Headline Reaction (The Donald Edition)

Headline (via Reuters):  Donald Trump says public scorn greater than he expected.

Reaction:  That’s because, a) when one is as egotistical as Trump, one tends to over-estimate how others view oneself, and b) there is a radical difference between being a celebrity and being a politician.

    Basically, the Donald can dish it out, but he can’t take it. Typical bully.

    Oh yes, I’m sure…about as much as he would worry about running against, say, Sarah Palin, Jerry Lewis, Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson…
