9 Ways Donald Trump Could Be Unlike Any Other Nominee
The New York Times
By NICK CORASANITI
There has never been a presumptive nominee for a major party quite like Donald J. Trump. Not only is he a newcomer to the world of politics, but he would shatter the mold of party standard-bearer. Mr. Trump, who now appears all but certain to clinch his party’s presidential nomination, would be the first in a range of colorful categories.
First reality TV star to be nominee
Mr. Trump hosted 14 seasons of “The Apprentice” on NBC, drawing millions of viewers to the show and adding to his personal fortune. He claimed in a personal financial disclosure form that he earned more than $213 million over the course of the show, but NBC never confirmed that claim. Whatever the paycheck, the show gave Mr. Trump something money cannot buy: his signature catchphrase, “You’re fired.”
First nominee to be inducted into the World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame
The candidate has his own “superstar” bio on the World Wrestling Entertainment website, which refers to him as a “captivating billionaire,” a “pop culture icon” and “outspoken alpha male.” He has clobbered Vince McMahon with a clothesline move and then forcefully shaved his opponent’s head in the ring. He has been on the receiving end of a neck-wrenching move from Stone Cold Steve Austin, and he has a relationship with the organization that goes back to Andre the Giant. In 2013, he was awarded the highest honor in professional wrestling: an induction into the prestigious Hall of Fame.
First nominee with a supporting role in a Bo Derek movie
In 1989, Mr. Trump played himself in “Ghosts Can’t Do It,” a widely panned movie summed up as an “American romantic crime fantasy comedy film.” The plot involves the main character dying and becoming a ghost, his wife trying to drown a young man so that the deceased husband can inhabit an earthly body again and engage in carnal pleasures again, and so that they can complete a business deal with Mr. Trump (or something like that). The film was a success at the Razzie awards, winning worst picture, worst actress, worst director and worst supporting actor: Mr. Trump.
