The liberal comedy stylings of Barack Obama and Seth Myers are to blame for Donald Trump.

With only 50 days to go, it's worth it to ask one last time, "why is Donald Trump even doing this?" There are a lot of plausible answers, but the one that makes the most sense is that Trump wants revenge for being humiliated.

Somewhere under that blonde crash helmet, tiny brass gears are turning.

This explanation also follows Trump's Razor, which is like Occam's Razor, except it says the stupidest explanation for Trump's behavior is usually the correct one. Donald Trump is running for president because, on April 30, 2011, Seth Myers and Barack Obama brutally double-teamed him in front of one of America's fanciest crowds and left him for dead.

"Whatever," you're saying, "he showed up knowing he'd take a few punches." No, he didn't. Despite leading a smear campaign against the President, Trump accepted the invitation of a newspaper publisher's daughter to attend the dinner. Talking to reporters in the long security line, Trump was actually asked if he was nervous, considering Hawaii had just released his long-form birth certificate. "No," Donald said, "I don't think Obama would address me." Instead, after mocking Trump indirectly with a Lion King clip of his "birth video," this is what Obama said about Trump directly.

Donald Trump is here tonight! (Laughter and applause.) Now, I know that he’s taken some flak lately, but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald. (Laughter.) And that’s because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter –- like, did we fake the moon landing? (Laughter.) What really happened in Roswell? (Laughter.) And where are Biggie and Tupac? (Laughter and applause.)

But all kidding aside, obviously, we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience. (Laughter.) For example -- no, seriously, just recently, in an episode of Celebrity Apprentice -- (laughter) -- at the steakhouse, the men’s cooking team cooking did not impress the judges from Omaha Steaks. And there was a lot of blame to go around. But you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. And so ultimately, you didn’t blame Lil’ Jon or Meatloaf. (Laughter.) You fired Gary Busey. (Laughter.) And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night. (Laughter and applause.) Well handled, sir. (Laughter.) Well handled.

Trump learned an important lesson in that moment: no matter how rich and famous you are, the President can belittle you in front of 3,000 of the most influential people in America. Indeed, Trump has never directly insulted Obama since in the way he does fellow Republicans or Hillary Clinton. Simply put, Obama humiliated Trump so badly that Trump is afraid of him. Trump knows Obama, unlike every 2016 candidate, can successfully roast him. The only way for Trump to get Obama back would be to become president himself.

But Obama's routine wouldn't have pushed Trump over the edge if he wasn't followed by Seth Meyers.

Meyers was best known in 2011 as the anchor of Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update (he was also head writer at SNL), as this was before he took over Late Night. Weekend Update is almost entirely setup and punch-line zingers, sometimes a rarity in comedy today, and Meyers let one after another tear into Trump.

And then of course there's Donald Trump. Donald Trump has been saying he will run for President as a Republican, which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke.

Donald Trump often appears on Fox, which is ironic because a Fox often appears on Donald Trump's head. If you're at the Washington Post table with Trump and you can't finish your entree, don't worry – the Fox will eat it.

And if I can for a moment talk about the birther issue – when did we get so suspicious about where people were born? A USA Today poll last week said 38% of Americans think the President was definitely born in the US. In the same poll – in the very same poll – only 5% more said Donald Trump was definitely born in the US. Has it reached the point where Americans only think someone was born here if they saw it? I know I was born here, and I know my younger brother was born here, but when it comes to my older brother, I can only take him at his word.

Gary Busey said recently that Donald Trump would make a great President. Of course he said the same thing about an old rusty bird cage that he found.

Donald Trump owns the Miss USA Pageant, which is great for Republicans since it will streamline their search for a Vice-President.

Donald Trump said recently he has a great relationship with the blacks, but unless the blacks are a family of white people I bet he is mistaken.

I like that Trump is filthy rich, but nobody told his accent. His whole life is models and gold leaf and marble columns, but he still sounds like a know-it-all down at the OTB.

