Donald Trump, who doesn’t hesitate to make painfully blunt remarks, sort of got overlooked during the past week, and will have to work diligently to recover his popularity.
Trump’s speedy ascent to the top in Republican polls with a signature pompous capture of media attention that surprised the political world, is now at risk. Many have sneered at the idea that he is serious about his presidential expectations. Now, he will have to pick himself up, brush himself off and get back into the fight.
The killing of Osama bin Laden, and the success of Barack Obama’s administration have drawn attention away from other candidates, as well as Trump. Since Trump was so loudly vocal on the subject of “the birth certificate,” the impact of Obama’s success was even more devastating to him. During the time when Obama’s birth certificate was receiving so much attention and he made the statement stating he had “other things to do,” the world wasn’t aware Obama was referring to the planning of a daring raid by helicopter, to destroy a “most-wanted” terrorist and murderer.
It is no surprise that Obama leads Trump by a hefty percentage in a “Newsweek/Daily Beast poll” taken after the mission to get bin Laden. Trump’s popularity dropped considerably as 64% of the people polled expressed negative feelings about him.
At the “White House Correspondents” Dinner, Trump was roasted to an embarrassingly great extent, and SNL also referred to Trump as a joke. These events inferred that he was not serious in his pursuit of the presidential position. Trump has avoided speaking publicly since the death of bin Laden, except for congratulating President Obama and he gave no response to a request for an interview, as well as canceling TV appearances.
Who knows how The Donald will overcome this hurdle and how or if, he will respond to the claims revealed by NY1 cable station, saying he never voted in primary elections for a period of 21 years; the information that he disclosed about a high draft lottery number keeping him from fighting in Vietnam, which was found to be debatable, if not untrue; the “Smoking Gun Website,” which stated a series of student deferments were received by Trump in college and then, after graduation, that he got a medical deferment?
Trump has a reputation for getting headlines. All of these actions and reactions are proverbial fodder for the media. This is not an indication, however, that Trump can steal the show again and seriously get himself back into the race for President, but the fact is, he certainly knows how to garner attention and news.
President Obama has now put himself in an enviable position – one that will be difficult to overcome.
