Donald Trump has bamboozled us again.
You're probably wondering what he could have possibly done this time, right?
Well, yesterday Trump tweeted an American flag campaign graphic with the hashtag #MakeAmericaGreatAgain-- and Nazi re-enactors marching along the bottom right corner.
Then, he topped a national poll for Republican candidates. (P.S., this all happened within the same hour.)
According to The Guardian, the Trump campaign later deleted the tweet and blamed the incident on "a young intern."
Meanwhile, he's leading a USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll with 17% support, and we're over here just SOH (shaking our heads).

Billionaire Donald Trump is losing corporate partnerships left and right, all the while oddly gaining leverage in the polls for the 2016 Presidential race.
In the wake of Trump's derogatory comments about Mexican immigrants ("They're sending people who have lots of problems (which include) drugs and being rapists,") Macy's has snipped ties with the Presidential candidate.
Macy's stock fell by less than .5%, a tiny margin indeed, but enough for Trump to triumphantly assume all his supporters had cut up their Macy's credit cards in protest.
Macy's was not the only corporation to say they're done with Trump. Serta, Univision and Comcast's NBC Universal all canceled plans to air Trump's Miss USA and Miss Universal pageants, according to Fortune.
In retribution, Trump sued Univision for $500 million and threatened legal action against NBC.
In what seems to us like a paradox, though, his poll status has risen, coming in a stunning second place (to Jeb Bush) in recent New Hampshire polls and rising in a national CNN poll.
Thx to all the people who called to say they are cutting their @Macys credit card as a protest against illegal immigrants pouring into US

People must be finding his antics so hilarious, they want to vote for him.
Either that, or there are Americans who really think Trump will be, in Trump's own words "the greatest jobs President that God ever created."

Today, in what's quickly becoming the most viral presidential announcement in recent memory, Donald Trump officially announced he's joining the other twelve Republican candidates in the 2016 Presidential Election.
Mr. Trump included in his speech a plan to build a wall between the United States and Mexico (by the way, he stated that Mexico would pay for the wall, whether they liked it or not).
He said about Mexican immigrants, "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people who have lots of problems (which include) drugs and being rapists."
Trump also blamed Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton for the recent upstate prison escape of two New Yorkers, saying of the prison, "interestingly, it's named Clinton."
The speech's brightest jewel, however, was this statement: I will be the greatest jobs president that God has ever created.
While Trump is extremely confident in the magnitude of his wealth, stating, "I'm really rich. I'm not saying that to brag," and, "I'm using my own money. I'm not using lobbyists. I'm not using donors. I don't care. I'm really rich," he's unconfident about the United States' ability to ward off ISIS.
Trump stated "Our enemies are getting stronger and we're getting weaker." As a result, Trump promised to locate his own General Patton to vanquish ISIS.
Trump vowed that if he's elected President, "Nobody, nobody will push us around."
