Donald Trump, shown making an ass of himself by opening his mouth
-Headline of the day-
"Trump says he is Obama campaign's 'worst nightmare'."
White House adviser David Plouffe answered a question about Donald Trump on some talking head program this weekend and Trump sees that as proof that he has the Obama administration all scaredy-pantsed.
"I am leading a lot of polls and doing very well," Trump told some foxbot on the network's weekly Ask Donald Trump Fawning Questions segment. "I can tell you I am their worst nightmare."
A slight problem here: Donald Trump isn't leading in any poll. A recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll (pdf) puts The Donald tying with Mike Huckabee for second place behind Mittens Romney -- and that's just for the GOP nomination. To give you any idea of the size of the Trump groundswell that poll measured, 17% gives you second place. So yeah, "leading" is just a tad wide of the truth there.
But hey, anything to keep a publicity stunt for a flailing reality show host going, right? (CNN)
