Donald Trump may be battling Scott Walker and Jeb Bush in the polls, but try telling that to The Huffington Post.
The highly-trafficked website has taken a stand against the Republican hopeful, writing online today that it will no longer categories any of his speeches or action as falling with the ream of "Politics."
Instead, HuffPo editors see Trump more along the lines of Kim Kardashian and company.
"After watching and listening to Donald Trump since he announced his candidacy for president, we have decided we won’t report on Trump’s campaign as part of The Huffington Post’s political coverage," the site wrote.
"Instead, we will cover his campaign as part of our Entertainment section. Our reason is simple: Trump’s campaign is a sideshow. We won’t take the bait.
If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you’ll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette."
This, of course, is both true and false.
Trump has said some inane, false, inflammatory things; most notably when he referred to most Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug users.
But a recently Fox News poll also have him leading the Republican field for President.
So, for the time being, at least some people are (astoundingly) taking the real state mogul seriously.
How does Trump feel about this website slight? He responded in a surprisingly simple statement, saying in response to the decision:
"The only clown show in this scenario is the Huffington Post pretending to be a legitimate news source."
Where do you stand on Donald Trump? Legitimate political candidate… or pure entertainment fodder?