Mr. Trump may not be a good choice for President, but he would definitely make a great Press Secretary. How much fun would that be? 'Kim Jun Il is a loser – his latest rally was a flop. I feel bad for Ahmadinejad – the man wears a wind breaker, he has no class. I on the other hand sell my own line of ties. You can find them at Macy's in the flammable section.'

As soon as Meyers finished, Trump and Melania got up and left. Much like Obama, Trump has never since directly attacked Meyers the way he's insulted into Colbert, Stewart, and other late-night comedians. Trump even made up a feud that didn't exist with John Oliver. Trump would likely say it's because Meyers has low ratings, but that's what Trump says about Morning Joe and according to his Twitter, Trump watches (and insults) that show every day. Donald Trump avoids conflict with people who have taken him on and won. At least until he can be sure he has the upper hand.

So why didn't Trump immediately run for President? Well, for one, he'd just signed a new contract with Celebrity Apprentice, a Trump property that actually made money and kept him in the spotlight. For another, he'd be facing Obama, who proved he could humiliate Trump in public. But unlike Trump's previous flirtations with running going back to 1988, by 2013 he was actually serious (and still tweeting about Obama's birth). The first people to hear this were New York Republicans, who approached him to run for Governor. Trump received them warmly, but told the skeptical operatives his goals were higher. Not long after, he met Corey Lewandowski, his first of three campaign managers, and began collecting a small but admiring staff. Meyers and Obama have continued to mock him, but being a real candidate has given him the armor he lacked on that fateful April night.

Since then, despite his alleged laser focus on immigration, the core message has really been "we're taking our country back." Annoyed liberals often ask "from whom?" but his supporters know the answer, and it's Barack Hussein Obama. Clearly, Obama had reason enough to want revenge on Trump, and Meyers would have been silly to ignore the huge target in the room, but that wonderful night of liberal schadenfreude has come at a terrible price.

Here's the scientific case against wearing tampons in under 4 minutes.

The next time you're bleeding from your wherever, think twice before reaching for a tampon. As a woman, you may use as many as 12,000 menstrual hygiene products and create 300 pounds of waste over the course of your lifetime. And since 81% of women use tampons, that's a whole lot of garbage. Tampons are also expensive and carry a low risk of dangerous Toxic Shock Syndrome.

Advice columnist Amy Dickinson can't believe it when dude writes in just to mansplain mansplaining to her.

Advice columnist AmyDickinson's response to a mansplainer who felt the need to mansplain "mansplaining" to her was tweeted by reporter Greta Johnson on Thursday, and it is indeed a gem.

A man named Mark R. Bates, of the National Coalition For Men (which is a real thing), took a moment away from being oppressed by women to write to the "Ask Amy" author, informing her that she was using a term she didn't understand.

Luckily, he was kind enough to mansplain it to her.

The mansplanation Bates sent to "Tell Ask Amy":

Dear Amy: You used the word “mansplaining” in your reply to “Perplexed.” I don’t think it means what you think it means.

Mansplaining is a sexist word used by feminists to shut down any debate with a man if they think they can’t win with their argument.

Your use of it in your column is offensive to anyone who is capable of a logical discussion.
— Mark R. Bates, National Coalition For Men

And here's Amy's reply (i.e. "Amysplaing"):

Dear Mark: Others complained that I had misused the word “mansplaining,” but you are the only person to mansplain while doing it.

“Mansplaining” is a slang term used for when men co-opt ideas, thoughts or concepts generated by a woman and then re-explain these concepts back to her in a highly patronizing and “expert” way. (See above.)

Dickinson had initially used the word "mansplain" as a tossaway joke in one of her columns, a response to a woman who was worried her husband was cheating.

The evolution of the term began (as far as anyone can tell) with author Rebecca Solnit's book, Men Explain Things To Me.

Love sours. Hearts get broken. More often that not, one person dumps the other, and the jilted will say anything to try to get back the person that doesn't want them anymore. How did these redditors ever think these statements would actually re-ignite romance?

