Donald Trump Ad Hominems Alienating How Many Viewers, Then? by Roxanne McDonald

Will his slamming fatties incur a boycott of season 6 of “The Apprentice” or does his ongoing feud with Rosie only add to publicity? |
As the news wires and reporters tell it and the critics comment on it (or them), Donald Trump’s invectives–”fat little Rosie,” a “fat slob,” and “I’d like to take some money out of her fatass pockets,” are not the first of many weightiest insults.
But more importantly, some say Trump knows damned well that ad hominems—and sizist ones at that—are not only inappropriate but bad for the image…. Or are they? Some point to the likelihood that this mutual mush-mouthing between moguls is good publicity.
So, I ask you, fat viewers (myself among you), do you boycott “The Apprentice,” standing up for your rotund right to live free of ostracism and slurs about your weight? Or do you let the bad roll like water (or unctuous, oily goo) off your backs, settle in, and enjoy the next season of competitions?
I will watch, for Trump doesn’t pay my rent directly but does give me some amount of income no matter what he does or says. And besides, though it may be like saying I will eat cat food cause there’s nothing else in the house, I will watch if there is nothing “better” on in that time slot.
Whatever.
