Donald Trump
is probably not as excited as we are about the news that Spy Magazine has been
digitized and put on line for all to read — and for free mind you. But if we
had been repeatedly pummeled by the printed Daily Show precursor like the
Donald had, we might not want it back in the collective consciousness.
Still if
Trump we’re able to put his ego aside for a moment, the potential Presidential
candidate might want to surface this Spy piece on page 49 of the
January-February 1988 issue called “Nation to Trump: We Need You.” There the
satirical mag said, “We have come to believe that a Donald Trump candidacy is
viable… One in 25 Americans wishes Donald Trump were running for president.”
Always one
to give the real estate mogul a dig, they continued, “Not too many of those, we
like to think, said that just so they could pull up chairs to hoot and hiss.”
This time
capsule of retro pop culture happens to mention the “It Bad Boy” of the moment,
Charlie Sheen just 13 pages earlier – laying out the Sheen family tree and
calling brother Ramon “soon-to-be-major.” Hopefully for Trump’s sake their seer
was more accurate about politics than acting.
