| Trump may be trying to spin last night’s 3am Twitter meltdown as proof that he’s got the stamina to be president - “at least you know I will be there, awake, to answer the call!” he tweeted - but Twitter is providing some pretty hilarious rebuttals. | |

| @realDonaldTrump or, y'know, to tweet stuff | |
| @realDonaldTrump @PhilipRucker I suspect that call at 3 am will be necessary because of a Tweet sent at 2:30 am. | |
| @realDonaldTrump that's like saying "hey, at least I work out" when your workout is punching a beehive. | |

| Donald Trump made cameo in softcore pornographic film in 2000 | |
| Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s distaste for former Miss Universe Alicia Machado’s alleged appearance in a nonexistent sex tape appears to run counter to his own background, according to a report from Buzzfeed News: Trump appeared as himself in a softcore girl-on-girl pornographic film produced by Playboy in 2000. | |
| Trump’s (clothed) role in the Playboy Video Centerfold film features him opening a bottle of champagne and pouring its contents on a Playboy-branded limousine and welcoming a bevvy of Playboy playmates to New York City. | |
| “Beauty is beauty, and let’s see what happens with New York,” Trump says in the film. | |
| According to Buzzfeed News, the rest of the film isn’t so PG: | |
| Other scenes from the film feature fully nude women posing in sexual positions, dancing naked, touching themselves while naked, touching each other sensually, rubbing honey on themselves, taking a bath, and dressing in costumes. | |
| The VHS cover of the video reads: ‘From luxuriating in a warm, soapy tub, to reveling at an exclusive night club, Carol and Darlene bare their sex appeal and lead you on a sensual journey of discovery.’ | |

| According to a hacked recording of a conversation with campaign donors at a private event in February, according to the Intercept, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton described herself as “center-left to the center-right” as far as how she fits on the political spectrum, a position that will likely not endear her to the liberal Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic party ahead of the election. | According to a hacked recording of a conversation with campaign donors at a private event in February, according to the Intercept, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton described herself as “center-left to the center-right” as far as how she fits on the political spectrum, a position that will likely not endear her to the liberal Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic party ahead of the election. |
| On the other side, there’s just a deep desire to believe that we can have free college, free healthcare, that what we’ve done hasn’t gone far enough, and that we just need to, you know, go as far as, you know, Scandinavia, whatever that means, and half the people don’t know what that means, but it’s something that they deeply feel. | On the other side, there’s just a deep desire to believe that we can have free college, free healthcare, that what we’ve done hasn’t gone far enough, and that we just need to, you know, go as far as, you know, Scandinavia, whatever that means, and half the people don’t know what that means, but it’s something that they deeply feel. |
| So as a friend of mine said the other day, I am occupying from the center-left to the center-right. And I don’t have much company there. Because it is difficult when you’re running to be president, and you understand how hard the job is - I don’t want to overpromise. I don’t want to tell people things that I know we cannot do. | So as a friend of mine said the other day, I am occupying from the center-left to the center-right. And I don’t have much company there.

This is not just new.” He also insisted that he thought his candidacy would draw more Hispanic customers than otherwise, insisting: “I think you will get more business.
