Donald Trump Interview WMUR - Sunday, May 1, 2011

I'll say this right up front - I am not a Donald Trump fan. Aside from not liking that he was divorced so many times, I had no opinion of him until a few years back when he and Rosie O'Donnell got into their head-to-head battle. Rosie called Donald a "snake-oil salesman" and Donald called Rosie "disgusting inside and out...a slob." All that name-calling caused me to lose respect for them both.

I feel I must voice my opinion on the interview with Donald Trump that aired on WMUR on Sunday, May 1, 2011. Mr. Trump was asked, when speaking of his possible presidential run, if he could really relate to the working-class people of New Hampshire. Mr. Trump answered that he didn't think he needed to sit down with two people here, two people there and that the people of New Hampshire are smart and could figure out things on their own.

The commentator said Mr. Trump had a lot to learn if he didn't think he had to sit down with the little guys in New Hampshire during a presidential campaign. Not to stick up for Donald Trump, but I don't think that is what he was saying. I, although maybe I'm naive, thought he was saying he didn't think he had to sit down and have lunch one-on-one with people in NH, for them to know he understood the issues of the little guy. I'm just sayin'....
