Obama Claims the Presidency is Not a Reality Show
BY: Andrew Kugle March 18, 2016 4:57 am
President Obama said in February during a press conference in California that he doesn’t believe that Donald Trump will be president of the United States. Obama also said that the office of the presidency is more than just a reality show and marketing.
“I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president,” Obama said. “It’s not hosting a talk show, or a reality show. It’s not promotion, it’s not marketing.”
Before running for president, Trump was a prominent real estate mogul who was well-known for promoting his wide-range of products, and he was the host of the NBC reality TV show The Apprentice.Now the former reality star is the front-runner for the Republican Party.
While Obama criticized Trump for his reality show and his constant self-promotion, the past seven years the president has appeared on a number of reality and talk shows. Many times in these appearances, Obama was promoting his agenda.
For instance, Obama appeared on the show “Between Two Ferns,” a spoof celebrity interview show, to promote Obama’s Affordable Care Act.
Obama was criticized for his appearance as something that past presidents wouldn’t have done. Obama defended his decision to do the show.
In another instance, Obama allowed three “YouTube celebrities” to interview him after one of his State of the Union addresses. One of the interviewers was YouTube star Glozell. Glozell is most notable from her “Cereal Challenge” video, where she sat in a bathtub full of milk and fruit loops and tried to eat the fruit loops while they floated in the bathtub.
Obama has been a frequent guest of late night TV shows and has been a guest on some reality shows like “Running Wild With Bear Grylls.”
If Donald Trump is elected president, he wouldn’t be the first celebrity to hold elected office. TV show star Jerry Springer, comedian Al Franken, wrestler Jesse Ventura, and movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger all were elected to public office.
Even President Ronald Reagan was an actor before being elected as governor of California and later president.
