Whats Up with Donald Trump

Whats Up with Donald Trump Ive been avoiding writing something on Donald Trump for a long time, even though students, friends and co-workers from outside the U.S. keep asking me if this is for real. Does this guy really have a chance? A few have thought that Trump was actually some sort of bizarre joke.I havent written anything about it yet in part because I havent known exactly how to explain the Trump phenomenon. Also,  Trump gets a ridiculous amount of attention already, and I hate  to add to it. But the video Im using this week is just too funny to ignore.Whether or not you like him as the next president (just to be honest, I dont) you have to admit that hes been a master of attracting free media attention. His campaign has done next to no advertising, yet hes easily the best known candidate for the 2016 elections.Youve probably heard some his more controversial statements. Hes proposed banning all muslims from entering the United States, hes proposed somehow making all 11 million undocumented immigrants l eave, hes insulted women, and a disabled reporter.So why do people still like him? Why is he doing well in the polls? The video below makes an hilarious attempt at answering this question.
