Disingenuous broadcaster Fox News frequently traffics in lies, so no one’s really all that surprised when they gloss over critical details, but even by their shitty standards, the network couldn’t have gotten a simple story about an artist, a mural, and Donald Trump’s mug shot any wronger. After being mocked by the internet for fawning […]

Being a racist fartgoblin is bad for Donald Trump’s business interests but great for his apparently now-serious Presidential campaign. A new poll by The Economist/YouGov finds that The Donald is the preferred candidate among the highest percentage of registered Republican voters. Fifteen percent of survey respondents say that the hobo’s dream of a rich man […]

It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Donald Trump. After announcing he was running for President by saying xenophobic stuff about Mexicans, his endorsement deals starting falling apart. The City of New York is even reviewing its business relationships with his development company. Things have gotten so bad that even small businesses are taking […]

Donald Trump probably secretly regrets saying racist shit about Mexicans while announcing his candidacy for President. He would never admit it, and he’s even doubled down on his comments, saying “somebody’s doing the raping” on CNN last night, but off camera he’s probably like “I wish I hadn’t said that.” He is a textbook asshole, […]

Last week, big dumb dummy Donald Trump said, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” This stupid statement cost him deals with NBC, Spanish-language […]

A tacky, dumb golf course deserves a tacky, dumb clubhouse, right? That seems to be the reasoning behind the reported size increase of the clubhouse at Trump Ferry Point, Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s public golf course in the Bronx. The clubhouse’s renderings, obtained by DNAinfo, show that the soon-to-be-built clubhouse’s square footage has been upped […]

Last year, Deadspin’s Greg Howard called odious conservative blogger Chuck Johnson a “clowntroll,” a portmanteau of “clown” and “troll” that gets at both how Johnson says irresponsibly provocative things for the sake of attention and is completely ridiculous and absurd while doing it. This description also applies to a certain Republican presidential candidate/noted Worst Person […]

Trump Ferry Point, the public golf course owned by the Parks Department and operated by the real estate buffoon’s organization, opened on Wednesday after years of delays and hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars spent. Estimates in the press of what the park cost to build range from $127 million to $269 million. A round […]

Trump Village Apartments in Brighton Beach and Coney Island were built in 1964 by Fred C. Trump, father of real estate magnate and known asshole Donald “Fuckface Von Clownstick” Trump. They offer “modest rents” and even a few rent-regulated apartments, according to the Brooklyn Eagle. Recently, building owners Trump One started moving the tenants to “a submetering system for electrical usage” […]

Last fall, Angelo Carusone started a petition asking Macy’s to drop Donald Trump as a spokesperson, citing the real estate mogul’s history of sexist and race-baiting behavior. The petition quickly gained over 600,000 signatures, but Macy’s refused to budge. Now, Trump and his legal team are threatening Carusone with a $25 million lawsuit for his […]
