I was going to mention Bozo The Clown..

But then I figured he was only some L.A. regional celebrity (like Hobo Kelley) and wouldn't be well known outside of the area...

Guess I was wrong. :D

Michale

Don't forget Bozo. The guy behind the Bozo mask (forget his name) actually did run for president, back in the 1980s (Reagan era). His campaign slogan, if memory serves, was: "Let's put a REAL clown in the White House!" Classic...

As for [28] -

"Snarknado week" got a big laugh from me...

:-)

TheStig [30] -

You forgot one thing. The Donald's dad was actually Christ. Yep, "Frederick Christ Trump". No lie. The jokes just write themselves, folks...

-CW

I still maintain that a person doesn't get to be as rich as he is by being a clown...

But, in light of your argument, I will add the following..

Unless he is paid to be a clown...

Happy??? :D

Seriously, it's like all the claims from the Hysterical Left that George Bush is so dumb...

You don't get to be THAT successful by being dumb...

Calling George Bush dumb or calling Donald Trump a clown is nothing.. repeat.. NOTHING.... but partisan ideological slavery talking...

That's my story and I am sticking to it.. :D

Michale

Did Donald inherit his wealth??

Or did he earn his wealth???

My comment is clear but let me restate the premise with a bit of amplification. Like each sib, he inherited 35 million. Unlike the others, he inherited a real estate machine, up and making money.

It's easy to look good in a 400 m finish when you get to start at the 300 m mark. Even if you stumble early on.

But, if raw wealth is yer benchmark, than Forbes doesn't even rank Trump in the top 100! That's Top 100 US, Trump's not even worthy of mention in World Class Division. Why pick from the back of the pack? Go for Bill Gates, winner of the Forbes unlimited (legacy assisted) USA division.

Did Donald inherit his wealth??

Or did he earn his wealth???

Berle was making 1 million a year from his variety show in the 1950s. Not rich?

Murphy is reported to worth in the range of 85 million. Not rich?

Not as rich as god..

9 Billion??

THAT is as rich as god.. :D

Michale

Berle was making 1 million a year from his variety show in the 1950s. Not rich?

Burnett is currently worth in the tens of millions and her peak earnings were in the 60's 70's. Not rich?

Murphy is reported to worth in the range of 85 million. Not rich?

Sharknado was rather good, heh, heh.

Look up Fred Trump. He was a major real estate developer in the NYC region. Made his money in post WWII rental housing. Built 27,000 units of it. Not flashy, plenty profitable. Left an estate valued in the 100's of millions. Handed over the management of his real estate company to son Donald. Donald did not work his way through private school or college. Donald was born and raised rich. He got richer. He got much flashier than Fred.

Are saying Fred is not his father? Mama Trump was schtupping the chauffeur?

Krusty

Any one of those worth 9 Billion??

No??? Then what's yer point??? :D

Want a good job, get a good clown college education. Or have a rich papa.

If Trump had a rich papa then you would have a point..

But he don't so ya don't... :D

I've enjoyed Snarknado week.

Oooooo nice one.... :D

Michale

I've enjoyed Snarknado week.

Milton Berle

Carol Burnett

Eddie Murphy

You don't become as rich as god by being a clown...

True or False??

True

Michale

That's right. Glenn Beck said that. LOL! I saw the video.

He has invited her to be a Miss USA pageant judge. Maybe it's an audition for The Supremes. That would be yooj and classy & beautiful too.

Probably because they know that he is.... SUCCESSFUL...

I can give you 9 billion reasons why...

Only the Looney Left would think that Trump hasn't been successful...

Probably because the Left identifies "successful" quite differently than normal Americans..

In their eyes, Obama's POTUSency has been "successful"....

Michale

OK, ya got me on that one.. :D

Or, let me put it another way. They start out by giving you a huge come on, they make you a lot of promises they don't intend to keep, they take as much of your money as they can get away with, and they finish by screwing you. How is that really different from any POTUS?

