With the recent announcement that the famed Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus is folding the tent this May, archivists with the 3-ring touring show have happened upon a shocking discovery: The Donald once performed as a clown with the show.

"The Great Donzo", as he was known, joined the traveling show for the 1968 season, during its run at Madison Square Garden. Donzo didn't have any formal training, as Clown College had not yet been founded. However, several of his fellow performers remarked that he had a style that was uniquely his. "Buzzy" Adcock, who also performed for the Greatest Show on Earth, that year, said that Donzo had "an absurdist style. It was almost unbelievable what we would come up with next. He was always surprising us."

"He kept to himself, a lot. Kind of a loner. But, I will say, he had great confidence in his clowning abilities. He was probably the greatest, funniest clown that ever lived - and I'm not the only one who said that, at the time. It was on his resume."

Even though his time on the show was brief (he either quit or was replaced after serving less than his 4 year contract), the circus had a big impact on his life. He seemed particularly intrigued by the trapeze and the human cannonball acts. He was often found asking them if they thought they could clear barriers of more than 40 feet high.

Trump doesn't like talking about his time with the circus. When pressed at a rally in Racine, Wisconsin, then-candidate Trump spoke dismissively. "I was going through an experimental phase, rebelling against my upbringing. I'm finding politics much more satisfying and evolving. After all, there is an American voter born every minute!"

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
