This is your candidate Republicans and Trumpists.

"Before he became the king of Atlantic City casinos, before he put his name on steaks or starred on reality television, Donald Trump served his own apprenticeship in the less glamorous family business of renting apartments.

Trump, in his autobiography, recalled learning valuable lessons from his father, Fred: Hunt for bargains. Chase out deadbeats. Spend some money on paint and polish.

Some alleged there was another part to the Trump formula: Make it tough for black people to move in.

In two court cases, built on evidence gathered from frustrated black apartment-seekers, housing activists and former employees, Fred, and, in a later case, Donald Trump faced accusations of systematic discrimination against African Americans, cases that the Trumps ultimately settled without admitting any wrongdoing."

Woody Guthrie was a tenant in one of Fred Trump's apartment buildings, Beach Haven. This is what he had to say about it.

The perfect GOP candidate, a bigoted slumlord who's dad was in the Klan.

I can't wait to see the next autopsy after this election.

YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump lashed out at a new target on Monday, blaming his bad poll numbers on the existence of the numerical system.

In sometimes rambling remarks at an outdoor rally in Ohio, the Republican Presidential nominee called the numerical system “rigged” and unleashed a torrent of abuse on numbers themselves, calling them “disgusting” and “the lowest form of life.”

“It’s why I won’t release my taxes,” he said. “They’re full of goddam numbers.”

While Republican candidates in the past have attempted to exploit their supporters’ distrust of math, Trump is believed to be the first nominee to call into question the numerical system itself.

Behind the scenes, G.O.P. insiders fretted that, in attacking the very existence of numbers, Trump was veering wildly off message.

“He should be talking about Hillary Clinton, and instead he’s going off on integers,” one insider said.

Officially, aides remained upbeat about the campaign and denied reports that Trump was spending an increasingly large portion of each day angrily muttering to himself and chewing on paper.

By Thursday Trump will declare that the alphabet is a commie plot hellbent on sapping our manly vitality and urge his followers to harass librarians.

Just a matter of time and we'll start seeing the media publishing lists of integers that should not be used, as they have been deemed politically incorrect, insensitive to group X, etc.

Andy Borowitz at the New Yorker is a great satirist.

If he were a great satirist, I wouldn't have been able to point out the hypocrisy of accusing one side being "number averse" while the other side has a history of being "word averse".
