Donald Trump<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When you are a leader, it’s good to send people off your trail by having a bit of a loon serve as second in command.<\/p>\n

Some people feel President Barack Obama did just that when he selected Joe Biden as vice president.<\/p>\n

Biden, you might recall, reportedly plagiarized speeches and was known for saying nutty stuff BEFORE becoming VP.<\/p>\n

If Gary Busey was auditioning for the job as Trump’s VP on this season of “Celebrity Apprentice”, then The Donald should have just two words for him:<\/p>\n

“You’re Hired!”<\/p>\n

Busey, after all, was brilliant in getting more than his share of attention on his short stint on the program.<\/p>\n

Meat Loaf, for one, was plenty baked at Busey and wanted to tear the actor apart after one disagreement.<\/p>\n

And you thought people didn’t like Dick Cheney?<\/p>\n

In standing up to Busey, Meat Loaf showed in that instance he would make a strong secretary of defense in a Trump administration.<\/p>\n

Speaking of more potential cabinet members, poor LaToya Jackson, bumped off a recent episode in favor of Nene Leakes and Star Jones, is a soft-spoken person who could best serve as secretary of state.<\/p>\n

(LaToya returned after stating her case to ‘The Donald’ but only lasted one\u00a0 task and was dismissed in favor of John Rich and Lil’ Jon).<\/p>\n

Word is, however, that Meat Loaf already got word of the potential appointments in the next president’s administration and approached Trump about them.<\/p>\n

“Mr. Trump,” said Meat Loaf, with tears starting to roll down his eyes. “I like your decisions on having LaToya and I serve in your cabinet but I have to disagree with you wanting to make Gary Busey your vice president!”<\/p>\n

Trump took a moment and then calmly and coolly replied … “Meat Loaf … don’t be sad, you of all people should know … that two out of three ain’t bad!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
