Good work, Pat. Now if only The Donald would bunker down in his Manhattan penthouse and just count his money, we'd all be grateful.

@clonmel21- I should be ashamed for appreciating political satire? Really? And you think that only Democrats could? How bizarre! As I don't happen to BE a Democrat, your argument doesn't hold water. But you're right about one thing- Mr. Trump is not someone for whom I have a great deal of respect. I've lived in the northeast my whole life, and as such, I've been aware of his business dealings and personal antics through the years. Not a class act. I wouldn't trust the man personally, or in business dealings (3 wives, 3 bankruptcies), never mind politically. Dear clonmel21- opinions will always differ, no problem, but if you see the world only in terms of 'us' vs. 'them', 'conservative' or 'liberal' you'll be missing a lot. The world is a lot more complicated than that.

@ feeney - Trump is all GOP and all you have to do is take a look at the who bunch of them to see it, they're all wack jobs with nothing to offer but spin, race baiting and pandering to the lowest common denominator. In fact, THAT is how you tell they're Republicans.

Good points, but Donald should wear a turban to control his contouring locks!

I thought the Irish Central was above this type junk, but I suppose it was written by some far left knee jerk wannabe an Obama deciple. Still gets his or her news from Whoopie, Bill M.,Joey B., Opra W., and such jerks like that. I could give 100 things that Ms. Roberts and Nancy Pelosi have in common, but if you watched Nancy this past year I don't need to list them. Grow up Bobby and put a little thought in what you write.

TO marilynroserose I bet you would not call it "satire" if Trump were a democrat. Shame on you.

This article is in extremely poor taste. I am not really a fan of The Donald. However, this takes criticism to a new low.

Anyone who thinks Mr. Trump has 'class' either doesn't understand the meaning of the word, or hasn't been paying attention for the the last 20 yrs! You can call him a lot of things, but classy isn't one of them. He's proven by his actions through the years that he is an ego driven, shamelessly self promoting blowhard. As for this list not being intelligent or substantive- it's called political satire. Look it up.