"Touche salesman."

Michale

Another who's only claim to fame is a sex tape..

EMPOWER WOMEN!!! DO A SEX TAPE!!!

:^/

Michale

Yea????

So do hookers...

But I am not advocating a hooker run for POTUS as JM did :D

Michale

Hey, worked for H. Ross Perot, right?

Heh.

John From Censornati [2] -

Ooooh, now THERE's a good idea! Victoria Jackson would, in fact, be a PERFECT running mate for Trump. She'd be a better match than Sarah Palin, even.

Besides, he's for Bernie (but, being Canadian, doesn't get to vote).

Michale [7] -

Yeah, I heard that too. Cue Oprah echoing Neil Young's sentiments towards Trump, in 3... 2... 1...

Heh.

John M [8] -

Or Paris Hilton, maybe, who is famous for being famous? Oh, wait, she's probably not old enough yet...

TheStig [9] -

How 'bout everybody else in the US dies and Trump remembers to vote?

OK, ya got me. That indeed would be a path to victory. I'd even expand it to "everybody not named Trump in the US dies..." since he could probably get his family to vote for him. Well, maybe not ex-wives, but then they'd have changed their name, right?

Heh.

Trump as performance artist. Good point, and more self absorbed than the persona of Miranda, of Miranda Sings. Miranda (Colleen Ballinger) is funnier though.

Wait, was that a Miranda warning?

(couldn't resist)

Trump tosses his hair into the ring.

DING DING DING! We have a winner in the "post a Trump hair joke" contest... nice use of "heir" too...

:-)

As for veep, how about C. Montgomery Burns for veep? Fictional people should qualify for office if Donald Trump can run for president, right?

Michale [10] -

Kardashian earned every dollar she made off her sex tape. Unless you're saying she hired a double or something. So what's your beef?

OK, enough free-range snark for now...

-CW

Now that's how snark is done. We are not worthy SC.

He would just have to run against Martha Coakley. I don't think Hillary is quite at Coakley's level of loserhood, but I do think she has massive built-in liabilities for the general.

As for the primaries, I can't say. I can't work up any enthusiasm for studying the other side's also-rans.

Trump's claim to fame is being richer than god and actually EARNING his wealth..

Kardashian's claim to fame is a sex tape...

But yer probably right..

The Left would flock to a Kardashian candidacy big time...

:D

Trump's respect for intellectual property on display. A common failing of Republican candidates.
What's mine is mine. What's yours is mine too. Sue his ASCAP off Neil!!!!

Trump's web site has a donate button!!!! Really!!!! If you press that button and make a donation, the sad trumpet plays in the Trump fer Prez boiler room. Sucker. A new definition for chutzpah! I think there is an annual banquet for this. If not, there should be. Oh, wait, I forgot about Trump University. Trump has already trumped himself.

Trump tosses his hair into the ring. He's like a Bizzaro Teddy Roosevelt: Speak loudly and act like a big dick. There is nothing quite so unbecoming as a rich heir whining.

M -7 Oprah as running mate. Has Oprah actually been asked? Thurston Howell III is a much better match. Dead, but if the dead can vote, then they can certainly run for VP.

Actually, Trump has mentioned having Oprah as his running mate..

Be careful how you respond to that. You don't want to be accused of the R-word, eh?? :D

I honestly don't understand the Left's perspective on Trump...

At least he has actually accomplished something..

No one can point to a Clinton accomplishment.. Unless it was dodging sniper fire in Bosnia....

I mean, who really is the clown???

Michale

A natural-born citizen.
Still breathing forr 35 or mor years..
A resident of the USA for at least 14 years.

Too bad we'll never get to see what happens when the marsupial on his head encounders the downwash of Marine One.

Deep down, some Americans want a King. Some want a Clown. Trump's a twofer.

Ever see Time Cop?? :D

As for Trump as POTUS, I said it best here:
