“Whoa!” (Get it?) Mikhail Gorbachev better call Barack Obama on the red phone (I know how stuff works) and tell him it’s a wrap, because real presidential candidate who is definitely running for president and it is not a lazy half-hearted publicity stunt, Donald Trump, just secured another powerful endorsement: Joey Lawrence. Of course, it’s rare for Mr. Lawrence to break his LEGENDARY silence so early in the race, but in a recent interview with FOX News (via Dlisted) he couldn’t remain silent any longer about how much he loves that fucking racist Donald Trump:
I think Donald is an interesting character. He’s an amazing CEO, this is a business. This is a business, running this country is a business and it has not been run the last decade the right way, whether it’s Republican or Democrat, so it’s not really a party issue, it’s more of a person issue. Somebody has to get in there and really hold people accountable.
“This is a business.” It’s probably safe to just assume that Joey Lawrence is a civics teacher, right? Look, I am totally open to anyone who wants to argue that their concerns about the direction the country is heading in are not a party issue and have to do with what they believe to be the general welfare and future prosperity of this country, but they can’t make that argument in a loose-knit endorsement of DONALD TRUMP. “It is weird that Joey Lawrence doesn’t seem to have particularly convincing or well-informed political opinions,” said a person I just made up who represents no one. Seriously, though, between this and Trump’s backing of the powerful Gary Busey Lobby, he is a shoe-in for Most Blatantly Racist Garbage Non-Candidate for President in the 2012 Race So Far! It is really heating up!

“Gimme a break!” – Us
It had to be done.
Whoa.
Maybe Donald Trumps could make a guest appearance on Melissa and Joey if that’s still a thing.
It is! – ABC Family
*sigh* It is…. – the rest of the world
So this is only semi-related but did you guys know that Donald Trump’s daughter maybe possibly dated Topher Grace?
Topher’s rep said “I don’t comment on Topher’s personal life.” which is just a great thing to say
I know a certain blogger who definitely doesn’t share that policy with Topher’s rep. I’m talking about Perez Hilton, obviously.
If I hear one more person say that running a country is like running a business, my brain is going to go into a full meltdown. It is not like that. Not at all. And if you don’t understand why, then you were born with a heart three sizes too small.
And even if it were (and I can’t emphasize enough that it ISN’T), would you want your country’s CEO (barf, basic misunderstanding of civics) to have filed for bankruptcy 3 times (or more, depending on how you count)?
I dunno, if it were (and it most certainly is not), then the country would have probably filed for bankruptcy a few times too! So who would be the perfect person to run the fictional business/country than a guy who could put together a gimmicky, low-stakes, interesting-in-the-first-couple-seasons-only reality show and save us from the growing debt?!
Nope, nope, still don’t want Trump for president of that country either.
Mayim Bialik is waiting to hear Donald Trump’s stance on awesome hats
Joey Lawrence doesn’t know about the future, that’s anybody’s guess. But Monsters, that ain’t no good reason for getting all depressed. *
*This is just my opinionation.
Q: How many people does it take to reestablish Joey Lawrence’s career?
A: Six
Six! I knew it was a character from Blossom, but I couldn’t find the Joey Russo button.
I’m interested in what the rest of the voice cast of “Oliver & Company” has to say.
As a drunk with a penchant for younger women he has Billy Joel’s vote
My boyfriend thinks the same as me. He is 12 years older. lol! We both enjoy voting for crazy racists because the United States Government is definitely exactly like a business. I will not give any examples because the metaphor is so obvious.
At the risk of saying this to a whole bunch of nerds (AKA you guys), is Donald Trump really that big of a problem? I mean, Donald Trump has been around pretty much forever. He is like the world’s second oldest guy (behind Gabe). And sure, it’s mean to knock someone down and fart on their head or whatever just because they’re poorer or blacker than you. But it also kind of gets you ready for life, you know? The world is always going to be there to knock you down and fart on your head, and that’s a lesson that needs to be learned from an early age. It is bad to be the Donald, but when asshole CEOs get older, most of them STOP being asshole CEOs and start being drunk grandfathers. And those who continue being asshole CEOs, they usually end up in office, because the Donald as an adult becomes a frighteningly well-received political candidate. But overall, I don’t think the whole issue is one to get worked up over compared to, say, The Apprentice or something.
I see what you did to there.
I’m still confused how so many people think he’s a good businessman what with the whole multiple bankruptcy thing
Well, it’s like when a kid is learning to ride a bike. She has to fall sometimes, otherwise she’s not really trying, right? You have to take some risks, not be afraid to fall down once, or twice, or even three times…
Oh, what’s that you say? It’s nothing like a child falling off a bike and instead is like a grown man driving businesses into the ground and risking the financial futures of thousands of employees and entire segments of the economy?
Oh. Well. Hmm.
Every great President should be familiar with business disasters. It’s called the “W Principle” and is a well-established science fact.
“Since I’ll never win one, I think I’ll slowly turn myself into a Living Academy Award.” –Joey Lawrence
I think we have our first contestant for the fall season of Celebrity Apprentice.
This is absolutely performance art. Without a doubt. Because if there’s one thing Joey Lawrence is known for, it’s his performance art.
#donaldtrumpisabellend
(CLARIFICATION: I don’t use or care about twitter, but Charlie Brooker told me it is important for people to get this trending (?) so I am giving support the only way I know how, over Videogum)
I teach political science at the college level. When I want to reference important opinions, Joey Lawrence is usually the first one I check before teaching class.
fuck yeah it is.
I think I’m an interesting character. I’m an amazing checkers player, this is a game. This is a game, being an NFL linebacker is a game.
I hope you know that now, not only is Jerry Jones going to draft you in round 2, he’s going to trade UP to get you.
Wait, how is Donald Trump racist? #nottrolling #genuinelyconfused
Um, he felt the need to call for the “legitimate” birth certificate of a president who just happened to be black when it was never an issue for 43 previous presidents who just happened to be white?
#notreallysure #takingastabattit
He’s a birther. That whole movement is pretty racist.
I think it’s kind of presumptuous to call it racist. It’s ridiculous and ignorant to think that he WASN’T born in America, yes. But that doesn’t necessarily mean people are saying that because of the color of his skin. Some birthers probably ARE racist, but there are a million reasons for ignorance, I don’t think it’s fair to attach it to racism.
I don’t think it’s always consciously racist, but there is definitely a racist or xenophobic element to it. As waitingforguffman said, it was never an issue until we had a serious African-American contender. For chrissakes, John McCain was born in fucking Panama and no one gave a shit. Granted, it was on a naval base, but you’d think if race really wasn’t a factor that people would have raised a much bigger stink about that.
As it happens, many people (racists) can’t psychologically accept that a perceived Other holds the highest office in the land, so they tell themselves, “He CAN’T be one of us.”
See also: “Let’s take our country back.”
Also, the birthers are usually the same ones claiming Obama is a “secret Muslim” or whatever BS – the implication being that that would be a very bad thing. Seriously racist, xenophobic fucks.
I can’t add much to That One’s eloquent response. i will say that I don’t think Trump is racist. I think he picked an issue that he knew would get him press for his TV show. “Is Donald Trump running for President? He can’t announce until after the season finale of Celebrity Apprentice™” I don’t know if that makes it better or worse. Worse, probably.
Also, as soon as they did get the birth certificate, the birthers IMMEDIATELY moved on to other “issues” like Trump going into “How did he get into Harvard? I have rich friends with smart kids that couldn’t get into Harvard!” He basically was just one step away from going “Cough*AffirmitiveAction*Cough*. Or that he couldn’t have possibly written those books on his own. He’s basically accusing the President of either being illeterate or barely literate. He didn’t say those things, that would get him fired from NBC amongst other things. But he can imply them heavily.
The whole thing comes down to “How could HE become president?” They may not be able to put their finger on it, but they see him as “other”. They want “their” america back. Because things were better in the past … if you were white and christian and not an immigrant or the child of one.
I agree that it is definitely xenophobia, but it’s a very complicated issue deciding how racist it is.
On the other hand, is there such a thing as just a little racism? I mean, I would rather not be able to get a cab than be murdered, but any racism = racism. It’s not a racism vs. racism-racism.

