Lawrence O'Donnell Gets Letter From Donald Trump

All in all this is simply a little sideshow show distraction. What are the real possibilities though. One might presume that someone seeking the presidency could approach that campaign with ulterior motives. Perhaps they are seeking a slot in the winners cabinet or some such other high profile position. Perhaps they are power seekers looking to make their name resonate more frequently through the hallowed media pipelines. That could earn them high speaking engagement fees. There's a lot at stake and its not about actually becoming president. In my opinion Trump knows that he has no chance, but he can afford to position himself as some sort of business authority figure to the gullible people. Its a winning business endeavor for Trump. For many of us its an amusement. Lawrence O'Donnell might consider a focus on something more intrinsically important to the actual state of our society. Admittedly he does a very good job of deconstructing Trump's facade.
