Polling news for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been encouraging. Some national polls show Trump in a solid second place position behind Jeb Bush. But, businesswise, it has been a tough stretch for Mr. Trump. First NBC gave his reality show, “The Apprentice” the ax; then Univision dumped Trump’s “Miss USA”; then Macy’s stripped Trump’s clothing line from its shelves.
But things may soon be looking up for Trump. Comedy Central has just announced that, “in the event Donald Trump does not become our next president,” he will be the host of a new reality series, “I Really Did Run For President.” A Comedy Central spokesman, on condition of anonymity, confirmed that production for the new series is already underway. “We believe it’s a good bet. “The Donald’s” chances of being our next Commander in Chief are as good as that thing on his head being real.”
The new show’s format will feature Mr. Trump interviewing other failed presidential candidates. Each will be asked the same question, ”What on god’s good earth made you think you were presidential material?” First on the guest list will be “The Hermanator” himself, Herman Cain. The plan, as it stands, is to follow Mr. Cain with Michelle Bachmann.
As there are currently more than one dozen declared Republican presidential candidates, the show will have many colorful candidates to invite to the show. The producers believe they will have enough guests for at least two full seasons.
The list of misguided 2016 presidential wannabes will most likely include: Carly Fiorina, Rick Perry, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Lindsay Graham, George Pataki, Rand Paul, Chris Christie, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio and Rick Santorum.
If the producers decide to go back a few years, they may have enough guests to go beyond two seasons. Who wouldn’t want to hear the following former presidential candidates answer Trump’s question: Roseanne Barr, Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, Tom Tancredo, Dennis Kucinich, Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan?
Truth may be even stranger than fiction. Are we living in a permanent (un)reality show anyway when this idiot can poll well?
I don’t know, Stephen, but I would certainly watch such a show!
All jokes aside, I bet a show like that would be a hit.
Agree!
We think he has probably found a message of hate the GOP can really get behind. Trump knows he has to blame everyone else for the country’s problems and Republicans will just eat it up.
For sure. After his racist remarks, his poll numbers went up. A significant Republican crowd is agreeing with him.
I’d like to ask the same question of everyone since JFK.
So would a lot of other people!
“as good as that thing on his head being real” – The last video I saw of Trump showed him letting people grab his hair, which looks and acts real. I suspect, that over the last few months, Trump decided to get rid of his “comb-over” toupee and get implants, so it wouldn’t be a topic of discussion. If his hair-style changes subtly over the next few months to something more non-“comb-over”, that will clinch it.
Notice how no one really tugs at his hair.
