Big Red Car here. Another lovely Texas summer day. I wish you could be here to enjoy it. It is glorious. But, then, it IS Austin by God Texas, y’all!
So I finally got an interview with The Donald. He dropped by Austin and I drove out to the airport — where he was refueling his great big jet with his great big name on it — and we chatted in a hangar.
Here it is.
BRC: So, The Donald (he likes being called “The” Donald, y’all, and I decided to go along with it), welcome to Austin, Texas. Been here before?
TD: Big Red Car, you look terrific. What a great looking American muscle car you are! I love American muscle cars. American muscle cars love me and support me. I’m going to be the best President EVER for American muscle cars.
What was your question?
BRC: Have you ever been here before?
TD: OK, Big Red Car, that’s the way you want to play it? Yes, The Donald has been here before.
By the way, Big Red Car — you really do look terrific today — do you know that I went to Wharton and I’m very rich? Tremendously rich!
No questions about my hair. OK?
BRC: The Donald, have you ever been to Texas before?
TD: No.
[I didn’t want to point out he had said both “yes” and “no” to my question. Didn’t think it would be polite plus he seemed a little wound up. A lot of energy in The Donald. I wonder if he’s taking Adderal or something?]
BRC: What brings you here today?
TC: I wanted to meet with you, Big Red Car. Terrific, awesome.
I also wanted to come see the border again and I want to smack Teddie Cruz and Rick Perry around a bit.
Perry is out of money because he isn’t a billionaire.
How does a guy with any machismo — got lots of machismo, The Donald does — not become a billionaire in a great state like Texas? Perry? He’ll be gone in a few weeks. I want his supporters.
Did I tell you that I went to Wharton and was a terrific student? Charisma? Lots of charisma.
BRC: So, Mr. Trump, you recently released your immigration plan. You provided specifics and it has been received with mixed reviews. Some like it and some hate it. How do you feel about the criticism?
TD: Big Red Car, I can tell you exactly who hates it — pinheads, stupid politicians, corrupt politicians, incompetent people, Rosie O’Donnell — a fat slob loser — and Mexico. Mexico is sending us their worst people.
I love TexMex by the way. Did I tell you I love TexMex? I’m headed to Matts El Rancho after this. Maybe you come along and we eat those fajitas and guacamole?
The Mexicans hate it because they are used to out negotiating Obama — worst negotiator ever, couldn’t sell an overpriced condo to a Chinaman if his life depended on it — and sending us shitheads.
Not all Mexicans are bad just the murderers, rapists, kidnappers — those shitheads.
BRC: What do you think that people do not know about The Donald that they should?
TD: The people should know that The Donald is rich, smart as Hell, rich, a billionaire and that women love him.
Have you seen my wives — Ivana — very hot! Top of her class. Very nice breeding we did with our children.
Then there was Marla — very hot, Southern girl. Not my style come to find out. Some deals don’t work out. Great pre-nup. I met another girl and re-cycled her. You know The Donald is big into recycling, right? Terrific business!
Then there’s Melania — have you seen her? She’s from Slovenia. I didn’t know where the Hell Slovenia was and now I own their best supermodel. Look at that ring I gave her. That’s a terrific ring for a terrific woman.
Terrific woman! Women love The Donald and I’ll be very good for women. Best President ever for women. Not just the ones I date or marry — all women. Did I tell you I’m terrifically rich?
BRC: Mr. Trump, the Iowa state fair? What happened with helicopter rides for the young folk?
TD: Can you believe those stupid people told me I couldn’t operate my helicopter from the middle of the fairgrounds? Stupid, incompetent, state fair pinheads.
Well, The Donald, doesn’t take no from anybody — ask Melania about that.
Haha. Little joke. No BIG joke, we’re in Texas, right and everything is bigger in Texas, right? Like me — rich and bigger than life.
So I just rent a freakin’ parking lot across the street. Made Mexico pay for it. Do not get in The Donald’s way.
