Trump and Megyn Kelly Don't Get Along Because They're Too Much Alike

Megyn Kelly and Donald Trump

Yes, Donald Trump's sexist quip to Megyn Kelly, accusing her of posing hard questions at the Republican debate because "she had blood wherever," was crude and unconscionable.  But let's be frank about this Donald Trump-Megyn Kelly rift.  Trump treats Ms. Kelly like just another high-paid stripper at one of his nightclubs, because, well. . . maybe that's the way he sees her.  The woman is not a journalist. She is a television personality, whose high-paid job has, for the past six years, been to fan white male rage at the Obama Administration, wrapped in pink lace.  A recent article in Media Matters laid out Megyn Kelly's long history of making offensive remarks about minorities.

Trump believes, whether or not it is true, that he knows Kelly, that he understands what motivates her. The billionaire businessman turned presidential candidate probably also thinks that he could buy her loyalty and respect if he were willing to pay the right price.   And whose fault is that?

For years, Megyn Kelly pulled on a short skirt, high heels, blond hair extension clips and traipsed down to the FOX News studio in order to sell her soul for money.   The target audience are the kinds of men  who would take a shotgun to the tv screen if the female newscaster looked and dressed like former first lady Barbara Bush.  So, maybe Trump and Megyn Kelly are just too much alike.
