The Republican Apprentice ...or the Donald Trump phenomenom

Alright I have to admit tonight everyone I ran into was talking about Donald Trump. I never had an interest in him, his show, his wives, etc. but now I am on my second post about him. So I knew of Trump from the "reality show" The Apprentice. I never liked his gruff attitude or know it all behavior, so I didn't watch it much. Now he is everywhere on TV, on Facebook trending alerts, you name it...he shows up. Having been in corporate America, I guess the sight of a white male who seemingly put down everyone made me get flashbacks of some of the under side of corporations. So why is his "message" resonating with so many when he tries his hand at politics? I know people like "shock jocks" but this is politics not pretend. I also do not care to do much research on him but I am curious about a few questions..if anyone cares to comment. 1) Stance on Immigration- Do I recall one or maybe two of Trump's wives as immigrants from other countries? Makes me wonder 2) Trump and beauty pageants- Has his hair changed since he decided to run? Not that it seems more kept now but it seems different 3) Non politician politicians-Does Trump have any political experience? We all recall Reagan, Schwarzenegger and Bono who came from acting or performing...but why is Trump trying to join that crew. (Do reality shows count?) 4) Overall question....Why? If we want a tough talking guy, why not Clint Eastwood? (love that guy) Okay, I think I have had my spleen venting for the evening. Just had to let this loose.

People talk about him because they want to be rich. They want him to revive the economy so that they can earn more than they are earning now. They trust Donald because he is a billionaire, and he should be clearer about the economic situation than the other candidates. The reasoning goes that if he can make money for his company, he can make money for the country.

You are not the first to be shocked by what you see and hear. The USA is going to hell in his hand basket and his big mouth..
