Donald Trump says it’s not all about him. No, seriously.
Campaigning in Nashville, Tennessee, Trump on Saturday paid homage to his supporters — claiming they are a part of “a movement” and using colorful language to beg for their support.
“This is a movement,” said Trump, who often speaks about himself in campaign appearances. “I don’t want it to be about me. This is about common sense. It’s about doing the right thing.”
Trump also paid tribute to his setting, a country music hotbed, and insisted there needed to be a greater emphasis on "law and order." And, as has become customary, he took shots at Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor who is a rival for the Republican nomination.

I am 71 and I have never seen anything like it.
As a senior I always appreciate a good bowel movement.
So, Trump admits the special laxatives formulated by a team of New York doctors finally seeing him get relief.I’m happy for him.
The thing about this election cycle that will be most noteworthy is that Donald Trump will be sworn in and walk into the White House, he will have done it without the help of FreeRepublic.
Off topic, but can someone answer this:
In order to become a naturalized American citizen, you must be able to read and write English...
In order to vote in American elections, you must be an American citizen.....
Why do they print ballots in English AND Spanish????
Trump is rising not because he is a superlative human being. He is rising because Americans are fed up to their eye balls over losing on so many issues.
1) screwed by China, Japan, Mexico, Japan
2) Liberal legislators increasing the height of welfare pyramid every year
3) More businesses closing than opening new ones
4) invasion of violent illegals
5) middle class losing ground while super rich getting richer. Hedge fund managers paying less tax rates than ordinary middles class jobs such as teachers & firefighters,
6) infra-structure looking like a 3rd world country
7) wounded veterans receiving sub-standard healthcare,
8) loss of American military power & prestige
9) Obamacare is a disaster, healthcare premiums and deductibles are higher
10) phony MAN-MADE global warming want higher tax on all carbon based fuels
11) H1-B visa explosion taking jobs from American citizens
12) legal immigrants getting social security without contributing a dime in taxes
You ask too many difficult questions! Don’t you like to help and welcome illegal aliens who can’t speak English?
It isn’t about Trump, the man. It is about Trump, the instrument.
A friend and I have talked about these things for a very long time. It is way past time for action. There is little difference in the 2 parties.
TBD if its real or a BM. worried its just hot air. hopefully it is more.
I am 67 years old...A Vietnam vet, and I am tired of the direction my country is going...I have noticed over the last three elections especially that Spanish ballots are readily available and I just wondered why, knowing what the requirement for citizenship is...I went so far as to check the requirements to make sure I was right...
Thank you for serving. One of my high school friends was a helicopter pilot. He was shot down but lived long enough to go down nose first. He died but the others lived. RIP, Mike. You are missed.
Exactly right.
Eat 2 prunes with yogurt every day and all your movements will be easier lol.
I was gonna say I had a movement this morning. I named it Obama, flushed the toilet handle and sent it on its way.
Thank you, MamaB...I salute your friend...
When I received mu US citizenship, they did test my English and wanted me to learn US constitution. But that was back in 1970. I am sure things are more lax now.
Recently I looked into requirements to immigrate to New Zealand. Every immigrant to NZ must pass written English test administered by gov’t of NZ. And there are other very stringent requirements.
Donald Trump is the enema the Republican Party needs! And, to a lesser degree, Democrats as well.
He is shaking the Republicrat establishment up, and rousing the American “Silent Majority” like no other prominent politician has done since Ronald Reagan.
There were roughly 100,000,000 otherwise eligible American citizens who did not vote in 2012, for many different reasons.
Those are the voters that need to be energized to get off their asses and vote in 2016.
Trump seems to be speaking to and energizing them.
This is exciting! Please pass the popcorn!
I am thoroughly enjoying the HUGE discomfort Trump is causing the “Inside the Evil Beltway Establishment Poobahs!
Bravo Zulu! Donald! Keep up the GREAT work!
That’s a great thought!
When Trump gets around to talking about voter fraud, and he will, this is something he needs to say!
That simple statement would resonate with the electorate.
Well done Boonie!
