So I'm sure you've all heard about the possibility of Donald Trump running for PRESIDENT in the 2012 presidential election as the Republican candidate. As a journalist I realize I need to be subjective but come on, I can't be the only one who thinks this a joke, right?
Trump recently jumped on the "birther" movement bandwagon by announcing in several on-air interviews his skepticism in President Obama's U.S citizenship despite Obama's many attempts of rebuttal by airing a 'live certificate of birth' from the state of Hawaii for the world to see.
If my memory serves me right, Trump who has filed bankruptcy on more than one occasion, is probably not in the best position to correct a country whose biggest problem is debt. According to CNN.com, the United States is over $14 trillion in debt...and filing bankruptcy is not an option Mr. Trump.
With more and more celebrities pretending to be politicians (i.e. The Terminator; gov of Cali.) I'm convinced that politics has become more about entertaining than the bottom line which should be people working together to improve the country.
On that note...make sure to hit the polls next November as the stakes are higher than ever in the upcoming election.
As usual, feedback is always welcome. What do you think? Would Donald Trump make a good President?
