Donald Trump. He's everywhere right now, and a year before the 2016 election he's killing his Republican competitors for the upcoming nomination. Even though we've been dealing with him for 30 years, most Americans and the rest of the world are sort of in shock that we're here.
Yes, he's outrageous. You never know what he's going to say. But we've been down this road before.
Just a few short years ago, actor/addict/porn star afficionado Charlie Sheen was all over the news with HIS outrageous comments. Not unlike Trump, we couldn't get enough of him.
They're bold. They're brash. For better or for worse, they're America.
You might think that these two men could not have less in common. But you would be wrong.
Get out a pencil and paper. Take the quiz. For each question, who said it?
Sheen or Trump?
ESPECIALLY if you're a Trump fan. I dare you.