1. IngeniousMayhem wasn't born yesterday. She's not going to fall for the old "fake coma" ruse.

"Can you remind me why we broke up? I crashed my motorcycle and was in a coma for a week. I have memory loss and can't remember much from the past year. I dont remember breaking up. Things seemed so good, why did they end?"

Unbeknownst to him, I was close with one of his friends at that time. None of that ever happened

2. pleasegetoffmycase dated someone who has seen too many movies.

"I just miss the boy I used to know," then she turned around and walked away. She later texted me, "I wanted you to run after me."

3. A hand up not a hand out, right, woody527?

I once dated this guy who literally carved my name into his hand. He said he did it because he couldn't afford a tattoo. And when I broke up with him for it he said " but, your name is carved into my hand!!" I'm not sure if that was suppose to me me stay, or if he at that moment, realized how stupid he was.

4. Think again, whoever dated Leetleone.

"I thought you'd miss me by now". Ummm, no you lying cheating bastard.

5. Maybe GraphicDesignMonkey realizes now how selfish and inattentive they'd been.

'Ok I know it was bad to dump you while you were in intensive care, but you were really bumming me out. You're a lot better now, though, so it's all good."

6. Not climaxing is nine-tenths of the law, PrepaidDwarf.

"He didn't cum so it wasn't cheating!" - said after catching her fucking another guy in my bed.

7. KylerTopFlight got his last chance until he got his last chance. For now.

my phone rings"Hey just wanted to let you know that I'm getting married this afternoon and I'm pregnant so now is your last chance..."

2 years latermy phone rings"Hey, I'm pregnant again and getting married again...this is your real last chance..."

'I know i cheated, but your dick was better than his'

9. If McDonald's delivered, zebra_butts would've never gotten the chance to get wooed back.

"I just don't think either of us have the right mental state to date other people right now. Come home please. Bring McDonalds"

10. User aranjelais could've had the old guy, except he was the new guy, but he was still the old guy.

A month after we had broken up, I started dating a new guy. My ex told me that he would cut his hair to look like the new guy's, dress like the new guy, and act exactly like the new guy if I got back with him.

11. IcemanofEA's story shows us that "negging" can be attempted even in a long-term relationship.

"Im the only one that wants you"

12. Come on, LunaOona. Betray your very nature to date some jerk.

"I know you're not into men but I love you."

13. Deep down, every woman, even iwasbornon420 dreams of being the one left after the process of elimination.

"I know it's been like a year, but I've asked out 4 other girls and they've all said no. So I thought I'd try again with you."

14. Prettypinkscarf's ex-husband tried to get her back with what are clearly lines of poetry he stole from Shakespeare.

My abusive ex-husband sent me a long, impersonal email three years after I left him. My favorite part was: "We should get back together. I don't want to be with you, but by some miracle of God, I might grow to tolerate or even enjoy your company."

15. Troll_Flogger apparently dated a member of The Cure.

Left a dead rose in my mailbox after calling my house about 100 times. Called later and asked if I liked my "present" and told me that's how he feels without me, dead and withered. Somehow, I was not moved to take him back.

16. Teenage boys say dumb and creepy stuff all the time. What one said to aDILF418 is the dumbest and the creepiest.

"If your first born child is mine, I will eat the placenta."

We were fifteen. I had to google the word placenta to figure out wtf he was talking about

17. Because Mom said so, Cpt_Marmalade.

"The ghost of my mother came to me in a dream and told me that I have to fight for us to be together. I can't disappoint her spirit"

18. Some solid if circular logic from the ex of Rxy701.

"Everyone thinks you're only with your new boyfriend because of his money, that wouldn't happen if we got back together."

19. That logic from jeffjones30's ex didn't work, but then it really didn't work.

"I didnt fuck both of the twins, I only fucked one"

Spoiler... She did fuck them both

20. User cooljeopardyson dated herself a real straight-shooter.

"Your sisters are hotter than you, but I like your personality best." Thanks a peach, but no thanks.

21. User ligamentary had to sort through a whole thing about time travel and time paradoxes from her ex and…it worked.

"We were meant to be together. And if we don't then we'll alter the future and retroactively destroy the past. Neither you nor I will have ever even been born if we don't stay together."

