Trumping Up 2012

Because you just can't have a good clown circus without a leader, Donald Trump has now said he would consider running for president in 2012, and plans to let us know in June.

Trump says he thinks Obama is a nice man, but is in over his head, thus implying he would be better suited for the job. I beg to differ. Obama's failing is in catering to a society that wants to be tickled and amused. Considering the mess he has inherited, not only from Bush but from presidents going back 20 years, he's doing pretty good in my book.

My greatest fear is Trump's ego and knowing he would be crooked as hell when it came to big business. The conflict of interest is too great, and so is the worry that he would utterly fail to see the effects on the working class. Trump is out for his own sake, and he has never tried to tell us otherwise. I am afraid to think of what would happen if our interests were in opposition of his.

But hey, he can't win, right? Why do I feel a tiny shudder of alarm at the notion? If we're going to run through the Screen Actors Guild for candidates, why not bring in Jesse Ventura? Or better yet, let Vince McMahon have a crack at it so we get the full entertainment factor.

Going back 30 years at least!

But don't worry. Who would vote for Trump? Can you think of anyone?

In a world where Palin got to run for Veep... I dare not say.
