America, you’ve been punk’d

Donald Trump announced today that he wasn’t running for president after all.

Though he doesn’t admit it in the release, this may validate those who have thought all along that Trump’s ridiculous candidacy – which saw him wallowing in the depths of some of the dumbest conspiracy theories out there today – was nothing more than a huge practical joke.

Personally, I can’t decide if I buy that theory. On one hand, Trump appears to be a self-absorbed, humorless bastard. On the other hand, anyone who goes out in public in that hairdo cannot be completely without a sense of humor.

But, considering that, for a time, Trump was a Republican frontrunner, I think the joke may ultimately be on the GOP.
