Prime Minister Trump

Even though it is still over a year away, the race for president in the United States now has 4 or 5 Democratic candidates with the Republican field probably having between 12 and 16. The latest candidate to seek the GOP nomination is Donald Trump. Here's a couple of quotes from his announcement speech "I will be the greatest jobs president," and "If I run, and if I win, I don’t want the enemy to know what I’m doing," Trump stated. All we know is that Trump’s plan, whatever it is, will defeat ISIS "quickly and effectively." And that it’s "foolproof."  The scary part of this is that I think he believes what he says. Trump has toyed with the public before on his aspirations to become president but wisely withdraws from the race after he has garnered enough public attention. This time should be no different. While it gives the media hounds something to speculate about, his mere presence is an unneeded distraction.  

Donald Trump (of Celebrity Apprentice), Simon Cowell (former American Idol judge) and Kevin O'Leary (on panel of Shark Tank) all have a few things in common. They are all successful business men. All very wealthy. They have referred to those in front of them often using nasty narratives. None of them have any self-esteem issues, possessing a level of self-importance that would likely alienate most world leaders, except perhaps for those dictators elsewhere in the world.

One thing for sure, American politics is a lot more entertaining than here in Canada. Can you just visualize Donald Trump as Prime Minister during Question Period in the House.

Question from the leader of the Opposition:  "Prime Minister, would you please tell the House how you intend to protect Canadians from the ISIS threat?"

P.M. Trump: "Sure. I will nuke those assholes off the face of the Earth. Any more stupid questions?"

Too funny.
