Trump makes a bold move to appeal to women
It’s been reported for a while now that Donald Trump doesn’t do very well in polls of women—even Republican women. At a rally this morning in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, he announced a startling move that represents an attempt to rectify that problem.
Speaking without prepared notes, as he often does, Trump had this to say:
You know, all this hype about how women don’t like me—it’s just garbage. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: “I cherish women. I want to help women. I’m going to be able to do things for women that no other candidate would be able to do, and it’s very important to me.”
I don’t know where anyone would get any other idea about me. But maybe I need to prove it in a very dramatic way, so you’ll know how much I mean it. I’m going to be the GOP nominee—you know I am, there’s no one who can beat me, no one is even close, they’re a bunch of losers. So I don’t think it’s too early to announce my pick for Vice-President.
At that point the crowd roared with excitement. Cries of “Sarah! Sarah!” rang out—a reference to early Trump-supporter, Sarah Palin, who was John McCain’s vice presidential running mate in 2008. Trump added:
No, although Sarah would make a great vice-president, just great, I love her, and I know there will be a place for her in my cabinet when I win.
But this time I want to choose a political outsider like me. I know that means a lot to you. Someone who has never held public office and isn’t a part of the establishment. Someone who is independently wealthy, like me, so she’s not beholden to donors or anybody else. Someone who knows how to act in front of a crowd, and who knows how to use Twitter with the best of them. And you know what? Even Hillary Clinton has said this woman is warm, personable, and inspirational, so you can’t argue with that.
So I’m so happy to introduce someone I know very well—and as I’ve said before she’s always been very nice to me—meet the next Vice President of the United States: Kim Kardashian!!
The crowd went wild at the sight of the two together. For the occasion, Kim was especially covered up in a black turtleneck sheath dress, her hair in a sedate bun:
After the stunning announcement, Trump let the press ask him a few questions. One of the first was from an AP reporter who referred to Trump’s 2013 appearance on the Howard Stern show, when he had claimed that Kardashian had a “fat ass.” “Mr. Trump do you still believe that,” he was asked, “and if so, don’t you think that disqualifies her from being your running mate?”
Trump responded that he’d made the “fat ass” comment long before he knew he was running for president. “Now I see things completely differently,” he added. “Now when I look at Kim, I don’t even see her body. I’m thinking only of her brain, and what she can do for the women of this country. And what’s more, she’s never worked for Goldman Sachs.”
With that, the GOP frontrunner unveiled a new campaign slogan and sign:
Bummer. When I started reading the article, I was hoping that the VP pick would be you. Balancing the ticket and all that.
Nice try. Had me for a split second.
April fool.I hope
…well, I may not like the TDS slant around here, but that slogan would be brilliant political sloganeering.

Kudos.
You missed a bright career there, neo.
Well… at least Kardashian is more qualified than Hillary 😉
Wonderful, excellent, I had to read all the way down to the name Kim K. before I realized what you were doing….. Holy Crap…. this is the best laugh I have had in a week. Thanks, I needed this.
Why bother, Gallup says he has nearly alienated over 85% of women… which makes no sense unless the people giving the poll people lies to mark off rather than the truth.
The Left Has a ONE Word Fear of Trump
http://theblacksphere.net/2016/03/the-left-has-a-one-word-fear-of-trump/
Trump has what neither Hillary nor Bernie have and will never have. Trump has diversity.
Recently the New York Times decided to visit a Trump rally, and reported:
“For a campaign frequently depicted as offering a rallying point for the white working class, the people volunteering to help Mr. Trump here are noteworthy for their ethnic diversity…They include a young woman who recently arrived from Peru; an immigrant from the Philippines; a 70-year-old Lakota Indian; a teenage son of Russian immigrants; a Mexican-American.”
[the point is that they have been lying to you and you have never had a clear image of the man outside the lies of racism, anti woman, anti semetic, anti anti, etc]
“Moreso than any GOP candidate, Trump has the best ability to squash the racism narrative”
there was a VERY interesting piece about the polls and how in the 1940s the pollsters had numbers of 80% answers, as they years went by, the journalists turned into social scientists lost more and more and more people asnwering..
would you realize that in some cases these polls have less than 100 people answering out of more than 1000 calls? that in some cases, according to the pollster writing the aritcle, the whole poll is a total of three people answered?
“Democracy and Political Ignorance” and “Just How Stupid Are We?” are two recent books whose titles hint at the scope of the problem.
