Newly Pro-Life candidate and Mr. Burns style eccentric billionaire, Donald Trump, has Snookied his way into the lead of this election GOP Primary. He has pulled every reality TV stop to gain the public’s attention and, like any good car wreck, we can’t look away.
“Who’s been more in the public eye than me?” Trump argued in an interview with The Daily Beast back in 2011. “For 30 years I’ve been a very public person. And who’s dealt with politicians more than me? I probably have raised and given more money to politicians than anybody. I’ve been very much a part of politics in this country. It’s not like I’m a novice.”
But unfortunately, Mr. Trump is a novice; he has no background
in active politics other than financing them. His credentials are a Bachelor of
Science degree in Economics and Anthropology, and a $4 billion bank
account. That bank account has led him to truly be one of the only candidates
that cannot be bought, which has led to his severe lack of a filter and common sense.
Since his campaign announcement where he referred to Mexicans as rapists, drug runners, and other criminals (to his credit he did say that some might be good people), the following groups and individuals have cut ties with the republican hopeful:
- Miss USA Performer J Balvin
- Univision
- Miss USA Co-host Roselyn Sanchez
- Miss USA Co-host Cristian de la Fuente
- NBCUniversal
- Miss USA Sponsor Farouk Systems
- Mexican Broadcaster Televisa
- Miss USA Judge Jonathan Scott
- Craft Brewer 5 Rabbit Cerveceria
- TV Production Studio Ora TV
- Miss USA Co-host Thomas Roberts
- Miss USA Co-host Cheryl Burke
- Miss USA Performer Natalie La Rose
- Macy’s Department Store
- The City of New York
- Miss USA Judge Emmitt Smith
- Miss USA Performer Flo Rida
- Miss USA Performer Craig Wayne Boyd
- Costa Rican TV Network Teletica
- “Trump Home” Mattress Maker Serta
- Marcus Lemonis, CEO of NASCAR Sponsor Camping World
- NASCAR
- ESPN
- The PGA of America
- Celebrity Chef and Restaurateur Jose Andres
- Iron Chef and Restaurateur Geoffrey Zakarian
- The FAA
A whopping 27 have spoken out in formal statements to the media to acknowledge the end of their working relationships with Mr. Trump. While this kind of drama could, formerly, have only been found on The Real Housewives, we are witnessing Americas first "Reality Show Election." Much like "The Bachelor," the girl who makes the most drama and makes for good TV often makes it to the final rose ceremony whether or not they are qualified... and to Mr. Trump's advantage, he makes for darn good TV.
Now as citizens of this great nation, we must decide if we want to be entertained in this election, or rather, find a suitable candidate who is well versed in politics, respected internationally, and can communicate without alienating half the population. If we do, indeed, decide that we no longer wish to be respected as a nation among our peers and allies then, by all means, vote for the reality star of your choice to be commander in chief.
