Reality TV star Donald Trump has found an ally in fellow reality TV star Sarah Palin, who cheered Trump’s decision to run for the White House and the harsh press reaction he received.
“Mr. Trump should know he’s doing something right when the malcontents go ballistic in the press! There is no denying Donald J. Trump’s accomplishments and drive to create opportunity for every willing American to succeed,” she wrote.
“His own success is testament to the job-creating achievements made possible when one applies the courageous and tenacious pro-private sector precepts we need to fire up the economy,” she added.
Trump’s corporations have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcies four times, with the most recent example being in 2009. He has also launched several failed commercial ventures, including Trump Vodka, Trump Steaks, Trump Magazine, Trump Mortgage and Trump University.
Palin continued, “Trump joins a competitive field of GOP candidates that will duke it out in the arena of ideas and track records, a field representing diverse achievements. This, in contrast with the pro-big government party’s practice of merely anointing a chosen one, thus robbing voters of healthy debate.”
“Key to conservatives’ victory is to do our own vetting of each candidate, focus on their ability to unleash America’s entrepreneurial spirit and dramatically shrink government in order to prioritize our nation’s security,” she added.
She encouraged her fellow Republicans on Facebook to avoid the politics of “personal destruction.”
After the GOP candidates have been thoroughly vetted, she added, “we charge forward after the radical left hears America shout, ‘You’re fired!’ ”
On Monday, Palin also welcomed former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to the 2016 race, saying in a separate Facebook post that she was encouraged by his remarks on children with special needs.
