Ding-ding, round….? We’ve lost count.
Rent-a-quote, Donald Trump, has been spouting his mouth off again.
And despite months of the toupéed one saying off-the-scale wild gibberish about any topic that comes to mind, a Toronto councillor has decided that enough is enough.
Ward 22 Coun. Josh Matlow, tweeted yesterday saying:
I believe the owners of Toronto’s Trump Tower should change its name. Toronto is a diverse & respectful city. Donald Trump is a fascist.

Trump really outdid himself this time (because, surely he occupies numbers one to five of the most ridiculous potential candidates) when he called for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the US”. Earlier this week, Vancouver city planner, Brent Toderian, also suggested via his Twitter account that the controversial billionaire’s name should be removed from the building in their city.
As #Trump calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S, I seriously suggest that Vancouverites call on @TrumpVancouver to remove his name.

The PR firm that represent the Trump Organization said that Donald Trump’s comments in no way reflect the views of the company. But it’s pretty hard to separate the man from the name when he’s on TV every other day saying something that ranges from mildly regrettable to outright racist.
Meanwhile, on this particular topic it would seem Mr. Trump, with all his money, apparently neglected to hire another human (or even purchase a pencil and notepad) so that he might record the opinions he claims to have. ‘Cause back in September he told the world he “loved Muslims” and that they were “phenomenal people”.
And Toronto is not the only city fed up with the fickle host of The Apprentice. London is pretty damn mad as well.
Off the back of Trump’s claims that there are parts of the capital that are “so radicalized” police officers “fear for their very lives”, a petition was launched to deny his entry into the UK.
After the petition reached 100,000 signatures the website crashed and was down for around 20 minutes due to the high volume of people wanting to sign it.
Matlow said to CBC, “Donald Trump is no longer a celebrity circus clown who gets into fights with Rosie O’Donnell. He’s not simply the host of The Apprentice, he’s one of the leading contenders for the presidency of the United States. What he says matters now.”
We never thought we’d be saying this, but what we’d give to be watching The Apprentice rather than having to put up with this all-too-real reality TV…
