Trump: The Last Time America Was Great Was During the Reagan Administration [VIDEO]
Daily Caller ^ | 08/16/2015 | Steve Guest

Posted on 08/16/2015 2:19:24 PM PDT by nhwingut

Donald Trump says the last time America was great was “during the administration of Ronald Reagan.”

Donald Trump was on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday and told Chuck Todd that it was during the Reagan Administration, “you felt really proud. I don’t think since then to any great extent, people were proud.”

Your linked (via FR) article gives credit, h/t, to TP, and uses TP’s image (same one posted up thread)....

Same image as TP, same image that’s all over the Twitter Trump hit pieces, today. Just saying.

We get that y’all don’t support Trump...but posting this out of context drivel is rock bottom level. Karl Rove and ¡Jeb! thank you :)

First of all, I don’t know if there’s 40 million illegal leftist voters in this country. There may be, there may not be. I am certainly convinced there’s enough to be a problem, whether it’s 40 million or whether it’s 8 million who actually vote.

You want to deport them? That’s fine. I don’t have a problem with that. I probably want to see all or as close to all of them as possible deported as well.

But again you’re banking on a guy doing that who talks out of both sides of his mouth on this at times- telling Dana Bash, “they do jobs Americans don’t want to do” and telling Bill O’Reilly “we have to give them a path to succeed.”

So which Donald am I supposed to buy into here? Do I buy the one who says, “No illegals period.” Okay, that’s great, and maybe he does it. But then what if he starts thinking, “Well gee, now there’s no one to pick the grapes.”?

For me it’s more than just illegals who drive this country left. I mean, this is the guy who said we have to try Obama’s stimulus. This is the guy who said, “Yeah, we need to bail out the auto companies because they make great products.” This is a guy who I think at this point is almost completely clueless about the constitutional role of government, government in the free market, and a guy who thinks the Canadian healthcare system works great. That’s still scary to me that this guy is running for president.

I’ll grant you he knows how to make money a lot better than I do... and most other people.

Jane, stop acting stupid.

Do you see any complaining on the old thread about the source (which WAS Townhall)?

The only reason you want it to call it out of context is because it interrupts your praise session.

I don’t give a crap about Rove or Jeb, as I don’t support liberals...and that includes Trump.

Hold it, Catherine.

Let’s see....you’ve now told me to apologize AND to stop acting stupid. Who the he## are you?

Look at yourself, if you want to see who’s acting in a particular way.

Back off.

I told you to stop acting stupid because that’s what you’re doing....trying to paint an article from Townhall that’s been previously posted on FR as some kind of lefty stunt.

If you don’t like being called on that, then get a grip and stop doing it.

Otherwise I WILL call you on the dishonesty.

Trump is the only one that is saying that he will deport all illegals.

Since Trump is the only one saying this the correct solution to saving America then Trump is the only chance and only choice. And we are in big trouble because of immigrants legal and illegals

You are saying Trump is a liar and lying. A guy who has made so many deals in business wouldn't have made it being a liar. There is no record of him being a liar . He is not

It's just a numbers game , immigrants vote like liberals/leftists and will turn the USA into a socialist tragical oppressive state.You do realize that the socialists will take all of your property assets etc.?

Dear Catherine,

You and I have had our last posts to each other. You mention acting stupid, dishonesty and lefty stunts, in your last post to me.

We will have to agree to disagree on your remarks...as that is what I now see in you.

No need to further post/ping to me.

FReegards,

Jane

"I think the pod people have snatched our Catherine. This COA doesn’t look, smell or feel right."

Why? Because I'm supporting a conservative instead of a Democrat? Dude. Maybe you ought to turn that one around.

Thanks for the courtesy ping, btw.

Got to hand it to Trump in the self confidence department.

And it would be wonderful if he could spearhead a solution to this slow leak, leak that virtually no politician wants to take like a bull by the horns.

My answer to this is to pray for God to give wisdom to Trump, and for Trump to be willing to receive it. He is used to pressing hard and will certainly energetically seek a way.

Not being an enemy of immigration per se. But it is ridiculous not to impose some kind of meaningful order, some sane prioritization, some tangible accountability, upon it. Too many people’s idea of humanitarian crisis is “not being able to soak American welfare programs.”

I have stopped watching Fox. It's unbearable. MK’s question to DT about Rosie O'Donnell and pigs when we are facing a National Debt of $20 Trillion, the highest corporate tax rate in the world, the lowest labor force participation rate in decades, etc. and that dumb blond asks THAT question? Please. Then have to listen to self congratulating so called “conservative” pundits like Will and Krauthammer tear into Trump when “their” candidates and politicians put this country in the mess it is in.

Warning to FOX: STFU. There I said it.

Keep imposing warped ideas and unrealistic expectations on the world, and you’ll keep getting the response you’ve been getting. Fair, no?

Obama told the people exactly what he wanted to do and he proceeded to carry out his agenda.

Your comparison is quite lame.

I didn’t say he was lying. I said anyone should be concerned when he contradicts himself and that one’s not being the most careful if they believe ANYONE at face value.

I mean, look I respect where you’re coming from. But you keep hitting me with things that for me just opens up another door. You bring up socialists taking all my property (they probably wouldn’t want much of what I have anyway) and I mean, I can bring up Donald Trump trying to run Vera Coking out of house and home.

There’s a guy at another board who was calling Trump a socialist for his remarks on Ford not moving their plant or building a plant in Mexico. I told him I wouldn’t go that far as I think Trump was just tossing something out to play to a crowd of auto workers (and probably legitimately doesn’t want to see that plant built in Mexico.) But yeah, getting involved in what a private company is going to do- that’s treading on the border of something that is socialism light depending on how exactly he would do something like that.

I don’t judge by what a candidate says. I look at his record.

Images of Trumps record:
