The Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton not running for president

Published

on

They have two of the most recognizable names in America, but neither of them is running for president.

Meet Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Clinton runs music festivals across America, and Trump heads up a cancer institute in Virginia.
Their names have always raised some eyebrows, they say, but in an election year, it’s getting them a whole lot more attention.

Hillary Clinton, a fun-loving twenty something from New Orleans, Louisiana, is quick to point out that she was not named after Hillary Rodham Clinton.
“I am from Louisiana, she was the first lady of Arkansas,” Clinton says, referring to when she was born.
Not surprisingly, her Louisiana parents hadn’t heard of the other Hillary Clinton at the time.
Her father, Phillip, not Phil, Clinton, confirmed to us that her name is indeed a coincidence.
Shortly after Hillary Rodham Clinton moved into the White House in 1993, Hillary’s mother wrote to the first lady about her namesake. “How interesting to learn of another Hillary Clinton!” The first lady wrote back, “Perhaps we will meet sometime in the future.”
Name recognition
It wouldn’t be until 1998, when news of the Lewinsky scandal broke, that sharing a name with the first lady would become a problem for Hillary Clinton, a seven-year-old in elementary school at the time.
First Lady Hillary Clinton replied to a letter sent by her namesake's mother in 1993

“I didn’t really understand what the act was that had happened, so the jokes didn’t make sense to me and the attention was not attention I was looking for, so I actually changed my name for a few months,” Clinton explained to CNN, sitting in the middle of Suwannee Hulaween, a music festival she helped organize over the Halloween weekend in Northern Florida.
Part of her job involves liaising with performing artists and their agents.
“My emails sometimes get ignored and I have to send multiple follow-ups. People think I’m part of the campaign or they think it’s spam,” Clinton says.
She’s not kidding.
“I asked my agent if her name was a joke,” one performer from France told CNN at the Suwannee Hulaween festival.
‘Facebook, I want my name back’
Having the name Hillary Clinton on social media isn’t always easy. “I get tagged in so many Hillary Clinton posts,” Clinton says. “Positive and negative memes and photos.”
Her Facebook account has been suspended on multiple occasions, with the social network giant thinking her name a fake. She sent Facebook officials her driver’s license some years ago but her account was again subsequently blocked. Today, in fact, she goes by “Hill Clinton.”
“Facebook, if you’re listening, I want my name back,” she says.
‘Screwed either way’
Clinton says that although she won’t be voting for Trump as she is “scared of him,” she’s torn because she knows sharing a name with a president could be even more troublesome.
“I’m screwed either way. If Hillary Clinton wins, then it’s just going to get worse … for me,” she says.

Dr Donald Trump says he'll be voting for Hillary Clinton

Dr. Donald Trump has been working in the medical field for more than 40 years. He now runs a cancer institute in Virginia and although he says he’ll be voting for Hillary Clinton next Tuesday, he has courted “The Donald” for donations for medical research in the past.
Dr. Trump first became aware of the other Donald Trump in the late 1970s when the businessman began showing up in the New York tabloids.
The pair have interacted sporadically throughout the years.
Going bald
In 2010, Donald J. Trump picked up the phone to ask Dr. Trump for a favor. The son of a close friend of his was hoping to get into a clinical trial at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, where Dr. Trump was working at the time.
“I’m happy to say that neither Mr. Trump nor I had any impact on that decision. That process and the entry of the young man on the clinical trial was well underway when I received the call,” Dr. Trump told CNN during an interview at the Inova Schar Cancer Institute in Virginia, where he now serves as CEO and Executive Director.
Never one to miss an opportunity, Dr. Trump used the contact from Mr. Trump to tell him about some of the work performed at Roswell Park and explained to him that they would soon be holding a “Bald for Bucks” fundraiser.
The Donald politely declined to part with his famous locks, Dr. Trump said, but sent a video message wishing Roswell Park well and made a “generous donation,” Dr. Trump said.
Sometime after the fundraiser, the two Donalds met at Trump Tower in New York. Dr. Trump described Mr. Trump as engaging, and interested in the doctor’s work.
The doctor hinted at Mr. Trump’s braggadocio, but said he wasn’t as flamboyant as he is on the campaign trail. He was “clearly successful and wasn’t unhappy to make sure I knew he was successful,” Dr. Trump said.
Trump not voting Trump
Despite his previous interactions with the Republican nominee for president, Dr. Trump said that his politics have long been left of center and that he plans on voting for Hillary Clinton next Tuesday.
“I have always felt kinship with Democratic political theories and approaches,” he said, being careful not to comment directly on his namesake’s politics.

Nickie Dabarbie calls out Skiibii for attempting to use her for money rituals (Video)

Nickie dabarbie calls out Skiibii for attempting to use her for money rituals

Nigerians have been left in confusion as popular social media influencer Precious Kingsley, popularly known as Nicki dabarbie uploaded a concerning video on her Instagram page.

In the video she posted, Nickie dabarbie was clearly distraught, and she kept on saying that the men in the video wanted to use her for money rituals. The name she kept chanting throughout the video was Skiibii, and she said the whole ‘Mayana’ family was doing money rituals, and that is how they got money to buy cars.

If there was any doubt as to whether it was the singer Skiibii she was referring to, the name ‘Mayana’ is a clear indication that she was referring to him because it is a slogan that he uses a lot.

Although the video wasn’t very clear, if you look closely, you can see that the room she was making the video from was in complete disarray.

There were shards of broken glass all over the floor, and at some point in the video, you could hear one of the men asking her why she’s stepping on broken glass.

One of the men in the video kept on asking ‘which kain highness be this’, thereby insinuating that she was intoxicated. He also asked her to leave and go home, insinuating that she was not in her house in the first place.

Throughout the video, Nickie dabarbie kept on chanting names of girls that were allegedly used for rituals by a man named Skibbi. She said that her ‘head was too strong’, and that is why they were not able to use her for rituals.

One of the men approached Nicki dabarbie with a bottle of water in hand, and she immediately screamed hysterically that he shouldn’t pour the water on her.

The video ended with Nicki dabarbie praying furiously and screaming out her lungs.

Skiibii hasn’t responded to the allegations laid against him by the influencer, and it still isn’t clear whether he was in the video because it was a bit hazy.

This isn’t the first time Nickie dabarbie is being involved in drama, as not too long ago, she was involved in a fight with fellow influencer Cute Gemini.

Their fight got so serious that Nickie dabarbie was arrested and spent a few days in prison. When she got out, her fans hailed her for being strong, while they rained curses on Cute Gemini.

Rihanna, the award-winning Barbadian music star, says she wants to work with Ayra Starr, the Nigerian singer.

The music stars recently met at the Fenty X Puma party in London, where they both exchanged pleasantries.

During the chat, Starr told the ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker that Barbados, Rihanna’s home country, is her “favourite place in the world”.

Oh her part, Rihanna confessed she had only heard of Starr through her cousin’s obsession with her music.

“I have been hearing of Ayra Starr, I did not know who but my cousin she was like, ‘Oh my God I got this from Ayra Starr.’ She was obsessed with you,” she said.

She also inquired if the Nigerian songstress has a project with Tems, her colleague.

Starr confirmed that collaborations are in the works, but none have been released yet.

Rihanna responded by playfully expressing her interest in collaborating with the singer, saying, “You got an extra verse for me? Call me”.

In 2022, Rihanna collaborated with Tems, who contributed to the writing of ‘Lift Me Up’, the celestial ballad for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.

Starr previously expressed her desire to collaborate with Rihanna, describing the US singer as her “queen”.

She added that she loves her music, stating it boosts her confidence.
