Today’s front page of Salon has five stories explaining why
Donald Trump is an egomaniacal, racist, misogynistic asshole. The Huffington
Post has four (with a fifth alluding to the Donald). Guess what? Trump is winning the media. Even
the liberal media.
Aside from being a billionaire, Donald Trump is a showman,
an entertainer who subscribes to the old maxim that any publicity is good
publicity, and his strategy is working. His face is everywhere. Hours of time
are being spent writing articles attacking a man who will never set foot in the
White House. And, worst of all, the entire effort to vilify Trump in the media
is a waste of time. His fans love it.
You can count on the fact that Trump will continue saying
crazy, outrageous things as long as it continues getting his name and face in
the news. Like all fads, however, the public and media will tire of Trumps
shtick at some point, and he’ll drop out of the race and go back to being
ordinary billionaire asshole Donald Trump instead of Republican Presidential
candidate billionaire asshole Donald Trump.
Wait a second. DAMMIT! He got me, too.
