Donald Trump Labled 'Clown' by Political Observers - story w/pics

Donald Trump Labled 'Clown' by Political Observers

Unless you live under a rock, you're probably aware that real estate mogul and master media manipulator Donald Trump is once again entering the GOP presidential fray. This time he's not contemplating a run at the White House or attempting to host a debate, but casting his lot for front-runner Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor.

Predictably, the media has run wild with covering the Thursday announcement. In fact, the news was first misreported on Wednesday that Trump would endorse Romney rival, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, only to be re-reported that the endorsement would be for Romney.

But what does it actually mean for Trump to endorse a candidate?

The mere fact that this is even a story speaks to the foolish emphasis that some of us not just citizens, but of course media, put on the words of some people," says Michael Fauntroy, professor of public policy at George Mason University. "Donald Trump is not a serious political figure here in America."
