I have no reason to doubt it. He hosted a popular reality tv show. Never watched it, but I don't know why having a successful television career would disqualify anyone from public office. What I do know is that the more his opponents accuse him of racism, hate, and sexism, the more appealing Trump becomes. If some people truly do not want Trump to become more popular, his opponents better lay-off the slurs.
Obviously you do not know much about Trump. I'd suggest actually watching some of his stump speeches, debates, and interviews. It's Trump's actions and words that brand him racist, sexist, and xenophobic. He says Mexico sends us rapists. He blames unemployment on them. He blames all of the United States' economic woes on Mexico and China. He has said blacks are unemployable. He is casually sexist. Of course he also says he loves China, loves hispanics, loves women. It's just that he also wants to bury them all.
His words also brand him as either a liar or appallingly ignorant. He does not know what Nato does. He thinks China's attempt to strengthen their currency will increase the trade deficit (because people always buy more when things get more expensive?). He cannot pronounce what he calls Tanz Zane Eee Ah. He thinks waterboarding and torture are legal and a really good thing. Now he would like to pay back U.S debt at pennies on the dollar.
His tax scheme has changed 180 degrees at least three times during his run. So has his position on Obama Care, minimum wage, abortion, and the interest rate. I have no idea what he believes because he either hasn't formed an opinion yet, or doesn’t want us to know what that opinion is.
He's also casually cruel. Google "little Rubio." Try Clinton can't satisfy the nation because she can't satisfy Bill. Better yet, google his statements about Ted Cruz's father being associated with Lee Harvey Oswald, said after it was clear Trump was going to take Indiana anyway. But four hours later he said Cruz was a great guy. POWs are losers not heros. Making fun of the handicapped on national TV is great fun. It's all on video. His favorite bible verse is an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth. Don't read the comentary, watch him do and say it.
But he's very very smart (he tells us so in syllables of two or usually less), he's very handsome, his penis is big, women love him, the blacks love him, hispanics love him---how could we doubt it , he said so himself. And the really, really great thing about him? He's rich. His words not mine.
And yet he can't talk about his wealth without embellishing the numbers two or three hundred percent. What he says he has and what Forbes and Fortune think he has are dramatically different. If he had simply put his inherited money in a stock index fund, he'd be worth close to what he actually is worth today. He has succeeded at real-estate (despite or perhaps because of three bankruptcies), beauty pagents, and reality TV. He's failed at steak, vodka, perfume, football, and airlines. He pretends the steak is still a thing, though he doesn't bother to remove the local butchers labels.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
