Republicans are suffering a scarcity of presidential candidates — a real estate shark dominates the primaries.
A major U.S. newspaper recently ran an article showing how men should do their hair in order to look like Donald Trump. Step one is to blow-dry the sides toward the back until the ears are uncovered. Step two is to blow-dry the top toward the front so that it falls over the forehead crosswise, but in one piece; not in fringes.
It’s impossible to say with certainty just how many copycats really want to adopt the Trump Look, but the guy with all the gorgeous blondes has already accomplished one thing: The candidate merry-go-round has mainly been revolving around him for weeks already. Will Trump actually run for president in 2012? Is it true that he’s worth $3 billion? Or is he actually bankrupt? It’s as if the Trump Show is running on every channel simultaneously.
The magnate who looks for managerial talent on his TV show “The Apprentice” says he will make his intentions known in June, at the latest. He had a brief flirtation earlier with the Democrats, but that’s over now. If he chooses to run, it will be as a Republican because the number of competitors there is at least still manageable. Meanwhile, Trump is filling a vacuum while he indulges in cocktail lounge chatter.
He favors putting American boots on the ground in Libya, but only provided the United States gets Libya’s oil. Trump previously went on record concerning Iraqi oil saying, “You go in. You win the war and you take it.” The nine-year military venture in Iraq cost American taxpayers $1.5 trillion and Trump says he would get that back by diverting Iraqi oil profits to accounts in the United States. He also wouldn’t fool around for very long waging economic war on China. His solution is simply to slap a 25 percent duty on all Chinese imports into the United States unless China agreed to revalue its currency upwards. And as far as President Barack Obama is concerned, the 64-year-old did a spectacular about face.
Where he previously spoke of his respect for an Obama who pulled himself up by his bootstraps, he’s now firmly in the camp of the really envious who believe, despite all proof to the contrary, that Obama was born in Kenya rather than Hawaii and is therefore ineligible to serve as president of the United States. Trump has hired private detectives to investigate that suspicion. As kooky as that all sounds, opinion polls among conservatives nonetheless have Trump in second place, right on the heels of businessman Mitt Romney.
