The New York Post reported today that Carlos Diaz, a 35-year-old homeless man, was held without bail yesterday after allegedly trying to set fire to his estranged wife and the boss who fired him from his job at an Inwood auto body shop. 

It started on Wednesday, when Diaz approached his wife, who he thought was cheating on him.  say he sprayed her in the face with lighter fluid, then set fire to her with a blowtorch. Her entire head was consumed, and she suffered burns to her face, lips and neck.

Next, Diaz went to his old shop and found his boss. Diaz doused him with gasoline, but somehow, his boss managed to scamper away. 

Apparently Diaz confessed to the crime, saying his goal was to "burn them both alive."

Billionaire blowhard Donald Trump is notorious for his vicious attacks on female celebrities -- like a teenage girl, he often uses Twitter to point out the physical flaws of his enemy du jour.

His most recent celbu-spat is with Cher. And, per usual, juvenile insults have (pardon the pun) trumped maturity, poise, and any sense of class.

Macy's is catching heat over its decision carry apparel that dons the name of the world's trashiest billionaire. The company has partnered with "The Donald" to sell his line of retail crap for years, but Trump's recent ramblings that America needs to stage a revolution against President Obama has prompted a petition urging the company to dump Trump. The petition has garnered more than 500,000 signatures.

Over the weekend, Cher chimed in.

Donald Trump Lays Claim on Phrase "Never Give Up"

Categories: Donald Trump's Twitter-verse, Douchebags

Here's some sports trivia you probably didn't know: When legendary North Carolina State University basketball coach Jim Valvano courageously told the world "Don't give up. . . . Don't ever give up," he was actually just paraphrasing billionaire wordsmith Donald Trump.

That, of course, is according to history's best revisionist, Donald Trump -- and his factually incompetent ego.

Trump's Twitter follies have been well chronicled by this publication. We often give daily updates on how "the Donald" makes an ass of himself on the social media website on any given (every) day. And on Saturday he credited himself with the phrase "never give up" -- as though those words were never uttered before Trump's breakthrough manual for greed and manipulation, The Art of the Deal.

Mitt Romney's Under-Utilized Secret Weapon: Donald Trump (According To Donald Trump)

Pardon our redundancy, but the sun came up today, which, of course, means one thing: America's stingiest billionaire made an ass of himself on Twitter.

On Wednesday, we started a petition to get Donald Trump kicked off the Internet, and we did so as a favor to him -- to keep things like this from continuously happening.

But Trump is still granted Internet access, so his 140-charecter or less nuggets of wisdom persist.

The latest: Mitt Romney could have won the the presidential election if he'd only asked Trump to campaign for him.

Donald Trump: "We Need Global Warming" -- And Other Ramblings From World's Trashiest Billionaire

(Sigh)
Yesterday, we started a petition to get billionaire slimeball Donald Trump thrown off the Internet as a public service to "the Donald" to keep him from continuing to make a complete ass of himself on Twitter.

Trump, as you probably know, made an ass of himself on the social media website on election night, which prompted NBC News anchor -- and bona fide class act -- Brian Williams to explain that Trump has "driven well past the last exit to relevance."

As we explained yesterday -- and have been chronicling for the last several months -- this wasn't the first time Trump has made a complete ass of himself in the Twtter-verse.

"'The Donald' made an ass of himself all day today -- and will continue to make an ass of himself tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day," we said yesterday.

Then today happened, and guess who made a complete ass of himself on Twitter.

Help us help him.
The sun came up yesterday, so it should come as no surprise to anyone that billionaire "Birther" bozo Donald Trump made a complete ass of himself.

In addition to making an ass of himself all day yesterday, "the Donald" made an ass of himself all day today -- and will continue to make an ass of himself tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day.

In an effort to save Trump from himself, we've started a petition to get him kicked off the Internet. And we -- and "the Donald" -- need your help.

Donald Trump Could Always Just Give $5 Million to Charity. But He Won't

By James King Thu., Oct. 25 2012 at 11:41 AM
Categories: Birthers (Sigh), Douchebags


Billionaire media slut Donald Trump's not-so-earth-shattering announcement yesterday that he will donate $5 million to a charity of President Barack Obama's choice if the president releases his college transcripts was essentially brushed off by the White House as the shameless PR stunt that it is.

Fox News described the offer as an act of "philanthropic extortion."

Even the president laughed it off during an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night.

In other words, no charity will see the money The Donald dangled in front of them. But that's not the president's fault, that's because Donald Trump is a stingy, carnival-barking phony.

Here's Donald Trump's Not-So-Major Announcement (Of Course It's Birther-Related)

By James King Wed., Oct. 24 2012 at 12:03 PM
Categories: Donald Trump, Douchebags, Media Slutiness

Billionaire publicity skank Donald Trump announced on Monday that he would be making a huge, gynormous, earth-shattering announcement on Twitter today at noon.

"It's all in one -- everything -- it's very big," the Donald said on Fox and Friends Monday.

As you can see in the video above, Trump's "major announcement" is just that he wants to throw his money around to try and prove the continuously debunked conspiracy theory that Barack Obama isn't a U.S. citizen.

Donald Trump Officially Is A 13-Year-Old Girl

Earlier this week, Donald Trump promised that his acts of scumbaggery towards Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington were just getting started. Today, the world's trashiest billionaire made good on his promise.

On Tuesday -- in fine 13-year-old girl fashion -- Trump took to Twitter to call Huffington ugly. He went on to "tweet" that "I fully understand why her husband left her for a man -- he made a good decision."

Now, he claims he intentionally raised rent to $100,000 at one of his apartment buildings to keep her from moving in.

Donald Trump Vows To Continue Making An Ass Of Himself

This guy has the gall to call someone "unattractive."
Just in case you were worried that America's trashiest billionaire was going to stop making a complete ass of himself every single day, you can relax -- Donald Trump has pledged to continue to act like an asshole; class, civility, and maturity be damned.

Trump has demonstrated -- time and again -- that he's immune to shame, and subsequently unaware when he should feel the normal human emotion of humiliation. Today is no exception.

As we reported earlier, The Donald -- who reportedly has been a little pissy as of late -- "tweeted" that Arianna Huffington is "unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man - he made a good decision."
