Why was the Donald on "The View?" Really? He came out like a sit down, stand-up, comic guy, telling political jokes which were dead pan jokes, but not meant to be funny, but serious stuff about what is wrong and what needs to be fixed. He did this opening to show that he is profound? I kept thinking: 'The Donald, where's the punch line? The Donald?'
The Donald came across as a tough New York wise guy who says he has a heart. Yeah, right?
He said America is in trouble because everybody is taking advantage of her. He wants to stop this, by charging everybody for all this good stuff we do for them. He wants to sell the protection of USA troops to places like Korea, et.al, as if the President is the big boss in charge of a protection racket. What? The Donald would turn our troops into Hessian mercenaries.
And he says he is a social liberal and he thinks he can win the GOP nomination? He cites unnamed polls which says he can? The Donald, dream on.
And then he got right down there in the dirt of politics, got his knees dirty The Donald pandered to the birthers to cover his social liberal past? Mr. D is smart enough to know the birther stuff is nonsense. He repeats a line that has been refuted and he knows it, if he reads articles in which his name appears. He claims that nobody remembers President Obama as a boy in Hawaii, which is not true. Several persons, including the current state governor remembers him and his family. The Donald is smart enough to know that the US security services have checked the man's birth certificate. And the man, Mr. Obama, has shown his birth certificate.
Whoopi Goldberg, a co-host of the show, an old pal of the Donald before he revealed what had been a closely kept secret, that he, the Donald, is a Republican, called out the Donald on the Donald's the birther rant, said his birther BS is the biggest pile of dog mess she has heard in her life.
After two thirds of the way into the interview, Donald Trump got on a subject suitable for his talents, 'Celebrity Apprentice," a so-called reality TV show that the Donald hosts The Donald became charming, and entertaining and fluffy. The Donald should stick with reality TV shows, he does them better than he does politics, and for that matter, if you would ask many of his past investors, he does reality TV much better than he does real estate.
