The Huffington Post is taking a stand against Donald Trump and issued a statement on Friday morning saying that they’re banning Trump from appearing in any of its political coverage.
But you will find the 2016 GOP candidate in the entertainment section, right next to some other people America seems to have a love/hate relationship with: The Kardashians.
The note about “Donald Trump’s ‘campaign’” came from its Washington Bureau Chief Ryan Grim and Editorial Director Danny Shea.
After watching and listening to Donald Trump since he announced his candidacy for president, we have decided we won’t report on Trump’s campaign as part of The Huffington Post’s political coverage. Instead, we will cover his campaign as part of our Entertainment section. Our reason is simple: Trump’s campaign is a sideshow. We won’t take the bait. If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you’ll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette.
It’s hard to argue that Trump’s campaign is a bit of a sideshow — and entertaining. Chew on this: Readers taking our quiz have a tough time figuring out if specific Trump quotes came from him as a 2016 candidate or his time on the WWE fake wrestling circuit.
Not a single reader has aced the test, and a majority have failed to even get 70 percent of them correct.
So yes, Trump does blur the line between politics and entertainment, but at least he’s not shaving anybody’s head while he continues to lead polls.
