As a big fat thank you for his relentless attacks on Barack Obama, for disrespecting the office of the presidency and for his despicable accusations regarding Obama's citizenship and college records, we should boycott anything and everything Donald Trump. It's time to send a clear message to this race-baiting, arrogant, self-aggrandizing fool that what he's been doing in his attempts to delegitimize Obama's presidency is not only irresponsible and reprehensible, but unpatriotic as well. For that there must be a price to pay. And what would hurt Trump most is a swift kick to his ego and his wallet.
So what I propose is this: if you've been offended by the unconscionable claims Mr. Dreadful Hair has made regarding Obama's birth certificate and his Columbia and Harvard degrees, stop watching Trump's reality show The Apprentice. Let the show fail. Show him and NBC that it's not ok to do and say anything to attack our president, especially in such a manner intended to stoke the flames of hatred and racism.
Stop going to Trump's casinos in Atlantic City, which are listed here. There are plenty of other casinos which are owned and run by decent people who probably don't question Obama's citizenship or whether he's properly earned his degrees.
Stop buying Trump's Signature Collection clothing line. Do you really want the brand of ignorance and anti-Americanism stamped on your back now?
Stop staying at Trump Hotels in New York, Chicago, Las Vegas and Hawaii. There are so many respectable hotel chains who'd happily take your money while not claiming that President Obama's an illegal alien who cheated his way through college and grad school.
Take a stand, America, and let Donald Trump know that there are consequences to his shameful actions. Let's see how proud and honored we can really make him.

I don't believe that Trump has ever been a serious candidate. Were he, he would have been busily organizing campaign groups in the critical primary states, beginning to recruit volunteers to staff phone banks, develop white papers and positions rather than simply gutter sniping and haranguing the basest elements of the voting public.
But the media like ready made stories and Trump is arguably the greatest self-promoter in fifty years and can always call the New York Post Page 6 editor, or someone else to get some print and air time for free.
I don't believe that he is nearly as wealthy as he maintains. He has repeatedly filed for bankruptcy protection and his once impressive control of the Atlantic City properties has been diluted as he has sought to raise cash. His investment partners are actually the majority owners of the luxury apartment towers in New York. His newest venture in Las Vegas is mostly vacant; his timing or his "magic" is long gone. I imagine that many of his remaining residences are hugely mortgaged and are probably upside down and unsellable, as is most of the luxury housing market has been tanking, price-wise.
In other words, if he doesn't get additional television shows, or get the ratings up of his old-school reality show to generate more ad revenues and up his paychecks and sell more of his ghost written, "Admire me/Envy me/I'm Donald Trump and You're Not Books he may be like the late McCarthy Lawyer Roy Cohn trying to live large but in actuality just as cash poor as the rest of the "little people" he so despises.
