Well, America, this is it: Donald Trump is officially announcing. What, exactly, we’re not sure. He said he’s “officially running for President of the United States,” but so far, the only take-home message of his big speech is that he’s certifiably nuts.
There were many golden moments, of course:
He just sold an apartment for $15 million to a guy from China. Is he supposed to dislike China?

Imagine Trump's cabinet meetings? "I love the Saudis! Call the head of Ford! China? I sold an apartment to a Chinese person."

Trump: "When did we beat Japan in anything?"
I'm just going to leave that there…

"When did we beat Japan at anything?" will be the most memorable line of this Trump speech, I suspect.

Sometimes, context doesn’t even matter. Sometimes, you just know someone’s off their rocker. This is most definitely one of those times.
"When did we beat Japan at anything?" I don't know–Little League World Series?

And then there was that whole World War II thing.
Trump "When did we beat Japan at anything?" Well, I can think of that one time…

In his mind, it’s never over. The circus can’t go on without a ringmaster.
I, for one, welcome @realDonaldTrump to the circus.
His bread is probably artisan.— Michelle Ray (@GaltsGirl) June 16, 2015
The clown has joined the circus. Donald Trump is running for President.
