Hilarious Tragically pathetic article on Trump's love of telling everyone he just got a standing ovation...no matter where he's at:

No one would be surprised then that Trump has often touted the many standing ovations he has received. Using the invaluable Trump Twitter Archive, I dug up a whole bunch of times Trump has been applauded wildly -- to the point of standing -- as recounted by none other than Donald Trump.
1. "Had a great meeting at CIA Headquarters yesterday, packed house, paid great respect to Wall, long standing ovations, amazing people. WIN!" (Jan. 22, 2017)
2. "Sleepy eyes Chuck Todd, a man with so little touch for politics, is at it again. He could not have watched my standing ovation speech in N.C." (July 6, 2016)
3. "@akawhit1: @Maxinerunner @RonNussbeck @realDonaldTrump MCCAIN WHO? #Vets Give Donald Trump Standing Ovation http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2 ... itter_page ... ..." (July 23, 2015)
4. "A true piece about the standing ovations I got yesterday http://thegazette.com/subject/news/gove ... t-20150719 ..." (July 19, 2015)
5. "Just left Family Leadership Summit in Iowa, got a standing ovation from many wonderful people. I will be back soon." (July 18, 2015)
6. "Just received a standing ovation at #NCGOPCon when I said, "We need to bring the American Dream back better and stronger than ever before!" (June 6, 2015)
7. "Received a standing ovation in packed house @MorningsideEdu after Sam Clovis intro! Let's Make America Great Again!" (May 16, 2015)
8. "Big crowds, standing ovations in South Carolina - MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" (May 10, 2015)
9. "Just returned from New Hampshire where the crowd was great-and got a beautiful standing ovation! Wonderful people who truly love the U.S.A." (April 18, 2015)
10. "The NRA in Nashville today was amazing. Packed house and standing ovation for Trump. THANKS!" (April 10, 2015)
11. "Record crowd and standing ovation at Simpson College in Iowa- lots of fun, wonderful audience!" (April 9, 2015)
12. ".@IamStevenT gave one of the greatest endings to a show ever @MissUniverse. Standing ovation!" (This one is a "standing ovation by association"; November 11, 2013)
13. "The CPAC speech went really well this morning--- first speaker--- standing ovation. I really enjoyed it." (March 15, 2013)
14. "Based on the ovation last night from the Letterman @Late_Show audience, I believe it will be hard for Obama to throw $5M down the drain....(Unclear if this was a "standing" ovation but I am counting it because, let's be honest, it probably was) (October 26, 2012)
15. "Liberty University speech by DJT was biggest by far in school's history. Standing ovations...great young people!" (September 26, 2012)
16. Thousands of great people showed up from Liberty University yesterday. I love standing ovations! http://on.fb.me/PDS55W (September 25, 2012)
While Trump does most of his standing ovation boasting on Twitter, he's doesn't always limit his bragging to 140 characters.
My favorite? This one -- from January 26, 2017 -- in which Trump discusses the applause from a speech gave at the CIA:
"That speech was a home run. See what Fox said. They said it was one of the great speeches. They showed the people applauding and screaming. ... I got a standing ovation. In fact, they said it was the biggest standing ovation since Peyton Manning had won the Super Bowl, and they said it was equal. I got a standing ovation. It lasted for a long period of time."

I've often wondered if the joke was on us... that 'a Standing Ovation' is a euphemism for, 'grab em by the pussy'.

Seriously.

Never mind the fact it has been debunked over and over and over and over again...all while the em's of the world continue to scream "LALALACANTHEARYOULALALALALA".

Not that I expect anything different at this point.

Here's a secret: it's not Hillary Clinton they want. It's all the rest of us too.

They're sick of soft liberal democracy and want something harder.

Just because Ted Bundy killed more people than Charles Manson doesn’t mean Manson is innocent. This is what people like em2 fail to understand.

Understanding that he can't pass up the chance to mock a critic whose show failed, at least he knows when he's not being Presidential. Progress?

My understanding is that the show was a limited run regardless and closed after the full schedule had been completed. That doesn't mean it was a great success, I know nothing regarding box office numbers or attendance, but it does mean it was not "forced to close"..

In Trump's distorted world, facts are fluid when it comes to anything that might damage his sense of self worth. That's why everyone that speaks out against him, or even mentions that he farted once in a lobby, is immediately described as failing. I'm fairly sure that the first time he got a D on a school paper as a child, he dropped off a note on Trump letterhead at the teacher's desk stating that she had failed at motivation and wouldn't be around much longer.

From the NY Times

Given the show’s limited run and modest grosses, neither the phrase “total bomb” nor “smash hit” seems to be a precise description of its financial performance. The capitalization costs are not public for “The Terms of My Surrender,” which was produced by IMG Original Content and Carole Shorenstein Hays. But it played to houses that were often about three-quarters full, and its weekly grosses ranged from about $260,000 to $460,000. It took in $4.2 million over all and was seen by 74,484 people, according to the Broadway League.

Apparently, it did OK.

Trump was blasting Moore’s one-man play “The Terms of My Surrender,” which scorches Trump and closed last Sunday. It was not, however, “forced to close,” as the president erroneously insisted. It was billed as a 12-week limited engagement, and it completed its run.

The play also did just fine at the box office. It took in $4.2 million, making it the highest-grossing non-musical among plays that opened in the summer, according to Playbill.

Scandinavia and the World

Ah Poland. Europe's punching bag.

That's also why it doesn't make sense to talk about white and black culture outside of USA because the cultures are so different from country to country in Europe and there's a pecking order going on amongst white people. Even people from, say, the Middle East will rarely say "You white people" but rather "You French/German/Norwegian/and-so-on people"

Now, is it racism? It depends on how much you buy into the idea of race. A Dane who hates Swedes wouldn't call that racist, but people from Eastern Europe start to look different enough that it's often called racism, and in a way that plays into the negative feelings too. It's complicated.