I married him.

A portion of this was in our vows.

James Corden got to the bottom of the 'Stranger Things'/'Parks and Rec' paternity theory.

The internet was abuzz this summer with the universe-crossing fan theory that the beautifully coifed Steve Harrington from Stranger Things(Joe Keery) is the biological father of present-day Hoosier Jean-RalphioSaperstein from Parks and Rec (Ben Schwartz).James Corden got the two together (sadly not in a car) to explore the father-son connection.

The two took photos behind the scenes, and the world turned Upside Down.

Last month on the Late Late Show, Ben Schwartz explained how J.R. was conceived after Steve and Nancy got close after the traumatic event in the Upside Down. Barb would not approve.

Still missing in the theory? How one Mona Lisa Saperstein fits in. It's possible she could be a biological Saperstein, or she's the lost twin not even Steve and Nancy want to acknowledge.

The photo shows the cover of a magazine called Girls' Life, which has headlines about makeup and fashion and how to "wake up pretty," next to a magazine called Boys' Life (the two publications are not affiliated) with images of professional tools and headlines encouraging them to "explore your future." Problem? You betcha.

Schumer shared the comparison photo with just the caption, "no."

Schumer's post caught Lively's eye, and she quickly posted the photo on her own Instagram, saying, "Wow. @amyschumer I second that emotion. Ladies, let's not let this happen anymore..."

But seriously. Let's not let this happen anymore.

New Clinton ad featuring young girls takes aim at Trump's sexist track record.

Shots have been fired in this new ad from Hillary Clinton's campaign, which eviscerates Donald Trump for his hideous track record regarding women and girls. The ad, which airs today in some states, features images of young girls looking in the mirror, intercut with sexist comments Trump has made about women.

"I'd look her right in that fat ugly face of hers," he says in the ad, a comment he made about Rosie O'Donnell in 2006. "She is a slob." That's not even the worst one.

The ad is brutal. And completely on the mark. In the end, Clinton's campaign asks: "is this the campaign we want for our daughters?" (I don't have a daughter but Trump is not the President I'd want even for my Chia Pet.)

Clinton has emphasized throughout her campaign that Trump would not be equipped to handle issues relating to women and girls (or men and boys, for that matter). "Anyone who wants to defund Planned Parenthood and wipe out safe, legal abortion has no idea what's best for women," Clinton said in June."And after all, this is a man who has called women 'pigs,' 'dogs,' and 'disgusting animals.' Kind of hard to imagine counting on him to respect our fundamental rights."

Please don't forget to vote in November especially if you have a uterus or know someone who does.

Horrified woman suddenly recognizes her new boss from that time he sent her inappropriate pics.

A 21-year-old retail employee is going viral with the nightmare story of how she recognized her new boss because they'd previously matched on Tinder, and then it all came flooding back: he had sent dick pics. The horror.

Laura, who has chosen to keep her last name anonymous, commemorated the event by tweeting our her predicament, writing, "If you think your life is bad, we got a new manager in work today and I matched with him on Tinder last year and he sent me d*** pics. RIP.”

"I work in retail and almost s*** myself," she told The Mirror Online.

Nevertheless, she is keeping her cool for one reason. Despite the fact that this guy sent her pics of his privates, he doesn't seem to remember having done it.

"It's all good, I don't think he recognises me. He didn't say anything," she explained.

She went on to describe the images further, saying they were "general dick pics."

So I guess no harm, no foul balls? But what should she say if he ever does bring it up? "Small world, huh?"

Kylie's got a fun nervous habit of drumming on her stomach.

On the Brooklyn stop of her F*ck The World Tour, Kesha (along with her band the Creepies) performed "You Don't Own Me," by Lesley Gore, a song that basically sums up her fight against Sony and record producer Dr. Luke. This footage of the same song is from her August performance in Louisville, Kentucky.

In the clip, she says, "Since I can't put out my own new music right now, this song took some words right out of my [BLEEP] mouth."

