Since Trump is a celebrity and had a TV show I was thinking about what other celebrities I would like to see him up against. For me I think it would be fun to see Trump vs Jon Stewart. Predictably, others would be Bill Marher, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
Bill Maher is too divisive. I agree with him on many things, but he doesn't need to make fun of religious people. To each his own on that as long as they aren't being overly rude or violent, and most religious people aren't those things.
Jon Stewart would be interesting, but he's not the best of the group you mentioned, and since most of his opinions came from his Daily Show, it is hard to know for sure what he believes and what was just for show ratings. Also, during the stock market crash, I felt he was unfair to Jim Cramer. Cramer accepted responsibility where he had failed but called Stewart on areas where he felt he was being unfair. It's not just rich people who do invest and should invest in the stock market, and no one said it would only go up. Stewart was wrong with that opinion.
Ben Affleck is a mess. Alcoholic and has anger issues. He may be successful at turning his life around, but he's not Presidential material.
Matt Damon is the smartest of the bunch and the most level-headed. I'm not geeked about voting for a celebrity as I don't fall victim to celebrity fandom like most people do, but if I HAD to vote for a celebrity, from what I know now, it would be Matt Damon, even if you hadn't had a list. Unlike may celebrities who think they are smart or try to act like they are, Damon is actually a brilliant guy.