(looks at calendar)
I see what you did there. She’s no Sidd Finch.
Makes as much sense as anything else this election year.
The scary part is — I realized this was a parody because I know you a little, Neo. Had I seen it on a news site, I might well have believed it. This election cycle has been just that weird!
I can’t wait for Hillary to announce HER running mate. (I’m expecting it’ll be Huma. Or maybe some long-dead Chicago Democrat.)
Had me going for a few seconds. I should have realized what it was when he was sounding coherent rather than the usual jumble of disconnected words that we usually get from Trrump.
Neo, have you seen The Daily Wire’s endorsement?

Nick:
Funny stuff.
This is the best April 1 piece I have read.
love it
y81:
Thanks! I made sure the links are appropriate, too.
Plus, I don’t know whether anyone noticed the name of the town. It’s a real town in Wisconsin.
Khloe would have been better. She’s the fighter of the group. Or the mother. She’s the brain as in singular not brains of the group.
Wait wait … all above are dems.
But Kaitlin … he/she is a true repub!
On another note … and NOT April fools.
Obama won’t even allow other leaders to say “islamist terrorists!
http://hotair.com/archives/2016/04/01/pathetic-white-house-silences-translation-audio-when-french-president-mentions-islamist-terrorism/
That is pathetic.
As I read it I was wondering whether it was Trump’s joke, or Neo’s. The consensus seems to be that it is Neo’s. Which makes sense; I don’t know that Trump could make light of himself.
Artfldgr comes to us from the other side of reality as usual. For your info Dgr, of the women I correspond with only one has admitted to supporting Trump. She voted for him in Florida to spite Romney for “talking bad” about Trump. Then she begged forgiveness. Not really a stupid woman; she just demonstrates that a certain percentage of ordinarily sensible Americans are still susceptible to snake oil. The rest of the women I know, ranging in age from 19 to 50+, gag if his name comes up.
@oldflyer –
Of course.
To contrast though, all the women I know personally support Trump (even those like myself who are Cruz supporters first).
Confirmation bias: it’s not just a river in Egypt lol.
Just sayin’.
I got all the way to the Trumpkard poster before I figured out it was a joke.
April 1 when I saw the Kim Kardasian picture.
Very well done. You had me until almost the last!
Trumpkard. I look forward to the ballet!
At one point I was thinking…screaming internally… “Carly Noooooooo!”
Then you mentioned Kardashian and the jig was up.
Good one neo!
I got all the way to the Trumpkard poster before I figured out it was a joke.
If you had more paranoia you would have had greater institutional awareness before then, AV.
You made me smile. Thanks for that.
These days every day is April Fools Day.
Thanks, I needed that….
This will be a joke up until Trump actually does it.
Matt_SE:
🙂
Thanks, Neo!! My first reaction was a long, long “Whaaa—— ?!?!? — ?!?! ” until I got it.
TrumpKard! I like it.
And thanks also to the commenters! — The comments are almost as much fun as the article itself!
(( But I *was* disappointed that the Daily Wire felt the need to add #AprilFools at the end of their article.
Of course, if they have many Kollige Gradutes as readers, their legal team probably considered it necessary in order to forestall bomb threats … snerk! ))
Kim would surely round out his ticket.
Excellent! This definitely deserves a link to instapundit. Calling Ed Driscoll.
I don’t even see her body. I’m thinking only of her brain, and what she can do for the women of this country. And what’s more, she’s never worked for Goldman Sachs.”
What her job, please?
Excellent parody and April Fool. However, I fear that if Trump gets nomination, his pick for VP won’t be any more relevant than Kardashian.
I was wondering what you were going to come up with. I expected a “change of heart” Trump endorsement.
However, with that clever bumper sticker, I think you might have inadvertently handed Trump supporters a theme, if they only change one letter.
“Now is the time for working Americans to use (play) their … etc. etc …”
Or maybe not.
You would think that with so much qualified material out there he might at least have floated a few public trial balloons before announcing his pick as Kardashian.
Maybe Britney Spears, for example. But then he already seem to have substantial support in the South.
J Lo might have helped in California – if that is where she is from. On the other hand Puerto Rico isn’t much of a prize vote-wise.
He already has all the support he is going to get in New York and Michigan, so I guess he doesn’t need to consider Madonna.
And of course Mylie Cyrus is too young, Constitutionally speaking … if that makes a difference.
Well, I guess if you review the alternatives, it shows that Trump’s judgment is pretty sound after all.