She started the Brooklyn show off by saying, "Anything outside of these four walls doesn't matter tonight. I'm talking about rent. I'm talking about homework. I'm talking about your shitty ex-boyfriend. I'm talking about my lawsuit. F*ck that!" She also told her fans how much she missed them.

In place of the new songs that she claims do exist ("I can't share my new music with you, and I can't wait for that. Pray that day will come."), she played covers along with her own songs, including ​"Nightclubbing," by Iggy Pop (which she proclaimed her "favorite song of all time,"), "Jolene," by Dolly Parton, and "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You," a country classic written by her own mother, Pebe Sebert.

Using tanning beds may force you to have an awkward conversation with your sexual partner.

If skin cancer wasn't enough of a threat to avoid tanning beds, then maybe the prospect of getting herpes will do the trick. Because, as it turns out, getting herpes and other STDs from a tanning bed is highly possible. It actually happens more often than you'd think.

Dawn Marie Davies, associate professor of dermatology at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, told Yahoo:

In my practice, I've seen acquired bacterial infections, warts, and herpes infections from tanning beds. Ultraviolet light can theoretically kill germs, but it's not enough to kill germs on the tanning bed...

WHAT?! Uh, this is terrifying. Oh wait, it gets worse.

What's interesting is that when you use the ultraviolet light over and over again - and the tanning bed lights are on for multiple hours a day - if the bacteria or virus is exposed to some antiseptic but not enough to kill it, or some light but not enough to kill it, it can grow stronger and then it becomes resistant.

Are we talking about herpes or Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

Remember, there's no cure for herpes, although it can be treated. A person is most infectious during a random flare-up, or, as it turns out, while they're trying to look sexy on a tanning bed.

Let's just adjust our thinking on sexy, and start to find pale sexy. It's easy, watch. Oh wow, your skin is so milky smooth, it's like I've fallen into a bath of baby powder…

Mom diagnosed with 'cancerous growth' discovers it's something much better. Actually, two somethings.

Life is a roller coaster for everyone (and I wish I wasn't so afraid of roller coasters), but especially for an Australian woman named Tina Breen. The Daily Mail reports that the 39-year-old mother of four was told she had a "cancerous growth." Months later, doctors finally realized she was actually pregnant with twins.

Breen was feeling tired and sick and gaining weight for about six months. So she went to three different doctors and underwent a bunch of tests for obscure diseases. One doctor told her she had a "bowel obstruction or a cancerous growth," but no one could figure it out.

Then finally, at 24 weeks (around six months), a doctor studied one of her scans and realized that she was pregnant with what turned out to be healthy twins. "It took me a long time to deal with the pregnancy," she told the Daily Mail. "I knew that in a matter of weeks I'd have to change my life to fit two babies in—my car, my job, my lifestyle, everything."

The single mom also has four other kids, ages 21, 19, 16, and five, who were apparently ​"heaps more positive" about the pregnancy than she was. "They were probably the most positive," she said. "Their excitement really helped me through."

Congrats to Breen and her two adorable little not-tumors. May the rest of their lives be less like a roller coaster and more like a tilt-a-whirl.

Woman trapped in Port-a-Potty during movement. The other kind of movement.

Port-a-Potties are the worst. They're especially bad at festivals, where they've been used by thousands of people. For one woman at a music and beer festival in the UK last weekend, her Port-a-Potty experience became infinitely worse when the Port-a-Potty began to move while she was on the toilet. (No, it didn't move spontaneously, like the Port-a-Potty in this gif.)

Staff moved the Port-a-Potties because of a security incident, but obviously failed to check if anybody was in there.

David Munden, the event chairman, told the Plymouth Herald:

We went to move the ladies toilets, and despite checking and calling we got no response... So they moved the toilet out to let the ambulance in, and when it moved she screamed and said she was locked in it. They released her and luckily she saw the funny side of it. We have to make the toilets moveable because of letting emergency vehicles in.

The funny (and smelly) side of it. We're glad she was able to laugh about it, because like, what else can you do when you're trapped in a moving Port-a-Potty?
