Donald Trump is more than just a spoiled rich bully who has no boundaries, he has become a pop culture parody of a politician.

Donald Trump Escalates Feud With 'Idiot' Lindsey Graham In South Carolina
The real estate mogul gave the senator's personal cell phone number to supporters.

WASHINGTON -- Real estate mogul Donald Trump took his feud with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to new heights on Tuesday by hurling insults at the senator in his home state of South Carolina and giving out his personal cell phone number to the public.
Addressing supporters at a campaign rally in Bluffton, Trump recalled hearing Graham call him a "jackass" for questioning Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) status as a war hero.
"I watched this idiot Lindsey Graham on television today and he calls me a jackass!" Trump remarked.
"I said to myself, it's amazing, he doesn't seem like a very bright guy. He doesn't seem as bright as Rick Perry. I think Rick Perry is probably smarter than Lindsey Graham."
Then, Trump upped the ante. He claimed that Graham previously phoned him for a Fox News reference and for campaign contributions. The celebrity hotelier, who is currently at the front of the pack in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, recited Graham's personal cell phone number and encouraged supporters to dial it.
"I don’t know, give it a shot," he said.
"I don’t know, give it a shot,"??? I'm stunned. Has the Kardashishification of American Politics arrived? Is it irreversible? I always thought of Reagan and Dubya Bush as more like
Spokes-models for the privileged elites than thoughtful visionary leaders. Donald Trump cuts out the
Spokes-models and auditions for the role of POTUS as a media savvy member of the privileged elite. Has our political culture been so comodified by the influence of Big Money that it can merge with our pop media culture?
