In With Donald Trump: 50 Cent, Out: President Bush

2008_11_trump.jpgDonald Trump, the man who once said that Kevin Federline was "fantastic" and "doesn't get enough credit" is back in the news for sharing his thoughts on current events and pop culture icons. In an interview with NY1 that began airing last night and will continue tonight, he called President Bush "so bad, so evil that I don't think any Republican could have won." To explain his political insight, he added, "He'd go into a country, attack Iraq, which had nothing to do with the World Trade Center and just do it because he wanted to do it."

As for President-elect Obama, Trump sounded ready to jump on the bandwagon following his endorsement of John McCain during the campaign. He said, "[Obama's] going to lead through consensus...I think he has a chance to go down as a great president." But something about that compliment sounds backhanded, when Trump added immediately, "Now, if he's not a great president, this country is in serious trouble." He also talked about the Democratic primary saying, "Obama brilliantly perhaps roughed [Hillary] up."

It wasn't all political talk from Trump though. When asked about rapper 50 Cent's new Apprentice-style show 50 Cent: The Money and the Power, he said, "I'm in many, many rappers' songs. And I know them. 50 Cent is sort of a friend of mine. I mean, he likes me. He just did a show. It was a copy of 'The Apprentice.' It will fail because he's not Trump, but he's actually a nice guy."

That is like a person loving the Yankees one year because they won the world series and then saying they suck the next season because they didn't win it.

the lord of all douchebags speaketh, let there be a special level in hell for all douchebags with weird ass hair

Wow, Trump is the biggest bandwagon jumper in the world!

Drop dead Trump-you are evil in your own right.

I wonder how long it will take to remove all the signs with the name Trump emblazoned all over his endeavors after he dies. A week, two weeks?

"I'm in many, many rappers' songs. And I know them." Perhaps if the Donald chills with his thugs in their hoods someone will do the world a favor and do a drive by that same night.

Hey, a whore's gotta do what a whore's gotta do. It isn't just mideast arms smugglers in his towers anymore, some of these people actually vote.

Every generation needs a P.T. Barnum.