Well damn. ignore my previous comment.
Although remember the first season of the Apprentice? Trump was in love with Kwame. I mean like seriously infatuated. Not to say he’s not using race now to his political advantage, which I guess brings it back to regular old racism.
According to an academic definition of racism that I learned in college. A racist is anyone benefiting from the general system of racism, whether or not they are conscious of it. So if you are a privileged white person, you are inherently racist. This will not be a popular comment, but I didn’t come up with that definition.

He goes by Joseph Lawrence. Show some respect for a legend.
Mr. Richard Schroeder concurs.
somebody make this relevant
Joey Lawrence keeps touching our butt by saying stupid things, and we jump away from him
Joey Lawrence went to kiss Trump’s ass, but OOPS it was really his head. Silly Joey has a mouth full of old-man wig! Lolz
To get srsgum for a moment, every businessman who has ever tried their hand in politics (with the exception of Bloomberg, maybe) has either totally underestimated the intricacies of the political system or have outright failed.
Ok…back to Blossom jokes.
trump is a businessman, but more just a celebrity. intricacy shmintricacy. ronald reagan, sonny bono, arnold schwarzenegger, jesse ventura, the dickwad from the real world that said he was on a budget on $170k…
and Al Franken…
Can we just talk about what a disgusting, horrible waste of human life Donald Trump is please?
You forgot about the powerful Meat Loaf lobby (which I’m pretty sure consists of my mother and her two Bat Out of Hell albums).
I have no idea who Joey Lawrence is, but judging by that picture…something to do with pecs?
Jersey Shore would be a safe assumption as well.
