Fabulous straight talk from Trump. The reporter learns that The Donald does not suffer fools.
Interview highlights: Thanks Palin; Says, if he were POTUS, we would take Iraq's oil and compensate our allies; Would not allow Iran to take over Iraq; Would impose 25% duty on Chinese imports.
I've been deceived by the GOP once too many times.
The “senior” “conservative” members of Congress are still running the show. They will be the ones that get Obama reelected.
Right now there isn't one candidate that energizes me to vote Republican.
Right now I'd take a chance on Trump.
Trump is a long time Dem donor. He’s pure snake oil.
He’d never get elected as an independent. Trump knows exactly what he thinks and isn’t afraid to say what he thinks. “Independents” are clueless and think whatever the last news clip they saw tells them to think.
Which probably explains the mild response from the erstwhile thin-skinned 0bama. I do believe this whole act has been orchestrated with 0bama's people. Trump is one never to be trusted.
OF COURSE IT'S ORCHESTRATED!!!!! Don't you think all campaigns and elections are?????
At this point in time, the Trumpster is a private citizen of the United States of America doing what we all wish we could, but don't have the economic or recognition muscle to do it.
He's got the stain scared. He's got the left scared. In point of fact, he's got the far right scared (if responses in this thread are to be believed).
Yet - to date....
1. He's just a private citizen,
2. He's not announced that he's running for anything at all,
3. And he's pulling all of the negative attention away from the boring, insipid, brain-dead, former loser rino/repub/conserv/tparty potential candidates.
Yes....he's smart, he plans ahead, he has plenty of money to get things done.
But don't let his "music" fool you....
Listen to the drumbeat...not the music!
You are a fool if youthink this dillweed is going to help anything.
Amen to that. I find it interesting here that Romney takes repeated hits for changing his political positions over time. Trump does the same thing and not a peep.
Trump's drumbeat is:
PAY ATTENTION TO ME!
PAY ATTENTION TO ME!
PAY ATTENTION TO ME!
PAY ATTENTION TO ME!
H. Ross Trump is going to give us four more years of Obama, just as surely as his eponym gave us Clinton in 1992.
Especially in light of the incredible group of brain-dead, old, former loser, no new ideas, too much baggage rino/repub/conserv/typarty potential candidates that are "thinking" about running.
There are some potential candidates with whom I mostly agree, but who are unelectable.
But now...very glad to have the Trumpster beating the drum and scaring the hell out of both the left and right.
Are you OK with Trump’s position on eminent domain abuse?
I’m pleased to see at least one person on this thread actually watched the interview. Trump is attcking Obama; with extreme effect. That is a GREAT thing.
Could Trump be full of crap? Sure. But he’s fighting the good fight now. Yes, I’m 100% for Palin. If Trump opposes her and she can’t defeat him, then she doesn’t deserve the office.
TV Trump is about like TV McCain.
Neither really want[ed] to be president, because that cuts into their TV face time. They want to be celebrities.
Being president would, basically, isolate them. [See BO’s recent complaint and his explanation of why he golfs so often.]
Trump is making noise because it is getting him TV face time. He likes that, just like McCain likes being on the news/newstalk programs.
I doubt Trump really wants to be ‘confined’ by the presidency.
I think maybe Michael Moore could run against Obama; maybe Hillary; maybe Al Gore.
Interesting that we don't think out of the box.
How dare you bring facts like that into an emotional discussion!
:)
But I don't understand if it's ok for the Tea Party to purge the RINOS and in essence become a third party, why wouldn't it be ok for Trump to do the same thing? I suspect it's because a LOT of people around here know that he is saying a lot of very popular things and that he apparently is one of the only major candidates willing to address the BC issue.
In other words, Trump would actually pull conservatives from the GOP. The question is, why? What is his message that the GOP isn't getting?
I like to point out that people who are Populist are not Conservative..
As opposed to say....the stain??? To SP??? To all the other potential candidates??
Can you name a SUCCESSFUL politician or public figure trying to sell themselves who does not scream your epithet (or a variation thereof) loud and long?
And...to date...I believe the Trumpster has "banged the drum" about the failures of the stain's administration and foreign birth....not about himself.
It's fine if you don't like him, but don't accuse him of something that all politicians, salesmen, and religious leaders do as well!
