Georgia delegate brings Donald Trump doll along for convention

As the Georgia delegation to the Republican National Convention prepared to attend the welcome party Sunday night at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, delegate Ellen Diehl was showing off her talking Donald Trump doll.

It was a popular item in the lobby at the Holiday Inn near the Cleveland Clinic with several delegates snapping photos of miniature Trump just before they boarded their bus to the event.

Diehl says she bought the doll “years ago at a discount store.”

With the press of a button, it spouts some 17 or so of Trump’s favorite sayings.

And yes, it will tell you “you’re fired,” among other things.
