Like millions of celebrity obsessed fans in the USA, I’ve been following along and reading every bit of news about the feud between Trump and Rosie O’Donnell. Most of it belongs on a cheap ticket comedy show and some have been purely fabricated. It must be as why would a man with an obviously ridiculous comb-over seriously call a slightly overweight woman a “mental midget?” Has he looked at himself in the mirror recently?
It all started earlier this week when the Miss USA show, for you people who just crawled out from underneath your rock, a beauty pageant show co-owned by Trump, was scandalously muddled across the media because the recently crowned Miss USA’s under-age drinking and debauchery lifestyle jeopardized the moral decency of the title that she’s supposed to uphold. I think the media was more interested in exploiting the photos of a young gorgeous woman kissing another woman than the fact that she was Miss USA. That was merely icing on the cake. Nonetheless, it brought out the big dog, Trump. Trump called a press conference to tell the world his final decision on the future of Miss USA. At the news conference, Trump went into his judgmental Apprentice mode and informed the press that while he doesn’t condone Miss USA’s behavior, he will not remove her title. She would have to enter rehab.
Rosie decided that enough was enough. She went on her show, The View, and told the audience that comb-over should not be so hypocritical as to be the moral compass for young adults. He has indeed been married twice, left both of them, had children with both, and each time for a younger woman. His current wife is half his age!
I thought it was funny up to this point. Next I read that Trump called Rosie a fat slob, ugly, and a loser. This man must have been smoking crack. She was just stating a simple obvious truth that we all have been thinking (and laughing about) and have never had the opportunity to say it. She called him morally challenged and she supported it with his own disastrous track record in his marital behavior. Honestly, the comb-over comment is excruciating painfully but funny and he certainly cannot deny the fact that what he does with his hair cannot be mistaken for anything less than humorous. While I don’t truly believe or agree with everything that Rosie said about him, I do believe that in a society where free speech is still a major force in our constitution and our democracy, Trump should not be resorting to such low life comments that personally attacks a person on such a fundamental level. She’s overweight but that does not make her a loser. She’s crude and she speaks the truth, but it does not mean that you can threaten her life for it. That type of bully behaviour belongs on the streets with the warmongers and crack-dealers.
Additionally, his comments about Rosie attempted to create a nexus between her behavior to the Iraq war. Does he really think it’s people like Rosie that caused the Iraq war? This man needs to look himself in the mirror, give his comb-over a name, and recognize that it is people like him, who capitalizes on manipulating and exploiting people that are the driving forces behind the delusional warmongers that deceptively took us to war with Iraq.
Lets momentarily assess the foundation of what Miss USA stands for. Does it rely on academics or moral intelligence? Does it rely on desirable talents? Does it rely on what one has contributed to society or accomplished thus far? It does none of this except for what the tiny pink, blue, gold, or silver bikini and lovely hair extensions can do to enhance your breasts and tighten your tummy and thighs. By owning the Miss USA pageant, Trump is part of an institution that perpetuates and promotes an unnatural and unrealistic notion of beauty. Women are paraded around in tiny bikinis and stilettos while judges, usually old white men with a token female, decide who is the ideal woman to hold the title. Should someone who earns a living promoting this show really be the moral compass for teens? Moreover, should someone who can’t even maintain his own personal life above the morals that he imposes on his minion be the moral compass for teens?
What a laughable hypocrisy! Have you seen the last few seasons of The Apprentice? Let me point something out as I was a huge fan until recently – all the contestants are slim and young. The women, in particular, are usually referred to and deciphered based on their looks, not their credentials, their completed projects or intelligence. The men are usually distinguished by their Alma mater, not by their hair color or the color of their tops. There was one overweight guy in the show in the last season, and we knew it was a matter of time before he was booted, but not one, fat/overweight woman on the show, ever. By the way, the fat guy was referred to as the fat/stinky/loud/obnoxious guy the entire season. Had this been the Miss USA beauty pageant, he would have been the ideal judge on the panel.
Trump is a McJoke and a McLoser.
