Fuck you, Fallon and NBC.

oh wow he finally dropped the birther stuff

fallon sucks

very magnanimous (is how it will be spun)

Gee, Trump really caves under pressure. I was hoping he'd be stronger and hold his ground. What else will he flip flop on?

fuck this guy forever but that was seriously some A+ clowning of CNN, this is amazing

this shit stain has turned this "campaign event" into a promotion for his new hotel! this is so fucking stupid

but also, incredible

CNN is going into a full-on meltdown over this. On the other hand it's their own fault for being so stupidly gullible about this in the first place.

wait what happened on Fallon I missed something

link?

xp

he did a kiss ass interview and played with trumps hair

hey Trump hosted SNL he must be all right, right? all just a bit of fun!

Fallon is, perhaps counterintuitively to Clint, the nadir of Eastwood's "pussy generation" label

(except Fallon is actually what, about 44? he just entertains the post-funny cohort)

Fallon's always been a vacuum to me, an eager to please hack

At what point exactly is someone going to come back from the future and put a stop to all of this?

I just watched a Futurama episode about that (granted it was Nixon running, not Trump)

does this mean you're going to quote the Nixon on Twitter

*waggles jowls*

I appreciate Fallon's chummy & genial 'hey, we're all just people, and people are okay in my book!' interview style. I found his interviews with Pol Pot and John Wayne Gacy really charming.

That was peak Jimmy Fallon.

tbf Trump probably gave Fallon a fuckton of blow

stage that he made announcement from has collapsed.

Darn! Next time try the log on the rope or the spike pit with hay on top

I kinda wonder if this stunt will hurt him w his hardcore racist/tea party/alt-right moron base

It seems unlikely but still

Trolling the MSM-illuminati-rothschild-CNN? They'll love it I'm sure.

@tinyrevolution
The best part of the Trump presidency will be Bill Clinton following his natural instinct to ingratiate himself with him

"Unlike some of my friends, I believe there are many positive things about Donald & we have to be honest about that"

this is Trump's "pivot" towards the center isn't it

At least until he starts waffling, by let's say...tomorrow?

so uh this happened: http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/donald-trumps-birther-pr-stunt-beset-by-chaos-stage-co-1786716861?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_facebook&utm_source=deadspin_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

wow

I think this guy is the only journalist working right now

some gold in here

trump won't last five seconds with his new "more moderate" stance if he gets the slightest hint that the base doesn't like it

or, this will happen https://twitter.com/BenjySarlin/status/776838776605773824

yeah they love this shit

@BenjySarlin Harambe Shrugged.

what happened with cnn though? meltdown over what?

they aired what amounted to a free campaign ad under the guise that Trump was going to speak on the birther shit . so pretty much what they have been doing for over a year now.

jesus

this was discussed earlier in thread, but the nyt actually calls this a 'lie' for once

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/17/us/politics/donald-trump-obama-birther.html

The essential question — why promote a lie? — may be unanswerable. It might not matter. He kept doing it.

YEAH WHY PROMOTE A LIE MEDIA I AM CONFUSED

press seems genuinely pissed about this, I predict a few days of bad shit for Trump after they've been playing nice over the last couple weeks

like the NYT and WaPo headlines both changed from "Trump Says Obama was born in US" to some variation of "Trump lies and manipulates stuff"

the times has the word "lie" on the front page for what seems like the time this campaign (ever?)

yup
