Donald Trump is running for president and all I can say is. WHY? Who would really vote for some old rich man to come and really mess up our government. I guess other rich white people or just most Republicans who want Obama out of office.
In all honesty, this entire brouhaha that Trump has been starting is borderline embarassing. Making statements about Barack Obama's birth certificate got him shot down today as it was released. Other statements are that Barack has been in metal bands, and cannot be trusted because of his ethnicity.
The sad part about all of this is it's getting Trump so much attention. We've talked about it in my various classes. People are always saying how he's wrong. No matter what though, this guy is getting attention and is beginning to be a "potential" candidate.
Though, most of the media is not taking this too friendly. The other night on The Daily Show (particularily the 4/25 edition) John Stewart had a segment dedicated to Donald Trump's recent media popularity. John talked about the recent polls for who republicans will vote for in 2012. The majority of people who participated in the poll had actually voted Donald Trump. John Stewart then went over the results of these polls in previous years for politicians running for candidacy. More times than not, these polls had shown left field candidates showing up in the number one spot due only to popularity in the media at the time. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama had both come in 10th place or lower in their polls even.
In my opinion Donald Trump is just an object of the public media. I do not blame Trump though, he is using it all to his advantage. On his own show, he is getting more attention than usual due to all the hype surrounding him. I believe the tables will begin to turn soon as Obama has released his birth certificate.
Also, check it out we've got the birth certificate and everything!
