since he can’t get any beloved icons of entertainment to support him, he complains that it’s “cheating”<\/em> if Clinton does. And anyway, he doesn’t need them because he’s just that awesome. On his scarcity of star power, Trump bragged:<\/p>\n “We didn\u2019t bring any so-called stars along. We didn\u2019t need them. The reason Hillary has to do that is, nobody comes for her. She can\u2019t fill a room. That\u2019s almost like a form of cheating, right?”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n And on the injury to his tender sensitivities, he whined:<\/p>\n “So he [Jay Z] used every word in the book. I won\u2019t even use the initials because I\u2019ll get in trouble. They\u2019ll get me in trouble. He used every word in the book last night.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Which makes it all the more blatantly hypocritically that Trump will be campaigning with 1970’s washout rocker, Ted Nugent, Sunday night. If he doesn’t want celebrities boosting his campaign he’s still in the clear. Nugent is hardly a celebrity. He’s spent the last few decades performing as a novelty act at state fairs and shilling for the NRA. But it still demonstrates Trump’s tunnel-blind view of the world as he seeks to exploit his own famous deplorables.<\/p>\n What’s worse is Trump’s forgiveness of Nugent’s repulsive commentaries for the past several years. Trump may not like Jay Z using language that is relatable to his hip-hop audience, but it doesn’t come close to Nugent’s offensive outbursts aimed at his political enemies. For instance:<\/p>\n Perhaps the most appalling of Nugent’s public meltdowns was a video that went viral a few years ago. It showed him utterly unhinged at a concert where he fantasized about killing several Democratic politicians. While brandishing what appeared to be a couple of automatic weapons, Trump bellowed:<\/p>\n “I was in Chicago and I said ‘Hey Obama, you might want to suck on one of these you punk.’ Obama, he\u2019s a piece of shit, and I told him to suck on my machine gun. Then I was in New York and I said, \u2018Hey Hillary you might want to ride one of these into the sunset you worthless bitch.’ Then I was out in California and I thought, Barbara Boxer, she might want to suck on my machine gun. Hey Dianne Feinstein, ride one of these you worthless whore.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
