Loser Trump Has No Famous Friends

[Danascot]

Donald Trump has hung his entire career on his celebrity, and only his celebrity. After all, he has the business acumen of a ripe mango, the looks of moldy mango, and the charm of a mango after it's been eaten, shit out, and left in a dumpster for seven months. The only thing he's had going for him is that he lives the life of a rich and famous person, thanks in large part to years of tax-dodging and a hefty inheritance from his father. For decades, his lifestyle spent hobnobbing with A-listers has been his sole social currency and public persona—a clownish caricature of a comically lavish mogul. He would gleefully post a photo on Instagram of himself popping his lil baby carrot thumbs up, posing beside any celebrity that would come within 500 yards of him, from Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to Tiger Woods. He bought a beauty pageant just so he could have his name attached to attractive women. He even hosted a TV show with the word right in the title—The Celebrity Apprentice, a reality circle jerk that featured celebrities competing for Big Donny's approval, insomuch as Bret Michaels and Stephen Baldwin can be considered celebrities.

But over the last few years, the glitterati which once paid lip service to The Donald as a pop culture fixture has turned its back on him. Over the course of his venture into politics, he has gone from a red carpet staple to a party pariah, and who can even say why? Fame is fickle, but perhaps it has something to do with—and this is just a stab in the dark here—his years-long clinging to the racist birther movement, his characterization of Mexicans as rapists and criminals, his idea to put Muslims on a national registry, his suggestion that there should be punishment for women who have abortions, mocking of disabled people, his bragging of sexual assault, and his incessant, erratic Twitter tirades aimed at anyone or anything who has even vaguely wronged him. But again, it's anyone's guess.

1. I'd go so far as to state Donald Trump doesn't have friends, period.

Trump has a bunker mentality, where he only associates with a handful of confidantes including his children. He may "socialize" in the sense of making business deals, but nothing terribly personal.

I read somewhere that when you have dinner with Trump, it lasts only 45 minutes because that's the length of time it takes for him to finish eating. That doesn't lend itself to sparkling conversation, socializing, catching up, remembering good times, etc.

When Trump has done jock-sniffing with celebrities, he's always ensured there's a photo to memorialize that event and puts it on his F/B page. If they've shown up at Trump Tower, it's likely because he's had his people send out open invitations of "If you're ever in the neighborhood . . . . ," not because they wanted to waste valuable time visiting him.

Celebrity friends. Oxymoron and non-existent.
