    Because he’s a name people recognize, people like him, and, as much as I don’t like it, Trump’s name in articles gets clicks. Maybe you view it as more of a tabloid article, but if you could maybe stop being so argumentative about it for ten or fifteen seconds, you’d realize the man actually said something pretty damn good. And made you’d think the same of Joe Schmoo down the street if you paused to listen. Not everyone needs to be an expert in order to speak and have a platform.

      No one is saying he’s wrong. The problem is we give too much merit to the opinions of the rich and famous only because they’re rich and famous.

      We shouldn’t be listening to Leonardo Di’capprio about global warming even if he is right. We should be listening to scientists

        So many downvotes, and you make perfect sense. If we didn’t have so much ridiculous celebrity worship in this country, that stupid, unqualified orange buffoon never would have become president in the first place.