Haha. Two good jokes. Terrific jokes. When I’m President, I’m going to be very good for comedians, jokes, and comic writers. Hell, I’m so terrrific; I’m going to be terrific for everyone. Best ever.
BRC: Are you sincere when you say you won’t raise any outside funds and self-fund your campaign?
TD: Big Red Car — you do look terrific. Have I told you that? Of course, I have.
Here’s the thing — I’m rich. Why do I want to take other people’s money? I’ve already go a lot plus I don’t have to kiss those Koch brothers’ asses. Or that freakin’ George Soros. I just do what I want with my own money.
See my plane? The one with the big Trump on the side? Yeah, well — terrific plane — I can go anywhere and do whatever I want cause I’m rich.
Those toadies I’m running against have to take money from strangers and then do whatever the Hell they tell them to do.
They told that fat ass Jeb Bush to lose weight — what did he do? The guy looks like he’s sick. He eats like a rabbit. You can’t be a vegan and win the presidency. Nobody tells The Donald to lose weight. Jeb looks like a bean pole. America does not need another skinny President. This last skinny President has been a disaster.
Look at this big gut of mine — terrific. [He slaps his gut for emphasis. It is a very hard and loud slap.] I am going to be very good for guys with big guts. Women, too. Big gut women love The Donald. Adore me.
Hell, I’m going to be the best thing that ever happened to women. Ask Ivana. Ask Marla. Ask Melania. Ask Megan Kelly. Ask that slob Rosie O’Donnell. Has been until I slapped her around.
Haha, three jokes. That Megan Kelly is getting on my nerves with her menstrual blood nonsense. I only talked shit about that slob Rosie O’Donnell. Who talks nice about a slob like that? Not The Donald.
BRC: Can we move next to Putin and Russia?
TD: Putin looks like a tough nut. Every time I see a picture of him and Obama I think that Putin just gave Obama a wedgie and stole his lunch money.
Am I wrong, Big Red Car? Am I? You know I’m right.
BRC: Well, The Donald, they do look uncomfortable. Awkward might be a better word.
TD: I’ll tell you a better word, Big Red Car. They look like Putin gave Obama a titty twister.
What’s up with this guy and taking his shirt off all the time? Does he think he’s got great tits or something? He looks ridiculous. The Donald doesn’t take his shirt off except at the Hampton’s — where I have a fabulous home. Best on all of the island. Really terrific house. Lots of good looking women hanging around. Why? The Donald!
You know I know something about great tits, right? Big Red Car? Right? Haha, The Donald knows something about great tits and that little shit Putin doesn’t have great tits.
I’ll steal his lunch money. Tell him, Big Red Car. Tell him that The Donald says, “No more lunch money. No more wedgies. There’s a new sheriff in town, you little shit!”
BRC: Mr. Trump, I know you want to get to Matt’s El Rancho, so I will not keep you. Maybe when you return, we can speak a little more?
TD: Thanks, Big Red Car. Come on. Come with us. It’ll be terrific! Trust me.
They’re preparing a feast for us — fajitas and a lot of other stuff I don’t know how to pronounce.
I’m going to be a terrific President for TexMex — gonna serve it at state dinners. Make the French eat enchiladas when the come to DC. Bunch of freakin’ snail eaters. Should have stopped with French fries. Freedom fries!
BRC: Mr. Trump, one last question? Are you afraid that someone might poison you at Matt’s El Rancho because of your inflammatory comments in regard to illegal aliens?
The interview was concluded and The Donald continued to Matt’s El Rancho. Others said that Mr. Trump didn’t touch his food.
But, hey, what the Hell do I really know anyway? I’m just a Big Red Car.
Hilarious 🙂
That’s a total riot!
Yes, as BRC captured, TD has a certain style, one that usually would be regarded as impossibly crude, inappropriate, and offensive. But somehow that style has worked wonders for TD’s poll numbers.
I agree with TD that we need some better leadership in the Oval Office, to start, even just some actual, at least positive, effective leadership. E.g., on negotiating, we need a POTUS who at least knows which side of the table he’s supposed to sit on. If between now and 2017 we need a real POTUS, then we could be in real trouble.
