Much ado about nothing
Donald Trump's much-touted presidential candidacy is even more preposterous than his "birther" claims about President Obama.
With the 2012 election more than 18 months away, it's a little bit early to start taking the various candidates and their claims seriously.
That goes double for the presidential boomlet surrounding real estate tycoon Donald Trump.
He's been in the news a lot lately, owing mostly to his celebrity status and the "birther" insults he has directed toward Obama. But he's not going to become president. It's hard to imagine that, when push comes to shove, a man of his background will even run.
Sure, he's making the rounds of television studios and political dinners touting his interest in being chief executive. But Trump is happiest when basking in public attention.
He craves the spotlight like a tomato plant craves sunshine. He feeds off it and will do anything to get it.
But Trump is a man who hates shaking hands, fearing the germs that are spread. Trump is a man who makes the most raging narcissist seem like a wilting violent. Trump is a man who has so little understanding of everyday Americans as to make the Queen of England look like a commoner.
So what's up with the hoopla? Bored political reporters are having their fun with "The Donald," building him up and knocking him down. Naturally, he's playing along because he loves attention.
After all, this is a man who just months ago was waging a televised feud with the actress Rosie O'Donnell. Presidential timber, he ain't. Don't fall for the hype.
your editor is nothing but a list of insults. Trump has more experience than Obama ever had, we need someone to turn the country around and fix the mess Obama has us in. As for Obamas citizenship why has he not released his long form Birth Certificate? what is he hiding, where are his grades? why is he hiding this too?
Whether you support the President of the United States, or not; he is the elected leader of this country. Now, the issue moves on regarding his grades in college. Where was the outcry regarding George Jr.'s grades? Let's face it. A large segment of the voting public are susceptible to right wing propaganda. The bigger, or more absurd the untruth repeated often enough will result in the lie being believed by certain levels of society. Donald Trump would be an excellent presidential candidate representing the Republican party. Sarah Palin would be an excellent vice presidential candidate to compliment the "Donald". It is not like they are actors..... Oops..... there was an actor who became president! Wait until Charlie Sheen declares support for the "Donald" in exchange for the F.C.C. chairmanship.
