Iamsemisweet -> Trumplestiltskin is a riot! (11/7/2012 8:45:14 AM)

Trump started out in a philosophical mood as the tide turned against Republican candidate Mitt Romney, musing "Well, back to the drawing board."
But it appears it was all too much for the property tycoon as reality of Mr Obama's clear win began to sink in.
"We can’t let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!”, Trump fired off on Twitter.
The Apprentice star, who toyed with a Republican presidential run, became increasingly irate, even calling for Americans to reject Mr Obama’s resounding victory.
"Let’s fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us. This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy."
The US "now in serious and unprecedented trouble…like never before", Trump tweeted, adding: "the electoral college is a disaster for democracy.”
Obama supporter and 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin was quick to return fire.
"You trust the voters when they choose The Apprentice. But not now?", Baldwin tweeted.
Trump has long been an outspoken critic of Mr Obama as a key figure in the "birther" movement, pressuring Mr Obama to release his birth certificate and prove he was born in the US and thus eligible for the White House. He managed to stay in the pubic eye with his recent claims of a "bombshell" about Mr Obama, which turned out to be a bizarre $5 million charity offer if Mr Obama would release his university transcript.
Appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno during the campaign, Mr Obama said he had never met Trump, but joked that the businessman's animosity dated back to their childhood soccer rivalry "in Kenya".
