Paris Hilton Could Out-Trump Trump in 2016
by Kevin D. Williamson August 20, 2015
Donald Trump’s admirers, like those of Ross Perot in an earlier epoch, cite his business success as his main qualification and believe that the acumen that he has demonstrated in making himself rich enough to do incredibly vulgar things like gold-plating the seatbelt buckles in his airplane is a skill that’s transferable to things like trade policy and immigration law. There may be something to that line of thinking, but Ross Perot is not the entrepreneur whom Trump most closely resembles.
You heard it here first: Paris Hilton 2016. Trump has a great deal in common with Hilton, much more than a famous blond hair-do. Hilton is — or was, more on that in a bit — an heiress to a splendid fortune based in part on real estate.

Seriously? This isn’t the bottom of the barrel, this is the dirt 8 feet below that.
They’re going bat-droppings crazy now.
Crazy, I tell ya!
Her father was a real estate mogul she was a airhead fameous for being fameous?
Your just jealous
This guy continually writes this kind of stuff. The editorial staff at NRO also is negative about Trump, and no one else. They’ve obviously pressured the others to write negative articles, so we’re seeing them from Thomas Sowell, George Will and Victor Hanson Davis and others. They did the exact same thing to Reagan.
FYI his son Barron is named after his friend Barron Hilton
famous,that is.
alas we mourn the passing of the National Review. That once proud publication of thought and insight. Now as it has descended to the abyss of beltway disease and mob thuggery it relieves itself and throws away the proud history of those who preceded.
Why? She started reality tv before Trump. He copied her. At least Paris Hilton is a capitalist. Meanwhile, Trump is friends with Perez Hilton.
Paris Hilton is famous for ‘being penetrated’.
Look up “mental hygiene” and take a test to see if that might be a problem for you.
The same guy at NR spewing tiresome trite nonstop, apparently desperate for some blog traffic his way.
NR sure isn’t what it used to be. That was the weirdest column I have ever read on NR.
I'm starting a new meme...
Trump to presidential candidates: Do you hear that giant sucking sound? It's me consuming all of the electrons, print ink and oxygen out of the atmosphere.

Trump is the Paris Hilton of politics.
Why they are both reality tv stars who inherited from their parents.
Really really digging....
