On Tuesday, authorities there decided he exceeded them, and ordered he remove anti-wind ads he'd paid for. The problem, as always with Trump, was hyperbole.
Newt Gingrich has picked up the support of Hollywood's noted crazy guy Gary Busey and racial-slur ex-MLB pitcher John Rocker, while Barack Obama picked up the support of Muammar Qaddafi (before ordering the attacks that lead to his death), while Ron Paul has the random drunk guy vote locked down.
Donald Trump has fallen so far that on Friday Rush Limbaugh discussed the idea, brought by a caller, that the reality star and momentary Republican kingmaker is actually President Obama's "Trojan horse."

After declining invitations to the Donald Trump-moderated reality television show Newsmax debate, Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman got speared by Trump on the Today show.

After what must have been a riveting presentation by Donald Trump, Rick Perry hints he's no longer sure President Obama was born in the United States.
