This is, without irony, the coolest thing Trump will do. I'm pretty sure 99.9% of Iowans, and probably Americans, never have or will again get the chance to ride in a helicopter. My only complaint is he should bring a few helicopters so all the kids can get a turn.

The helicopter going all John Landis is IMO the only thing that can crash a Trump campaign.

As someone who spent their teenage years in the Conejo Valley (albeit in the mid 90s), this couldn't be more accurate.

So, if all of the manual labor jobs are gonna get replaced with machines, then does that mean we just take the 50% unemployment rate and deal with it or do we instill a basic income instead?

Haha, like there was ever an option.

I remember the first time I heard Linkin Park, and labelled it "music to rage to when mom won't let you take the SUV to the mall."

I feel entirely vindicated in that judgement.

Will you stop going crazy in there?

The funny thing is that physically demanding jobs are actually really loving bad for your health (although most jobs are, since the alternative is usually sitting around in an office which is also really loving unhealthy) so the sooner we automate them the better off everyone will be.

Except that we won't do anything about the fact that a huge number of people won't be qualified for any kind of work anymore and things will just be worse for everyone. The future is gonna be great.

Donald Trump is going to give kids free rides in his helicopter at the Iowa State Fair.

quote:

'We're going to fly it out to Iowa and I'm going to have it there,' he said in his Manhattan office, initially referring to the annual event as 'The World's Fair.'

'I look forward to that. I went there once years ago,' he said. 'It was so great. So many people.'

And so many Republican primary voters. With children.

'I'm going to try giving kids lifts in the helicopter,' he said near the end of a half-hour interview that ranged in topics from high finance to Hillary Clinton's 'low class.'

'You know, young kids. Yeah!' Trump said, sounding like a kid who's just built his first pinewood derby car.

'If I can do it – if I'm allowed to do it!'

If Trump can keep this popularity until the beginning of the primaries, he could maybe knock Scott Walker out early, which would be a service to America. Walker needs to win in Iowa. That said, it's a caucus, so that's probably not happening.
