Trump has dropped many such payloads through the first seven months of his campaign....And so, to make life a little easier for the attack dogs of the GOP Establishment, we've assembled the Collected Truth Bombs of Donald J. Trump. Climb into your bunker and hear them roar!

*George W. Bush did not keep us safe.

*The world would be safer if Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gadhafi were still in power.

*If we topple Bashar al-Assad, he could be replaced by something worse.

*NAFTA hurt blue-collar workers.

*Hedge-fund managers can afford to pay more taxes.

*Bill Kristol is terrible at predicting things.

*Donors give money to buy influence.

*George W. Bush sold out seniors to drug companies.

*The Wall Street Journal editorial board does not know what it's talking about.

This is an anti-Trump article where they are forced to admit that Trump tells the uncomfortable un-PC truth. I know it is a hit piece in its way but a fun read.

Seriously? It's meant to be a hit piece? If that's their list, they are seriously out of touch.

Trump should make a campaign ad out of that list!

Looks like they screwed up and printed something Trump's campaign sent them.

That, or they sent the reference material to be published instead of the article by mistake.

Enough with the welcomes and the noon stuff - I have been on here since August already and I hold college degrees (a couple of them!) I am not a kid playing a video game for the first time to be called a noob (though I am a noob at Fallout - I love that game).

Trump tweeted out a fabulously grotesque fact-checkable lie this morning, telling us to “google” that FOX was owned by the Saudis.

It was so ridiculous.

I tweeted that it was a lie and also a stupid Photoshop. I appreciated being “liked” by Drudge for that.

It used to be that Newt Gingrich was the bomb-thrower, back in the early part of the Clinton Interregnum, and it was highly effective in finally forcing Slick into doing the right thing (only after all else failed).

Now The Donald has taken on the role of “bomb-thrower”, and he happens to be highly effective at it. Most of his effort has been directed at destroying the myths of Political Correctness, and for that alone, he has gotten a YUUUUGE affirmation from the American people, one that transcends party lines and most ideologies.

The Donald has chosen his enemies well.

Fox is partially owned by Saudis.

Remember Brian Bozell - the anti Trump guy? I think he owns or works for AIM and they said:

Saudi Billionaire Boasts of Manipulating Fox News Coverage Accuracy In Media — December 7, 2005 WASHINGTON—Accuracy in Media (AIM) is urging a full inquiry into a report that a Saudi billionaire caused the Fox News Channel (FNC) to dramatically alter its coverage of the Muslim riots in France after he called the network to complain. The Saudi billionaire, Al-waleed bin Talal, is a friend of News Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch and controls an influential number of voting shares in the company.

funny. When I said a few months back that the invasion of Iraq was a fiasco I was torn to pieces. 80% of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. but Bush was so in bed with the Saudi Arabians, I’m surprised he didn’t have their children

That’s funny. Donald’s friends are, apparently, Pelosi, Reid, and especially Schumer.

His poignant “bomb-throwing” consists of juvenile insults, character defamation that backfires, names I don’t let my third-grade son use, and fake photoshops with easily fact-checkable lies. Classy.

But hey, if that floats your boat, fine. But don’t compare him to Newt, who did none of those things.

Ahhh, there it is.

Fake but accurate!

Please.

That article is from 2005, a decade ago, which was when Trump was an all-out liberal and has since had a Road-to-Damascus moment.

Double standards much?

"and controls an influential number of voting shares in the company."

Why Drudge liked my tweet, fact-checking Trump, the bloviating liar.

Saudi 1%

The worst excesses by and the infighting among the crony capitalists are always carefully hidden behind something that can be sold to the public as patriotic and preferably, as a victory.

Isn’t it exciting that Trump inspires people to get involved?!

Where are all the NEW Cruz supporters?

Regardless of your sign up date, which is proven to be unreliable in determining one’s intellect, this poster has as much a right to voice his opinion as you do. Deal with it.
