Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
Sunday’s Madison Square Garden rally, was political malpractice.Hinchcliffe’s now infamous set included a joke where he called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” And, well, it’s not good to offend an entire demographic of voters you’re still trying to woo.The Trump camp distanced themselves from the line and a report in the Bulwark said the bit was ad libbed.Hey, they were able to catch in the script a joke where Hinchcliffe called Kamala Harris the c-word, which a staffer asked him to remove.As the right did damage control amidst the uproar, President Biden apparently said “hold my ice cream cone” and decided to defend Puerto Rico’s honor — by calling Trump “supporters” garbage.The gaffe was reminiscent of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 “basket of deplorables” comment and also brought to mind Obama’s alleged assessment of his Veep’s instincts, “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to f–k things up.”Bumbling Joe, who is an actual politician and not a comedian, is now doing clean up duty.
With a major assist from the media who were outraged by Hinchcliffe just days ago.In the midst of this stinky mess remains a collective pearl clutching about the initial jokes (which was a reference to PR’s very real garbage problem).
Hinchcliffe’s set was not evidence that Trump is a racist.Having Hinchcliffe on the mic, while unsavvy and imprudent did, however, show someone in the former president’s camp has impeccable taste in comedy.Hinchcliffe is a take no prisoners roast comedian: an equal opportunity offender who deploys vicious put downs with the accuracy of a sniper.
