Sometimes celebrities in political offices do good things while they are there. Sometimes they have very successful terms and set great examples for future political hopefuls. Sometimes, these things happen-but not very often.This week saw two "celebrities" declare their intent to run for office: Bristol Palin and Donald Trump.

On Thursday, Palin told E! News that she would "probably" follow in her mother's footsteps and become involved in politics "further down the line."

"If I saw something that needed to be changed, then I would step up to the plate and do something about it," she said. A source told Pop Eater, "Bristol has a new sense of confidence since she did Dancing With the Stars. She has seen her mother's success and believes Washington should have more regular people like her in office making decisions for the country, rather than the elite that currently run D.C." The insider added, "Bristol doesn't have a strong political résumé, but that's what will make her a great congresswoman, or even president!"

Yes, Bristol, of course! How silly of us to have highly educated people running the country. Let's call up the cast of Jersey Shore, too-I'm sure they have great ideas for the future of America!

While it seems unlikely that Bristol could actually get into office-though who knows, her mother got elected-Donald Trump, who has recently been quoted expressing interest in running for president, might actually stand a chance. Appearing on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight, Trump said that he worries about how the United States is faring in the eyes of the world.

"I am seriously thinking about [running for President]. I won't make a decision till June," he said. "But I will make a decision . sometime prior to June. I love this country." He added, "I hate what's happened to this country. We're a laughingstock throughout the world. We're not respected."

Trump, who made his fortune in real estate and his reputation in reality television, has said that, if elected to the presidency, he would re-evaluate U.S. foreign policy to tax Chinese products. "The first thing I would do is announce very strongly that we're going to tax Chinese products-25-percent tax on all Chinese products. They will come to the table immediately and stop manipulating their currency, which is what they're doing," he said.

Between Trump's foreign policy and Palin's abstinence-only education plans, I'm not sure which presidential hopeful is worse. Maybe we should have a reality show about it? At least that would get people to vote!
