Mike Rowe of “Dirty Jobs” fame says there is a simple reason why President Donald Trump was victorious in the 2016 election: “He understands who’s watching and he understands what’s happening.”
America’s “everyman” recently sat down with Ben Shapiro, editor-in-chief of the Daily Wire, for a wide-ranging interview for the website’s “Sunday Special.” He used a story regarding his mikeroweWORKS Foundation to explain why Mr. Trump — and not Sen. Bernard Sanders or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — now resides in the White House.
Mr. Rowe said that he jokingly called out the trio when his CNN show at the time, “Somebody’s Gotta Do It,” was forced to move to TBN due to election coverage.
“I basically said to Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders, ‘Nice going, guys. You just got my show booted off the network. I’ll forgive you if each of you will make a donation to my foundation,” the celebrity said. “‘What I’m looking for from you, Bernie, is your — one of those crumpled, you know, suit coats you always wear. Send that to me and I’ll auction it off. Hillary, send me one of your pant suits, right?’ And I said to Trump, I said ‘send me one of your bathrobes and an autograph. You know, a bathrobe out here.’ So, heard nothing from Bernie Sanders. Heard nothing from Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump sent me an autographed bathrobe.”(continued)

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Nice story. As an aside, that websites advertising is so aggressive and intrusive that it is almost unusable.
Bingo
Use the BRAVE browser and you won’t see them
Sweet.
Two out of the three in his story are complete assholes.
Trump is a mensch. I’m glad hillary blew him off,,,I hate to see Mike Rowe in a pantsuit!
I left the hall thinking: Donald Trump is going to be re-elected in 2020. The Democrats don’t have anyone who can touch him. Bank on it. Don’t hate me for being the one to tell you.
Trump fires up the charm with Downstate steel workers: ‘I could be one of you’
Great story - thanks for sharing.
Hillary could not afford to donate a pantsuit. She has owned only two since they left the WH in 2001.
use ghostary. Install it and use it. No ads. Fast surfing.
Trump playing the Everyman is so absurd it is actually kinda charming.
On the one hand, yes he is a NY Billionaire. On the other, he’s also more real than just about any politician I’ve seen. He talks like most people - at least most NYers - he has a worldview and values that resonate with many millions of Americans.
Could anybody say that about Hillary? No way.
Bump!
