Who is the real Apprentice?
In my opinion Donald Trump latest antics is a somewhat crafty form of political theater. Staring Donald Trump as a willing Pawn, and being orchestrated by ‘The Architect’ himself Karl Rove. I do not believe Trump will run in 2012, and even Karl Rove himself called Trump's presidential aspirations "a joke."
On October 6 2010 Trump contributed $50,000 to the American Crossroads a ‘527 organization’ which is a conservative group created in 2010 by right-wing political operatives and "advised" by Karl Rove and former RNC chairman Ed Gillespie to support Republican candidates. Who’s main contributors include some of this country’s wealthiest real-estate investors like Trump himself, and big oil men, such as Bob J. Perry, Bradley Wayne Hughes, Trevor Rees-Jones, and Robert Rowling, just to name a few.
Trumps $50,000 contribution may not seem large in comparison to some of the other contributors to American Crossroads 527, however in matches his largest recorded political contribution, which was $50,000 to the DONALD J TRUMP NEW YORK DELEGATE COMMITTEE way back on December 24 1999. So this contribution and ties to the American Crossroads organization and its members, is rather suspicious to say the least, and I believe has set the stage to today’s current events.
Trump current media attacks aimed towards President Obama is a political theater stunt in an attempt to move the political center closer to the right. Thus making other possible 2012 GOP candidates, as well as the right wing media look like perfect moderates, in comparison to himself. While at the same time planting seeds of doubt in the uninformed voters mind about President Obama’s citizenship (Birther conspiracy theory) and credibility as a Law Scholar.Trump has nothing to lose from these antic's most people seem to view this as Trump just being Trump. This attention brings hype to his reality show, and the Trump brand.
This leaves me with one question. Who is the real Apprentice?