TD looks both sincere and determined. He’s convincing me that he really wants to help the country.
The TD style is a negative with me personally, but it’s not nearly the worst problem I can see in the leadership of the US — e.g., doesn’t compare with what W did in Iraq or how O let ISIS have, what was it, 2000 Humvees. I can put up with the style. Besides, so far the style seems to be part of getting some astounding poll numbers. It would have been really easy for TD to still be back in the single digits. That, instead, he’s way out in front is a biggie. He really pulled that off, nothing but net, from the back court.
Also the style has TD put his reputation, self-esteem, etc. very much on the line so that he will receive one heck of a lot of ridicule if he gets elected but doesn’t deliver. That is, with his style, he looks like a total fool if he doesn’t deliver. Or, maybe he likes looking like a total fool when he knows he can deliver: Then before hand, just due to the style, people call him a fool; he delivers; then the critics look like the fools; and his victory is even larger, but all of which requires that he, what’s the word, deliver.
That is, it’s easy to guess that in his run for POTUS he wants some things, in particular, praise and respect from delivering on his promises and goals, and wants those things really badly. So, he looks like he very much wants the job, is highly motivated to do well at it, and has an impressive track record at getting some significant things done — that combination is supposed to be a positive situation for hiring someone.
So, I’m looking for something about TD that means that he can’t provide the leadership we need, and so far I’m not seeing anything serious. In particular, I’m not ready to conclude that his style is some out of control result of some serious problems between his ears.
He’s an extreme guy, not an ordinary man, but an ordinary man is not what we need.
Then I’m looking for a better alternative, and I’m not seeing that either.
He’s not an idiot, and it appears that he is able to adjust his act depending on the circumstances.
The US voters like to vet a candidate over an interval of time, and it’s still several months until the first primaries. So, one objective a candidate has in August is just to let the public get to know them, and my take on TD’s style yesterday in Alabama, just slowly walking to the stage, alone, no tie, like just an ordinary guy, was an attempt to let people just get to know him, i.e., see his heart on is sleeve. Similarly for giving the rides to the kids in Iowa. Maybe he’s fooling a lot of people including me, but maybe not.

Brilliant analysis, as usual.
The short longevity — can that be correct — of his popularity and the degree of it, particularly when compared to Jeb Bush’s status, is telling.
So many of his critics are looking for the sell by date, the shelf life, the lobotomy scars and finding none have given him real credibility.
TheDonald is a driven person and like many driven persons his reward is in part the ego enrichment and self-esteem nourishment that comes from getting stuff done that others struggle with.
Building tall buildings is incredibly complex. He is a master at it.
Politics is broken. The outcomes from professional politicians of both parties is completely unsatisfactory. The Congress polls worse than a barbed wire enema.
Your analysis of his Southern strategy is perfect. TheDonald let the South take him for a test drive in Mobile by the bay.
I am amazed at his longevity but it is real. Unless Jeb Bush catches fire — no chance — the traditional Republican establishment is not going to be picking the nominee.
Since Trump can self-fund, they have virtually no leverage over him.

TD Act I has ended with a standing ovation.
Now we are looking for Act II where we’ll see, say, his tax plan (supposedly in draft), maybe more of the legal details surrounding the 14th Amendment, see some interviews less easy to imitate or parody, meet his wife, see some more issues, maybe some from current events, see some more strategy on primary vote counts, see how he pushes back against Bush, etc., see what happens to Hillary and/or Biden, see how TD builds and runs his ground game, see how he paces himself to and through the primaries, see what else TD does in the debate on the Iran deal, see if the MSM can cook up some TD scandals, etc.
More fun to watch than baseball, and more important.
BRC, just checking…did he call you a clown?
He did NOT call me a clown. However, he did call Paul Rand a clown — a little one at that. I didn’t report that fact since I felt it was a bit of an ad hominem attack and the BRC does not condone ad hominem attacks.
Much goodwill to all in NH.
