Donald Trump created the most stressful job in America

The most stressful job in America is being Donald Trump’s teleprompter operator.
In every speech, he’ll go off on nine or 10 unscripted rants while the teleprompter guy waits.
Trump’s speechwriter, apparently, is passive-aggressive and keeps leaving stuff out. But the line that got all the attention on Wednesday was this line — and it definitely was in the script:
“Hillary Clinton is a bigot who sees people of color only as votes, not as human beings,” he said.

Mrs. Clinton has been occupied this week holding private fundraisers and not holding news conferences. But being called a bigot got her to pick up the phone, and say Trump should take a good look at what he sees in the mirror:
“Someone who has questioned the citizenship of the first African-American President, who has attacked a judge for his Mexican heritage, and promised a mass deportation force…” Clinton pointed out.
But Trump clearly believes that he can win over blacks and Hispanics by asking them how they’ve been helped by the Democrats they keep sending to Washington.
I think he’s serious. Have you heard his new walk-on music? He now walks on stage to Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries.”
Fun fact: Valkyrie in Norse mythology means “chooser of the slain.” Their job was to choose who died in battle and carry them to heaven. Since Trump does nothing by accident, I can only assume they also poll well in the swing states.
