HuffPo Treats Trump’s Campaign as ‘Entertainment’

Want updates on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign? You’ll have to search next to their headlines on Kim Kardashian, says the Huffington Post. In a mocking note about the billionaire businessman Friday morning, the liberal site announced it would be treating the Donald’s White House run as “Entertainment.”

After watching and listening to Donald Trump since he announced his candidacy for president, we have decided we won't report on Trump's campaign as part of The Huffington Post's political coverage. Instead, we will cover his campaign as part of our Entertainment section. Our reason is simple: Trump's campaign is a sideshow. We won't take the bait. If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you'll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette.

American voters seem to find him so “entertaining,” that he is currently the frontrunner in new national election polls.

Trump is indeed a polarizing figure, one that has unexpectedly shaken up the 2016 field. His uncensored and inarticulate comments, however controversial, seem to be striking a chord with the public in a way that stale, political talking points never could.

How long will his momentum last? Hard to tell. For now, enjoy Round Ten of Trump v. the Media.

Good! The morons who keep the Left in power can’t understand what’s going on, but they love to be entertained.

I love the HuffPost. I visit every day to remind myself just how stupid, vicious and cruel the Left is.

It’s been very entertaining so far.

Watching the employees of The Cheap Labor Express all coming out with similar denouncements of Trump was telling for all who pay attention.

What are they going to do if he’s elected President? What will he do when he sicks the IRS on them?

Obama has expertly agitated this country since his election. Americans are angry, frustrated and sick of politicians . I went to one of Obama’s favorite restaurants tonight and the waiter said Obama’s actually a bit of a “douche”. I’m sure his remark will be reported because I was dining with a few hardcore democrats. But to my point, America is angry and Trump knows how to harness that anger and make us feel like winners again. America appreciates a scrappy fighter and Trump is plenty scrappy. The younger audience of low information voters love him. I hope Trump elevates Cruz whenever possible and they tag team each other.

Trump can always buy Huffpo with his pocket change and entertain them all with pink slips.
