Apparently, the wealthy and arrogant egomaniac Donald Trump (aka "the Donald") is preparing to enter the Presidential election as a Republican candidate. His selling points are the following: he is a well-known billionaire and a real estate mogul. For people who don't follow politics, it wouldn't surprise me that the uninformed might vote for him based on his new role as a reality show star on "The Apprentice". Trump is coming across as brash and he is setting an early ugly tone to the upcoming race to try to defeat Obama by the Republicans who largely caused this huge economic mess with tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, cuts to needed programs for the poor and vulnerable, largely unnecessary endless wars, etc. The worse thing so far about Trump's potential candidacy is that he is perpetuating the paranoid and racist Birther lie initiated by the fringes of the extreme right-wing of the Republican party and the so-called TEA partiers. For those who might be inclined to support Trump, do they really think a guy who has so much wealth can possibly empathize with the concerns of the average person? If he gets in I'd be willing to bet that most of his policies and all of his Supreme and other court nominees would benefit Big Business to the detriment of the Common Man.
