Donald Trump is a friend of the Birthers. He's also a Friend of Fox. Having friends in such high places is extremely advantageous to his potential 2012 presidential run. Nothing can stop this scrappy underdog's wholesome PR campaign now except for the cruel network hacks at NBC and FOX, who may have to suspend his appearances on Celebrity Sweatshop Apprentice and Fox & Friends if he chooses to run for president.
Such was the case for candidates like Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum as they were booted from Fox as soon as they took the legal step of hiring an exploratory committee. The good news for our hero, and mankind itself, is that he is free to use his on-air time to promote and enrich himself as long as he doesn't take any legal steps to run—hey, it's working fine for Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee.
So The Donald will continue to humbly bide his time, as he did this morning in his first day as a Monday fixture on Fox & Friends, telling the crew that we should "take Iraq's oil" because "in the old days, when you win a war, to the victor belong the spoils." FINALLY: diplomacy we can believe in. Although in the "the old days," they probably didn't have hairpieces made of sugar gliders, and you went to jail if you bankrupted a business. Even so, this great nation will keep its eyes glued to our jowly future savior. If we've learned anything from the Donald, it's that he's not into bluffing.
