This has got to be one of the greatest lines ever in the history of politics and/or television. In fact, in the history of the universe there’s less than a micro milli-chance that the phrase, “Meatloaf should I run for President” could ever come up. But it did.
It’s almost like God planned everything so that this moment of absolute improbable inanity could happen just to remind us how stupid we really are. The biggest egomaniac in the world asked Meatloaf, who just weeks before attacked Gary Busey, if he should run for President. Awesome.
Now, if everything else doesn’t disqualify Donald Trump from the Presidency then this should, right? If you have any sanity or reason in you, you know that in your heart you should never elect a man to be the leader of the free world who ever said anything remotely close to, “Meatloaf, should I run for President?”
And mind you this is coming from a guy who actually owns every single one of Meatloaf’s cd’s. Every single one. And they’re all awesome. I can sing along with “Give Me the Future with a Modern Girl.” Oh yeah, I just admitted that.
Here’s the deal -if I wrote a power ballad I might say, “Hey Meat, what do you think of this?” But if I were deciding whether or not to run for President, I wouldn’t ask Meatloaf. No. No way. That’s not his wheelhouse.
And I wouldn’t ask Trump either.

Oh, this was so funny my sides hurt…
Trump, Meatloaf, whatever. I'll just vote for anyone or anything who isn't Obama. At this point, I would pledge my life, fortune and sacred honor to an ACTUAL meatloaf.

I can't stop laughing! Meatloaf, what college should my children attend? Meatloaf, what do you think of my retirement plan? Meatloaf, should we upgrade our internet speed? Could this be the start of Chuck Norris-esque viral lists of Meatloaf "should I" questions?

Potential candidates in the rear view mirror may appear more intelligent than they are.

We're all meatloafs now.

CredoCatholic,
Meatloaf could be the next Magic 8 ball but instead, Meatloaf always says absolutely in that slightly hysterical desperate for approval way that he has.
I love it.

Trump wins again! He's got my vote!

I'm going to start manufacturing bracelets with WWMS? What would Meatloaf say?

I think, at the very least, when considering such an important question, he should at least have said, "Mr. Loaf, should I run for President?"

I thought everyone knew that Trump's "run" had to do with ratings, not the Presidency.
Guess I'm wrong, eh?

LOL this is too funny. I just read this after having a cold meatloaf sandwich for lunch. Really. No joke. Just about brought it back up!
(Had lots of ketchup on it – 12 grain bread. MMMMMmmmm… Praise God for meatloaf!)
