1. Barack Obama
Trump said in 2009 that Obama was “a strong guy who knows what he wants,” a person with “the mark of a strong leader,” and “totally a champion.” He even bestowed the greatest Trumpian honor upon Obama, saying, “I would hire him.”
In 2011, while considering making a run for president, he placed himself at the vanguard of the “birther” movement, demanding that Obama show his birth certificate and fueling suspicions that the president was not born in the United States.
2. Hillary Clinton
As has been widely reported, Hillary Clinton attended Trump’s wedding in 2005. Trump also donated to her campaigns in 2002, 2005, 2006, and 2007. In 2007, he called her “very talented,” a “great appointment” for secretary of state, and, in his 1997 book The Art of the Comeback, called her “a wonderful woman who has handled pressure incredibly well.”
This year, he called her “desperate” and “sad.”
3. The Republican Party
From His Book "The America We Deserve"
The Republicans, especially those in Congress, are captives of their right wing. The Democrats are captives of their left wing. I don’t hear anyone speaking for the working men and women in the center. There is very little contact between the concerns and interests of ordinary people and the agendas of politicians. It was my observation of this gap between Americans and their “leaders” that led me to leave the Republican Party and join the Reform Party. The Reform Party carries a lot less baggage than the major parties. It has the opportunity to truly overhaul our political system in service of the American Dream

Rent free.
No more fake than Paul Ryan, Mitch MConnell, John McCain and
many others.
Trump is a liberal. So is the GOP establishment attacking him.
I don’t understand them. He is their dream middle of the road candidate.
In other words, everything they’re not. A concern over ideological purity is the least of their problems.
Trump is bad.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And furthermore, blah blah blah blah blah.
And of course, blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah.
And did I mention, blah blah blah blah blah?
True indeed. We have WAY too many. And therein lies the problem.
Nice try. Not gonna work.
The difference is Trump has no political power.
The other 3 I mentioned do.
Although Trump has held many positions, we do not know how he would
govern, do we.
We do know how Paul Ryan, McConnell, McCain and many others
have governed.
Hey Christopher and Andrew here is Juanita Broaddrick describing Hillary Clinton threatening her 2 weeks after she was raped by Bill Clinton.

Be sure to include in your next politically motivated FUD campaign piece (os).
As long as he doesn’t back off his pledge to build the wall and deport illegal aliens, his support will not diminish, despite the best efforts of The Cheap Labor Express and The Ministry Of Propaganda
“I would hire him.â€.....
Remember Trumps reality show, “The Apprentice”? He fired a lot of people on that show although he had to hire them first. Odumbo fooled a lot of people into thinking he was the greatest thing since sliced bread, it didn’t take very long for that “bread” to grow stale.
I. Do. Not. CARE. That. Trump. Is. Not. Conservative.
The Donald is effectual, and in today’s world, that is VITALLY necessary. He can take the bridge too far, and make the advance stick, as evidenced over and over in the campaign up to now. When the “conventional wisdom” says The Donald has “stepped in it for sure this time”, the actual outcome is that his poll numbers have RISEN, and those who attacked him are knocked flat as a cookie.
“Go along to get along” is just not The Donald’s style, when he sees something over there he wants. He can and he has trampled over lesser personalities to gain his objectives, but then he goes back (except in the instance of Rosie O’Donnell) and tells them that a good job they are now doing, as they have just has a tremendous learning experience, and have profited in some way from that experience. Enemies do not necessarily stay his enemies forever, but it is largely up to those adversaries to come and seek forgiveness from The Donald, not the other way around. He rarely if ever apologizes, but when events prove his judgment and assessment of the situation most nearly approximate reality, he really has little or no need to apologize.
How could a truly conservative person “that will make America great again” be fooled by Obama.
trump is more conservative on the issue of immigration, by far the most important issue in America today, than even Ted Cruz.
And he is also the ANTI-PC candidate.
that is why he is doing well.
That is true. He just doesn't want what is good for America, that's all.
Ouch.
Trump sure beats a stealth establishment candidate that constantly begs for cash.
He was in good company he was just reflecting the superficial judgement of the time and I say that without rancor since now he has taken the true measure of the guy. He was glad handing the Obama at the time, fairly meaningless and he’s not afraid to tell Obama that he should be fired either now that the data is in.
I would much rather give him a shot based on his business successes than any politician that has walked the halls of DC in recent memory. Let him close the borders, reform the flood of immigrants legal and otherwise, roll back Obamacare and the overweening bureaucracy strengthen our military and care for the veterans and and we can talk about the purity of his conservative stance when that’s done.
Wasn’t Reagan a Democrat once?
Trump 2016!
And Reagan was a democrat until the democrat party left him. Sinatra campaigned hard for Kennedy until Bobby pissed on him and Sinatra campaigned harder for Nixon and Reagan.
Trump is not perfect but I doubt he is fake in what he is saying now. I doubt he is fake because why would anyone set themselves up for the wrath of both the left and the GOPe as he has done?
