Caitlyn Jenner’s reply to her political {qualifications} sounds lots like Donald Trump’s

On May 11, 2021

The election of Donald Trump in 2016 changed politics forever and it did so in many different ways. One of the more unfortunate consequences is that “everyone” now believes they can run for high office without qualification.

This is certainly the case with Caitlyn Jenner. She is of course known as the parent of two of the most famous models in the world. She was also one of the greatest female athletes of the 20th century.

However, Jenner is running for California governor and has no political experience. During a Monday interview with CNN, Dana Bash asked the candidate about her qualifications.

“People think you are in show business, they think of you as a reality star,” she replied. “Of course I did, but entertainment is a business and you have to run that business. But I’ve done other things too. We sold $ 1 billion worth of exercise equipment on television. Air carrier. I’ve just always been involved in being an entrepreneur and trying to inspire my kids to do the same, and they’ve done really well in this department and all of those life experiences – and probably the most important thing to do is to be an executive be . ”

California recall candidate Caitlyn Jenner tells CNN's Dana Bash that "probably the most important thing is being a leader" and adds she plans to surround herself "with some really great people." https://t.co/pTKQLpOzBv pic.twitter.com/aPntPJ16qy

When Bash reminded Jenner that California has the fifth largest economy in the world, the candidate replied, “Yes (I’m prepared) because I’m going to surround myself with some really great people. “

So basically Jenner relies entirely on the Donald Trump model. Use the notoriety to get elected, then let others rule the government. Unfortunately for Trump and America, the 45th President surrounded himself with some of the worst people.
