The Donald Goes After Bill Cosby
by Cynthia S. Wright
Apparently, Donald Trump is planning to slam everyone who has anything negative to say about him. Last week, Bill Cosby trashed the Donald on the “Today” show and when repeatedly asked about his feelings towards Trump’s wanting to run for Presidential office, bluntly stated that the Celebrity Apprentice owner was “full of it” and that he needed to run or shut his mouth because all he is doing right now is yapping.
Trump is well known for engaging in verbal wars with his adversaries, so it doesn’t come as that much of a surprise that he would go after Bill Cosby in such a manner.
Yesterday, in a released statement, Trump decided to give the iconic Jell-o spokesman a piece of his horribly toupee-wearing mind.
“The other day on The Today Show, right after I was interviewed by Meredith Vieira, a terrific person and reporter, I happened to watch Bill Cosby who was on at the end of the show. While I have never been a fan of Cosby’s, I had always assumed he liked or respected me because every time I met him—the last time at the David Letterman show where I preceded him as a guest—he was always so nice, saying “let’s get together”—asking me out to dinner, and being polite to the point of offering to buy me a suit because he has a “great tailor.”In any event, as I watched the show, the subject of Donald Trump came up. I was surprised to hear him blabber, somewhat incoherently “you run or shut up.” The hatred was pouring out of his eyes when he said this. As I am sure he must know I cannot run until this season of Celebrity Apprentice ends. I know that he has taken a lot of heat over the years in that he seems to be talking down to the people he’s talking to and purportedly trying to help. Actually, based on the way he acted, things are not looking too good for Cosby.I wish he would be more honest, and if he doesn’t want me to run because he’s obviously an Obama fan, he should state the reasons and not come into my “green room” in front of numerous witnesses and treat me like his best friend, only to denigrate me when I’m not around. Sadly, he got more attention talking about me than he did on the merits of his own appearance—maybe he is not as dumb as I thought.”
When did Donald Trump become such a crybaby? How can he take offense when he has went on multiple TV shows ranting about his “birther” doctrine to anyone that would listen. Has Obama retaliated? No. Know why? He has more important things to do beside cater to the megalomaniac ego of an – at best – average businessman. It is evident that Trump isn’t capable of handling those that disagree or stand up to his foolishness (e.g. Rosie O’Donnell, Gail Collins, Vanity Fair, etc.), what will he do when has serious political adversaries? If he believes that a nation wants to see their President conduct personal matters in this type of way because his “feelings are hurt”, Trump may be in for a rude awakening.
