Donald Trump is the billionaire real estate mogul turned reality TV star who gloats about himself so often, he makes Floyd Mayweather look like Gandhi. Apparently some people think his frat boy swagger is exactly what America needs in a leader, causing him to think running for president is a good idea. Although not surprisingly, he rubs some people the wrong way.
Here are 7 list of why those folks might not be punching Trump's name on that 2016 ballot.
1. His Hair
Often speculated as a "rug" or "piece," Trump's hair has taken on a life of its own. A swirling, unnaturally orange wisp, it wraps around his whole head, plunges all the way down to his eyebrows and flips back up again. For years, scientists have been trying to sample it to study its perplexing anti-gravitational properties, but probably haven't been able to afford the exorbitant licensing fees he demands.
2. His Reality Shows
The Apprentice is a reality show hosted by Trump, in which contestants compete to win the prize of working for Donald Trump. Which would be like winning the lottery, only the ATM you must use for the rest of your life is a starving lion's mouth. At the end of each episode, he and his children gleefully eliminate contestants with the creative catchphrase "You're fired!" from behind a giant boardroom table, turning what is often the worst moment in person's life in to primetime television fodder.
3. His Political Beliefs
Trump makes controversial political statements known to anyone who would listen. Often viewed as nothing more than a public relations stunt to promote his TV show and products, his politics are mostly just a mix of bragging about how great America used to be and bullying other countries and politicians who don't feel the same way. Since declaring his bid for the Republican ticket, however, his views have become increasingly polarizing to the point where his business partners are starting to cut ties with him.
4. The Birther Stuff
Before President Obama released his official birth certificate, there was a small, but extremely vocal group who for some reason decided that he wasn't born in the US. Trump proudly spearheaded this movement armed with zero evidence, going so far as to errantly releasing what he thought was his own birth certificate, only to realize it wasn't an official state document. Even after the question of Obama's birth certificate was officially answered and the "birther" movement moved fully into the conspiracy theorist camp, Trump still refused to believe it.
5. His Mannerism In flaunting wealth
Trump never misses an opportunity to plug his casinos, luxury buildings, golf courses, TV show, various products, or net worth even in the most inappropriate times. Arguably the most egregious example being after 9/11 when he interjected himself into the controversy over the building of a mosque near ground zero, offering millions of dollars for what was essentially a bribe to keep it his preferred distance away from the site.
6. He doesn't believe in Global warming because it snows all the time
Never missing an opportunity to point to a thermometer below freezing, or that one time he was cold in Los Angeles, Trump feels his own personal experience with the weather is all the evidence he needs to deny global warming. Never mind the global consensus of the scientific community, Trump is backed up by secret information the general public doesn't know about. For example, the entire concept of climate change is a conspiracy cooked up by the Chinese to "make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive," which is an actual quote from his Twitter account.
7. Some of his tweets on his Twitter Account
The treasure trove that is Donald Trump's twitter account is arguably unparalleled in terms of absurdity. In addition to that conspiratorial claim about the Chinese inventing global warming, he never fails to squeeze his patented brand of delusional self-promotion into 140 characters, no matter what the subject:
On diet soda: "I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke."
On using Hurricane Sandy for promotional purposes: "Not one Trump building, even those along the Hudson River, lost power — a testament to quality systems and construction."
On how Obama is free-throwing us into oblivion: "Why is Obama playing basketball today? This is why our country is in trouble!"
