Trump distances himself from chaotic RNC: ‘I just showed up’

You can bet that if the Republican convention had been well-produced, The Donald would be taking credit for it. It wasn’t, and he didn’t. Wasn’t this the braggart who said all these great people would show up to speak on his behalf? You know, like Don King and Tim Tebow. Huuuge people, who said they’d never been invited.

The Times asked Trump about why his convention seemed haphazardly thrown-together, unlike the very coordinated and on-message Democratic convention and unlike Republican conventions of the past. “I didn’t produce our show — I just showed up for the final speech on Thursday,” he responded.

In a departure from his usual rhetoric, Trump even declined to say which convention he thought was better. “I’ve liked both shows,” he said.

Trump’s sudden distancing comes after media reports indicated that he was heavily involved in the planning of the convention, while simultaneously betraying his ignorance of how conventions actually worked.  The Times reported that Trump didn’t even realize that the convention had to be held in Cleveland and tried to change the venue so he could enter in a helicopter. The Democratic National Convention has pulled in more viewers in ratings compared to last week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

    It was just another demonstration of how the democrats do things so much better than the repubs.

    I Googled “Trump’s RNC convention plans” and “Trump plans RNC Convention”…16 million hits…
    One of them talks about how the convention is a peek into how Trump would handle the Government…

    Donnie guaranteed a spectacular, star-studded convention that would blow the roof off the ratings war.
    And when the dust settled, he resorted to his standard explanation … by blaming everyone else.

      We-ell, he brought in GOP Hollywood elite – Chachi.
      No word yet why they didn’t bring in Gopher and Cooter…..

      Trump promised a star Studded Fantastic Show, and he was right. The DNC put on one heck of Convention.
      Trump wants to make America Great and he is doing it by getting Hillary Elected.
      See He tells the truth.

    The only reason he showed up there was because his daughter was there.

    • whatthe46 July 30th, 2016 at 01:22

      any chance to cop a feel.

      • The Original Just Me July 30th, 2016 at 01:37

        He did. The was an article about her selling her dress line while there. It had a picture of Trump and daughter facing each other on the stage and his hands were firmly on her hips. Looked like he was ready to drag her in close.

    What happened to Donnie’s plan to announce his proposed cabinet members during his convention?
