There are many theories as to why Donald Trump ran for president. Some say it was because Seth Meyers and President Obama made fun of him at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, others say it was to further his business, and this week, Michael Moore told The Hollywood Reporter that Trump ran for president because of former No Doubt front woman and The Voice judge Gwen Stefani.
According to THR, Moore suggested that Trump was inspired to announce his run for president after learning that Stefani was earning higher performance fees from NBC as a judge on The Voice than he was as host of The Apprentice, because he thought staging his elevator-heavy campaign announcement at Trump Tower in June 2015 would show the network just how popular he was. Moore, who is currently promoting his upcoming documentary Fahrenheit 11/9, was reportedly “delighted with the audacity of the claim” after making it.
“He’d been talking about running for president since 1988, but he didn’t really want to be president,” Moore said. “There’s no penthouse in the White House. And he doesn’t want to live in a black city. He was trying to pit NBC against another network, but it just went off the rails.”
It is, indeed, a theory. And it’s not hard to imagine that Trump, upon learning the distressing news that a woman was being fairly compensated for her work, would be prompted to do something drastic. Then again, maybe he just ran so he could spend more time fondling flags.
Is there really anyone - anyone at all - on Planet Earth who takes this character seriously?
Progressoman rolls off the couch and waddles once more. He attaches his sheet ... or um ... cape, and deploys his super weapon, his huge gaping mouth. And once again, progressoman disappoints and confuses the crowd. He claims a billionaire was jealous of the paycheck a singer had on a side gig. So what would any billionaire do in that situation ? Run for President of course. And that my friends is Progressoman at his unfortunate best.
Well, if Michael Moore said it, it must be the truth. He never lies.
