Trump: Establishment and special interests are killing the country
Washington Examiner ^ | 4/23/16 | Curt Mills

Posted on 04/23/2016 5:18:28 PM PDT by markomalley

Donald Trump said Saturday that political insiders are "killing the country" and urged backers to help him defeat them.

The Establishment and special interests are absolutely killing our country," Trump tweeted. "Stop them now."

The mogul released a new video laying out his beef with the so-called Establishment.

"The Establishment, lobbyists, and special interests are absolutely killing our country," Trump says in the video, "I will work for you."

"Our politicians are never going to do what's right for you — the people of our country" Trump continues. "They are only going to do what's right for them, meaning contributions to run for office now, and in the future."

Trump, though, conceded some pragmatism, conceivably trying to head off criticism that he's selling out.

"We'll work with the Establishment, but they're no longer going to control what's happening," Trump remarks.

"We're going to control it. And it's going to be good for you. And it's going to be my great honor."

Shows you don’t know how business works in the United Sates.

Here is a man who know the corruption inside and out, wants to end the corruption.

And you knock him for it.

Whose side are you on?

Well said. Apparently no other candidate has any alterior motive or self-interest at play when running for President. It’s all selfless. But with Trump, it’s a different story .

The reality is quite the opposite. Trump is honest about where he comes from and is transparent. He doesn’t apologize for being wealthy, but believes in doing it honestly. The Trump bashers can’t imagine there are actually people like Trump who aren’t as cynical as their preferred candidates are. In their arrogance and stupidity, they fall, once again, for the latest two-faced phony who is playing them like a fiddle.

In the article, quoting Trump:

“We’ll work with the Establishment, but they’re no longer going to control what’s happening,” Trump remarks.

“We’re going to control it. And it’s going to be good for you. And it’s going to be my great honor.”

The complex solutions you embrace are excuses to maintain the status quo. Of course, securing the border is too complicated to address with a wall. We need more nuance, study groups and talk. Good luck selling that. Trump gets things done. His whole career is proof of that. Maybe you don’t like a problem solver like Trump because you prefer complaining.

Trump has yuge brass. Words like that in most of the world ends in a hail of bullets. We’re about to find out if America has become a banana republic.

I’ve thought that if Trump somehow didn’t make it the powers in D.C will never let him keep his fortune. They’d spend the rest of their lives seeking revenge.

Why don’t they just go for Hillary and be done with it?

But wait a minute. I thought Trump was pivoting back to his old liberal Democrat self now that he’s virtually won the primaries?

That's only being put out by the Cruz "bitter-enders" who refuse to actually look at the inconsistencies in their candidate.
