TrumpSpin

   I think it is only fair to let Donald J. Trump speak for himself, so here is an excerpt from a piece in the Washington Post where he was asked a 5th grade history question about  Lincoln's greatest accomplishment:  "Well, I think Lincoln succeeded for numerous reasons. He was a man who was of great intelligence, which most presidents would be, but he was also a man that did something that was a very vital thing to do at that time. Ten years before or 20 years before, what he was doing would never have even been thought possible. So he did something that was a very important thing to do, and especially at that time." 

   TrumpSpin is a method of taking any question, running it through the orange crush blender that is Trump's brain and spitting out something that sounds good to Trump. Just for fun, I remember a classic nonsense phrase "The Gostak Distims the Doshes." Let's run it in TrumpSpin: "Well I'm glad you asked that question because it has really huge implications for America in the future. I'll assure you that in a Trump Administration, the Gostak will be free to distim without any pesky regulations about the pollution that his distimming causes. Also, the Doshes will not need to worry about Mexicans and Muslims taking away their rights to be distimmed. It will be the new Golden Age of America for the Gostak, the Doshes and all of the American people."
