Ever since the early stages of his controversial campaign, the Huffington Post has denounced Donald Trump’s politics as a “sideshow†and banished its coverage of him to their entertainment section. In a Monday night post, however, Arianna Huffington announced that Trump would be moved to the politics section as his continuing lead shows he is a legitimate contender for the presidency.
Following his announcement that he would ban all Muslims from entering the U.S., Huffington wrote that Trump’s campaign is no longer entertaining, but has “morphed into something else: an ugly and dangerous force in American politics.†Though she confirmed the re-assignment of Trump’s categorization, Huffington impressed that their coverage of his campaign would reflect his political abnormalities, and how it changed the 2016 landscape:
There was certainly no shortage of ugly comments from the beginning, as he kicked off his campaign with outrageous comments about Mexicans. But at first, this over-the-top xenophobia, though disgusting, played as the sour shtick of a washed-up insult comic.

I guess they thought it was entertaining until it came to San Bernardino.

HOORAY Trump
Never go on so as I don’t add to their ratings and hits.
Same goes for the CNN, MSNBC, NY Times etc.
So, they are moving him back into the politics section for the exact same reason they said they moved him to the entertainment section. My bet is the Trump articles were getting more hits in the entertainment section than they had been in the politics section.
Can not wait for the Huffington Post to be shut down permanently.
Trump wants to BAN Muslim Immigration. This is what everybody with half a brain, wants. Look for TRUMP to hit 45% in the polls.
Well, that's it.
Trump has peaked, and it's all downhill from here.
AGAIN. ROFLMAO!!!!
Translation: We weren’t making enough money off of Trump in the Entertainment section.
And we were never amused with your lying bs.
where did they move him?
I vaguely remember Arianna Huffington being on FR. Anybody else remember that. I recall that it didn’t go well.
They’re like little children, playing their little children games.
Their readership will plummet. Nice.
But we are! Huff'n'puff's claim to journalism is hilarious!
