The Trump(it) President; entertainment guaranteed.


This is what I got when I keyed in his name:

Donald J Trump for President: Make America Great Again!

... real estate and entertainment. Show support for his presidential campaign here . ... Trump Banner. Show your Support for Donald Trump. Join Us. Donate ...

At least here is a man who is not afraid of admitting that America needs to be made "great" again. Most powerful nation in the world - it is; but "great" it is not - at least in the eyes of most people in the world. But again; the word is very subjective, and I don't intend to debate it. In my opinion there has been no greater nation than the US of A despite its many flaws. Ah! ah! ah! Subjective.

Hillary Clinton dismisses Trump campaign: 'It's entertainment'
CNN - 12 hours ago

And she is right. After all an entertainer (which he himself admits to being) will do what he is best at doing; specially when it's not just America; but the whole world watching the election. Entertainment is good. Actually; it is great. Specially for an easy to bore global audience that gets its high from a drug called excitement thanks to technology.

Dismissing Trump may not be such a great idea as this man has been written off several times in his business avatars, and each time has returned back larger than life.

Then the trending question

How will Donald Trump's campaign survive this one*, strategists wonder

By Eric Bradner, CNN 
referring to his attacks on Fox News host Megyn Kelly, his steadfast decision to lash out at anybody who questioned him, and Roger Sone's exit from his campaign.
Has anyone of the above wonderers bothered to check how many Donald Trump jokes are floating on the net? He insults and gets insulted just like McEnroe did each time he was on the tennis court. Even then; people cheered more for McEnroe despite him loosing to his iceberg opponent.

One can only speculate if DT thought he was playing "apprentice" with Roger Stone or if the later was playing "double or quits" with him. I am pretty sure there are many who would have emailed their CVs to DT in a flash to fill the spot. I heard a few from India applied too; but given his remarks on the immigrant community; doubt if any of my brethren will qualify.

Since it is a time for wondering about DT, let me do 5 of my own. Yeah! everyone is into numbers now:

1. Has he been influenced by Hitler on immigrants? And, does he know that virtually everyone in the US is an illegal immigrant - technically - historically.
2. Will he choose a woman as his running mate to win back the women to his side? Actually, his track record on loosing and getting women on his side is quite good too.
3. Think of it - if he became President; what would the value of all the "Trump Towers" around the world shoot up to?And, would he have time to run his business empire in addition to making US great again?
4. Then again - if he did not; would he write a bestseller "100 ways to loose a winning Presidential campaign".
5. After winning; would he play "The Apprentice" in the Senate and fire everyone not in agreement?

Actually "apprentice" reminds me that there is a young politician in India who could learn a lot from DT and his campaign. Specially how to turn negative into positive. So; rather than wasting his time shouting slogans from cheat sheets outside Parliament, and wasting tax payers money in disruption of proceedings (I can tell him for sure that it's not at all entertaining); he should contribute a large sum to DT's campaign (DT will even do an advert for that contribution) and buy-in an apprenticeship. (Otherwise, given our boy's record, may not be possible).

There was time when the Reagan campaign was written off as a bad joke and we all know what happened. Maybe America needs a businessman who knows how to get out of trouble. I don't think anything is going to bother him in his pursuit to be Mr. USA No.1 and let's get used to Mr. Trump blowing his trumpet for some more time to come; entertainment guaranteed.
