Whether we like it or not, it's official: Business tycoon Donald Trump is running for President and he's doing damn well. One thing, in my opinion, that Trump's current success can be accredited to is what the rest of the Republican party has failed to do yet again after ignoring the minority vote in the 2012 election: catering to our modern society.
Watching Trump battling it out in the political field against fellow Republicans, Democrats, and apparently, Rosie O'Donnell, is a series of idiotic comments that somehow bring up relevant issues (sometimes) and a continuous stream of headline makers due to the words that come out of his "unapologetic" mouth. From bringing Mexican immigration into the headlines due to racist remarks or ending his first-ever debate by retweeting a user who referred to moderator Megyn Kelly as a "bimbo," watching Trump in the forefront of American politics is like watching the newest reality show. He's managed to have us all wondering, "What will he do next?"
Trump's angle of unabashed, unashamed loud-mouthedness has certainly captured not the hearts, but instead the voracity of the American people due to his political antics. His specialty is in shock value in a way that reminds me of the very beginnings of American sensationalism, which has evolved from yellow journalism in the Spanish-American War to headlines such as "Donald Trump Says He Can Buy Politicians, None of His Rivals Disagree."
So congrats to you, Donald Trump, for becoming the Kim K of the Republican Party. Your opponents (such as Hillary Clinton in this cringe-worthy Vine) have tried and failed to relate to the voters in a modern way. By first changing your successful career into reality television and now adapting yourself into a candidate, you've given every American a host of reasons to know your name. But does that make you worthy of running our country?
Just because Trump can make headlines doesn't mean he can make the right decisions as commander in chief. Just because he is a business mastermind in his own right doesn't mean he can fix our economy. And just because he can make the American people pay attention to him doesn't mean he can understand how to lead the United States in a way that accurately represents what the people want.
You can make me stop and listen to you, Donald, but you can't make me vote for you.
