Trump in Chicago: Says he’s ‘100 percent correct’ about Mexicans, blasts U.S. as ‘laughingstock’
The Chicago Sun-Times / The Associated Press ^ | June 29, 2015 | Sandra Guy and Bill Zwecker, AP

Donald Trump brought his in-your-face presidential campaign to Chicago audience on Monday, declaring that if is he is elected, he would make America “rich,” stop illegal immigration and “knock out” federal health-care reform that the U.S. Supreme Court last week ruled the law of the land.

And even as NBC became the latest network to sever its ties to Trump after he characterized Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals, Trump insisted he had nothing to apologize for, saying his remarks were “100 percent correct.”(continued)

The dude has not had time-some three lawsuits, interviews and speeches. He just got boycotted by Lebanese magnate Carlos Slim too.

Make excuses all you want for him. If I were running for President, and this hot-button Social Issue came-up effectively redefining Marriage, and I lived in NY City, the last thing I would do is sit on my hands where this issue is concerned.

Maybe one or more key Trump Organization employees (or close family members of same) are homosexuals, and would quit and speak against him if he spoke harshly.

Maybe, but are you advocating that is a good reason to keep quiet on this issue?

I'm suggesting a possible reason.

Maybe I should have put a

after it to show that I wasn't advocating anything.

The Tapper interview was BEFORE the SCOTUS interview.

Since that time nary a peep from "The Donald".

Liberal politicians shouldn’t be in charge of other people’s money.

Trump is absolutely correct. Can even Mexico say that “their best” is what is coming over into the US, illegally?

Trump, give them heck!

Trumpy is exactly right on this subject, but that’s what will make him unelectable.

The communists on CNN are terrified of this guy.

A couple of black marxist propagandists on one of their shows tonight basically said that Trump, the Republicans, and anybody who doesn’t denounce him are racists in need an attitude adjustment.

They are really busy twisting the knife into the back of law abiding normal American taxpayers.

Trump will crucify the likes of Jeb Bush, comes right out and says he doesn’t respect him.

For that reason alone is a Godsend.

““I’ve been dealing with politicians all my life. They are all talk, no action,” Trump said. “Never going to get done. They’re controlled by the lobbyists, they’re controlled by donors, and they’re controlled by special interests. When I tell somebody to do something, I’m not going to get a lobbyist calling me the next day to say, ‘Please don’t do that even though it’s good for America.’”

Specifically, he got asked about Jeb Bush. Not a big fan. “The last thing we need is another Bush,” Trump said.

He doesn’t seem to think much of Jeb’s brother, George W., either. During the interview, Trump said, “I would be willing to bet I would have a great relationship with [Russian President] Vladimir Putin. It’s about leadership.” O’Reilly responded with, “You sound like George W. Bush when he looked into [Putin’s] soul and said he was a good guy.” Trump snarked, “Bush didn’t have the IQ.”

In the last days of the western Roman empire, the barbarian invaders used the word “Roman” as a term of contempt, according to Gibbon.

Citation? ... Just for my own curiosity!

He is RIGHT!!!

We are a laughing stock. An entire country that committed suicide at the hands of children and a black manchurian candidate elected twice.

Even mexico has a debt to GDP that is ONE-HALF of that of the US!

Any number of countries now have more personal and economic freedom than we do.

Trump is a showman.

Cruz is a politician.

Differences...

Just like Trump said, the US is a dumping ground for all the world’s trash and trouble.

Well, what was Jackson? OK, a war hero, but still ...

I can't let go of National Lampoon's Radio Dinner ... "Anything but Nixon ... a blender ... anything"

Lesson learned.

I'm ready for Trump.

When is Trump going to stop ducking the Unconstitutional Gay Marriage ruling by SCOTUS?

Cut the guy a break. He's been busy with more important things like having spats with foreign network executives, making their private telephone numbers public and kicking their employees off his golf course. Priorities, priorities.

Every day Trump takes another unapologetic stand on an issue that resonates with a segment of society.

They are so astonished to see someone saying what they think needs saying that they are thereafter willing to overlook his faults in other areas.

Thus is he building a large base of supporters. It’s a snowball effect... if he can keep it up he will become unstoppable.

He could end up with the Reagan Democrats and every disgruntled GOP voter who despises the GOPe [a big group]
