From Infomercials to the White House? Donald Trump Runs for President
February 18th, 2011 by Paul Lucas
Real estate mogul Donald Trump is seriously considering a run to become the next President of the United States. To that end Trump and his comb-over recently joined several leading politicians and presidential hopefuls in giving a speech before the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) in Washington, DC.
Many pundits have questioned whether Sarah Palin could be taken seriously as a presidential contender after she decided to star in her own reality TV show. But the former Alaska governor is a mere neophyte compared to Trump, who has not only starred in his own reality TV show for years (The Apprentice) but has also appeared in several infomercials (as has been well chronicled on this blog).
If The Donald were actually become our 45th president he would be the first occupant of the Oval Office to have starred in his own TV infomercials. Not just long political ads people call ‘infomercials’ but actual paid programming designed to sell products (his real estate and wealth seminars in this case).
President Trump would be our first chief executive to berate the citizenry in speeches and have his State of the Union address routinely bleeped:
The peerless glory of President Trump would cause reporters, members of Congress, and foreign heads of state to choke up in his presence:
Unlike so many of our cowardly politicians, President Trump would provide real answers to hard-hitting public policy questions without spin or evasion:
On the other hand Donald Trump, owner of the Miss Universe pageant, would probably spend a great deal of his presidency flirting with and hitting on every beautiful woman who came into his presence…so it would just be like having Bill Clinton in office again. (*buh dum dum*)
