What Donald Trump’s Really Up to This Week (Hint: Celebrity Apprentice All-Stars is Starting Filming Soon!)
I happen to really like Donald Trump and have run into him randomly a few times in New York through the years. He’s actually a really nice man and is very chatty; he’s old-school polite, too, and uses your name with you a lot when he talks…even if most of the talking is about himself and how much he knows you admire him or whatever. I think he’s a hoot whenever he’s up to his antics on the political scene, too. The Left has so many clowns and jesters and at times Trump fills that niche for our side too.
Apparently, Trump is going to announce “breaking news!” on Twitter (of all places) this coming Wednesday…and so today he announced he’d be making that announcement, with other announcements to follow. This is the kind of stuff P.T. Barnum would revel in if he’d lived in a digital age.
Folks, Celebrity Apprentice All-Stars is airing soon on NBC (next March). I think it actually begins filming, however, this week. The cast was announced on October 12th and I nosed around today and learned from friends in the NYC TV production world who have noted that, yes, indeed this week filming is starting for the show and the “celebrities” are flying into New York as we speak to do the new season.
Trump’s timing his announcement for an announcement to perfectly coincide with the start date for filming the next season of “Celebrity Apprentice”. That’s pretty obvious. He’s getting people to pay attention to the new season of Apprentice by using the Obama tease to draw attention that he’s begun filming new episodes of his show. Like I said…obvious.
I’m less clear, however, on what Trump will be talking about on Wednesday but if I had to guess I think it’s going to be the Obamas purchasing property in Hawaii for them to live in come January 2013. I had about 100 emails in the in-box today telling me that Glenn Beck had talked about the Obamas’ preparations to move to Hawaii in his post-presidency. This is a story I’ve been covering here on HB since the end of August because members of the black community in Chicago who know Michelle Obama’s mother Marian Robinson keep insisting to me that “Miss Marian” (as people call her) is still talking to her old Chicago friends and saying that she’s going to be living in Hawaii soon and that the Obamas in private have realized that he’s not going to win another term. The wealthiest Chicagoans are being pressured to help pay for both the Obama presidential library and also a giant estate for the Obamas in Hawaii, because nothing less would be “suitable” for them after living in the White House. That cramped four-bedroom mansion the Obamas bought with convicted felon Tony Rezko in Hyde Park here in Chicago certainly is no longer “suitable” for these people…hence their upcoming exile to Hawaii, in Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos fashion
If Glenn Beck mentioned this then I bet Donald Trump confirms it. He might even have someone in the real estate world there who’ll go on record saying that, yes, in fact this is happening. Which is true, because this move was being planned since early summer…around about the time that the “You didn’t build it. Somebody else made it happen!” remark caused members of Obama’s inner circle to realize that he was not going to win against a Romney/Ryan ticket when the tone was being cemented in “You didn’t build it” terms that offered no justification for giving Obama a second term with small business owners now permanently alienated.
If Trump’s not going to talk about the Hawaiian estate being purchased for the Obamas he might get into Obama’s college transcripts…which Trump has talked about before. ”The Donald” could ask why “The One” applied for grants and scholarships under the name “Soebarkah” and listed himself as Indonesian at various times in his life so that he could obtain grants, scholarship, and affirmative action admission to Columbia and then Harvard when he didn’t have the grades to warrant acceptance otherwise. Trump’s been chasing this story for a while…and is the only explanation for why Obama will not release his college transcripts other than the fact that Obama scored mostly Cs and Ds in school.
Another option would be that Trump could call Obama out for his Bathhouse Barry days here in Chicago and the drug use and gay sex he still engages in as President. That’s not the kind of thing Trump does, however, so it’s a remote possibility. My bet is it’s either the Hawaiian real estate purchase that shows Obama’s confidants think he will lose…or it’s the transcripts thing and Indonesian student status Obama used to get ahead.
Or, Trump could just be announcing on Wednesday via Twitter that Barack Obama will be appearing on Celebrity Apprentice next year himself…since he’ll be unemployed and available for this or future seasons in January 2013.
You never know with Trump, but I think it’s the Hawaii house because the timing is so weird otherwise with Glenn Beck just talking about it today.
An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
