Trump Forgives Miss America

This news is a few days old but certainly thought stimulating.

Trump Lets Miss USA Keep Her Title

Quote:

"I've always been a believer in second chances," said Trump, who owns the Miss Universe Organization and Miss USA with NBC. "Tara is going to be given a second chance."

Rosie Slams Trump, The Donald Fires Back

Quote:

The battle began on Wednesday's show, when a peeved O'Donnell said: "(He) left the first wife – had an affair. (He) had kids both times, but he's the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America. Donald, sit and spin, my friend."

Quote:

She also turned her wrath toward the Miss USA organization itself. "Miss America is the prestige," she said. "Miss USA is a different thing. It's basically a model competition. Let's be realistic."

Trump's response? "She talked about the Miss USA contest, which has terrific ratings on NBC. Miss America got thrown off of network television! It's (on cable), where nobody watches it," he said, countering her statements. "And my father never gave me tons of money."

He also thinks Rosie's rant against him was personal. Trump says he once sarcastically chastised Rosie about her "failed magazine" and "failed talk show." Added The Donald: "I think she's just terrible."

I saw this story on FOXNews a week or so ago. It shed a little light on the state of American society.

I think it was a nice jester on the part of Donald Trump in forgiving the young woman. However I think he should have just ignored O'Donnell because addressing her critism just gives it credibility. Afterall, he isn't a politician and doesn't need to be worried about public opinion polls.
