    Mental image of him dancing, which looks like a drunk person churning butter.

  • fuzzyfuzzyfungus

    When Trump goes after somebody on ‘class’ we all receive an object lesson in the true meaning of ‘bringing a knife to a gunfight’…

  • Wolf Butler

    He probably used “password” for his Twitter password…

    • http://twitter.com/AbelUndercity Abel Undercity

      It’s actually “MyBadHairLife”.  He denies it, but he knows the truth.  Why do you think the hair is cropped out of the Twitter av pic?

  • CSBD

    Awwww yeah…. there’s Trump.  He pimpin, we all hatin.

    Seriously, I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that some stupid underling is tweeting for him.  There is no way that “The Donald” went full on gangsta… is there?

    • C W

      Yeah, my guess is the unpaid “intern” whose nouveau riche parents shelled out 10k for their brilliant darling to be “networked” into a go-nowhere bankruptin’ not-paying-his-contractors only useful for shilling MLM schemes career.

  • Brainspore

    You can’t spell “class” without “ass.”

    • Antinous / Moderator

      You also can’t spell “Trump” without “rump”, so there’s some symmetry there.

      • Brainspore

        Tru.

      • RHK

         I like. Think I’ll refer to him as Donaldt Rump from now on.

        • Brainspore

          Or “Donald T. Rump.” That way you can come up with any manner of entertaining words that the “T” might stand for.

  • Jorpho

    So, he is asserting his intention to not attend a lecture whose audience includes people with inflated opinions of their classiness?

  • http://www.geekforce.com Hugh Johnson

    Trolls die when you don’t feed them, y’know.

    • wysinwyg

      I’ve seen very little reason to believe this. Seems like ignoring trolls is usually taken as an invitation to make even more noise so as to drown out any real discussion by people who are trying to ignore them. I guess I could be wrong about this.

      • http://www.gyrofrog.com/ Gyrofrog

        This is normally my attitude toward the fellow, but just this morning – for reasons I’ve yet to determine – I found myself wondering, “what’s become of Donald Trump? Haven’t heard anything out of him lately.”  And there it is…

      • glittalogik

        I assume Hugh is referring to literally cutting off their food supply. It’s slow but it’ll do the trick.

  • http://www.eff.org/ deaduncledave

    Ut… now he’s claiming his twitter account has been hacked. Really Don? That’s the best excuse you could come up with?

    • http://www.gyrofrog.com/ Gyrofrog

      Was there a big difference between (ostensibly) hacked and non-hacked?

      Or has it been hacked for the past 4 years and he just regained control of the account?

    • Brainspore

      How could he let that happen? I hear he’s a very smart guy.*

         Oh god, I’m coming down with a cold and your comment caused me to spit-take a mouthful of coffee directly into my sinuses. Owie!

    • carlogesualdodivenosa

       And the wonderful Graham Linehan responded unimprovably.

  • Lurking_Grue

    Stay Klassy!

  • euansmith

    My Boing Boing Account has been hacked. Please ignore everything that I post.

    • Antinous / Moderator

      I’m sorry. You are…..?

      • euansmith

         I’m not Donald Trump, so surely I score point for that?

  • http://evilbobdayjob.blogspot.com/ Deidzoeb

    If his tweets said, “I love Ivanka. She is my favorite of all my kids rofl,” then I could tell you exactly who hacked his account.

  • Afr0

    Why, oh why, did FIVE HUNDRED FORTY people (which has probably gone up by now) favorite the followup tweet? Have we really reached that point?
