Donald Trump was asked by Chris Cuomo to give his reaction to the Pope, who will be visiting the U.S. in the next month. Cuomo was particularly interested in Trump’s reaction to the Pontiff’s politicalization of his position, as well as his arguments that reckless capitalism can cause corruption.
For some reason, Trump responded by bringing up the threats made by ISIS earlier this year to take over Vatican City.
“ISIS wants to get you,” Trump said. “They better hope that capitalism works. It is the only thing we have right now. It is a great thing when it works properly.”
Trump gave his doubts that the Pope is actually anti-capitalist, and that America was not the problem. He went on to say that between measures like regulations and the Dodd-Frank Act, America is a non-competitive nation that must open itself to “great capitalism.”
You can watch the segment here:
Mr. Trump spoke nicely about the pope.
Good that I wasn’t asked the same questions.
:)
That statement is blunt, uncomfortable and completely true.
Trump is warning The Pontiff to
wake up, and smell the bloodshed from Christians.
Yes, I have noticed.
I. Respect the Human Person
II. Promote the Family
III. Protect Property Rights
IV. Work for the Common Good
V. Observe the Principle of Subsidiarity (think decentralization of authority concerning matters best decided on the local level)
VI. Respect Work and the Worker
VII. Pursue Peace and Care for the Poor
and having no teleprompter to tell him what to say either. No ummmm,errrrr. He got the establishment by their balls. =)
Haha ... I can relate.
He didn’t say the pope was a 10. Nor compared him to Rosie.
Yes, ISIS is coming for you,buff said!!!
> What fool? obama ? I don’t know how that communist creep Obama talks as every time I hear that monsters voice I turn the channel . Can’t stand that marxist demon who has destroyed America, the least of what this evil entity Obama did lately was give Iran hundred billion dollars so Iran can use suitcase nukes against the USA.
As long as they use them in DC before 2017, no problem
Yeah that would be good.
Running for office has become nearly impossible for anyone who doesn't have "(BLEEP) you!!!" resources and is willing to squander them on the fickle American people.
I still prefer Cruz for the top spot and would love to see the Trumpster as the "Pit Bull" at his side, kinda like Nixon's Spiro T. Agnew who also a "clear and coherent" counter agitator who made bureaucrats and Demoncrats clearly nervous!!!
I think Trumps leadership and boldness as president coupled with Cruz constitutional intelligence as vice would be better imho. I would take either way, but I don’t think Trump would do second slot.
I want Cruz too. Trump will probably pave the way for Cruz. It is still too early to make a final decision. So we can believe every man in what he is saying? Cruz, Trump, Walker, et. al.? I don’t think so. Are we this naive after the history of this process?
Cruz is the ONLY one for restoring the Constitution..
Because it has to restored to have an America based on LAW..
All other republican candidates are weak on the Constitution..
Except for Trump who could care less one way or the other.
ALL Democrats despise the Constitution.. which specifies and is foundation for a REPUBLIC..
Democrats are for Democracy a different system completely..
Reasonable but I doubt Trump the difference between this American Republic and a Democracy.. pity..
The American Constitution has the words democrat or democracy in it NOWHERE..
Not to be found.... ON PURPOSE..
Trump was a democrat for the longest time.. did he switch ideology’s or party’s.?
to wit: New Party, OLD Ideology.. i.e. wants America to be a Democracy..
Great video.
This tells me that Trump understand ISIS. None of the others seem to understand it.
Such as: "A kindler gentler nation," and by "A compassionate conservative" and other such feminized nonsense that genuine conservatives just can't abide and stay home from on election day in droves!!!
Trump, like Cheney, supply the testerostone and Cruz, the intellect and the conservative common sense till Trump grows intimately involved with being the "V.P. in charge of horseshit," as described in the '60's best seller, "Up The Organization."
That’s because he doesn’t run every sentence through some PC filter. He says what he’s thinking - no self censorship.
It’s not always smooth and well put together but it’s sincere.
What you see is what you get.
He’s the WYSIWYG candidate.
You make no sense and did not reply to my point about Trump’s verbal dialog. Go back to the other website, you will save some time posting.
