Donald Trump and his Sassy Boot

Ohh Donald Trump, how you never cease to make me laugh. As a note, I have ZERO political stance or backing for any political party or group. The following is simply my opinion of Donald Trump and his actions rather than his political agenda.

As we all know, Trump is currently a republican presidential candidate for the upcoming 2016 election, and with such he must attend news conferences to explain his ever so bold stances. In case you missed Donald Trump's News Conference on August 25th, let me fill you in on it and also provide my two cents on such.

The conference was going along swimmingly that is until a reporter by the name of Jorge Ramos stood up and began to ask his questions regarding the details of Trumps plan to deport illegal immigrants. Unfortunately, the two got into a what I like to call a sassy argument of emotions and egos. Trump then pulls his "Trump card," sorry for the pun, and had the reported removed.

Here is where my two cents come in, I watched the video of this exchange and it could have been handled better on both ends. Trump, my man, this is not Celebrity Apprentice, you cannot just control someones right to speech because they did not have their hand raised. Wait hold on, is he running to be the President of the United States or Class President of 2nd grade, because he would have my vote for the second grade race. Trust me I understand Trump, when someone rudely interrupts it is frustrating, but you could be the next president, you have to restrain for at least five seconds before telling them to basically shut up.

Now Trump is not the only one at fault here, the interrupting reporter could have learned some manors by waiting his turn. There is a time and place for everything and when your hand was not the highest in the crowd, you do not get the spoils of getting called on. See the more I talk about this subject, the more I honestly think this is for the 2016 race for Class President of 2nd Grade.

The following video is of the sassy back and forth the two had before the reported was removed. I would like to note that the reported is allowed back in and then asks Trump his questions.




I mean this was definitely not ideal for either party here. The reporter lost some reputation and respect for his actions. I guess that is to be expected considering he went against a man who fired celebrities for entertainment. Trump on the other-hand, could have handled this moment better and not cause another PR nightmare by making him seem childish and unprofessional.

If you would like to know more about his event, please go to Heather Haddon's article from the Wall Street Journal, I have found it shared a lot of information. I would be more then willing to hear what you think about this, so please comment below. Those are my simple two cents, so either take them or leave them.

Until next time,
Matt
