Trump bashes, boasts, and curses in first major Tea Party speech
CNN ^ | April 16, 2011 | Shannon Travis

Boca Raton, Florida-Donald Trump unleashed a fiery anti-President Barack Obama stump speech for members and supporters of the South Florida Tea Party Saturday and made frequent references to what he would do as president.

Throngs of fired-up voters in a vote-rich battleground state encouraged him.

While the billionaire real estate developer is not currently a presidential candidate, his appearance at a Tea Party event in Florida might have made the casual observer think he is running.

And yet, unusual moments made Trump’s speech unlike any other so far this political season. He harshly criticized some Republicans, tailored his speech based on crowd shout-outs, dissed hecklers, used a curse word and recalled how his wife urged him not to be “conceited."

--snip--

And while claiming there were huge writing differences between Obama’s first book, "Dreams From My Father", and the second, "The Audacity of Hope," Trump used profanity to say they could not have both been written by Obama.

“The man that wrote the second book ... didn’t write the first book," Trump said. “The difference was like chicken salad and chicken (expletive)."

No way. It is no coincidence that Obama’s numbers have gone down as Trump’s have gone up. Trump is beating the hell out of Obama and his media propagandists on a daily basis in spite of protests from Mark Levin and Karl Rove.

100% right actually. YOU wake up. Trumps history is as a Liberal. I could list on, and on. People don’t trust Romney, and rightfully so for his flip flopping RINO ways.

If Trump runs on the Republican ticket, he’s auto-RINO. He cannot be trusted. His history says as much.

Trump is a showman. Obama is sitting in the WH laughing at all the insults Trump is throwing his way knowing exactly how many months it is until the next election. Plenty of time for Trump to damage the “H” out of the credibility of the TEA Party.

He might be doing the bidding, as so many are of George Soros. Soros bought into Trumps latest construction project of a sudden.

There are waaaaaaaaaay too many questions with this Trump move. He’s no Conservative. He has a history of Leftism, and that means his new act is bullshit.

I don’t know. But Tom Thumb had more stature than Trump.

When did he personally declare bankruptcy as opposed to steering a company through bankruptcy? There is a substantial difference. In fact you could say that steering a through a bankruptcy reorganization is what a bankrupt country needs. We wouuld have been better off to let GM and Chrysler go through bankruptcy.

If Trump was honest he’d challenge Obama in the Democrat primary because (1) Trump IS a Dem and (2) he has to beat Obama and Palin to become president so what difference does it make what order he does it in. (Not that he EVER could, mind you.)

LOL! As long as he keeps taking it to Obama, bring it on!

The so-called serious conservative politicians are too serious wetting their pants right now and trying to get along with Obama and the democrats. They couldn’t even fight for an honest, credible budget deal.

And no, I'm not supporting Trump, I'm simply enjoying the fact that he is going after Obama. Anyone who attacks Obama is welcome in my book.

Obama is doing a terrible job as president and that is why his poll numbers are down. I seriously doubt that Trump has anything to do with it. “ ======================

Look, Trump has put Obama in a seriously bad mood. Of course he has hurt Obama’s poll numbers, but you’re right, most of the loss is from the Left. Worry about whom we vote for when we get ready to vote. It’s a little early to panic over Trump. He has been kind enough to say that he won’t run unless he can win. If he thinks he can win, but loses in the Republican primary, then he will run as an Independent, but even then only if he is sure he can beat Obama. That is his goal—to see Obama knocked out.

Donald Trump is not an honorable man IMHO.

HE may as well run a porn empire.

He is not the face of the TEA PARTY

People are attacking Levin and praising Trump on this forum.

It’s insanity.

Companies that go through bankruptcy reorganizations as a general rule are able to reduce the outlay on union contracts that are too expensive. Does that tell you anything?

I am no a Trump promoter. I am highly skeptical of what he is up to. He has given to some of the most loathsome Democrats in history. However, I love to hear him Bash the Bamster. Palin beat him up good in WI and Trump kicked him the teeth when he was down on the ground. GOOD! We need more of t. Remember that Dems took back the House and the Senate by nonstop Bush Bashing, THIS BY SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND THE SENATE!

Call him out for the scumbag loser that he is. Every time you are in front of a hot mike.

He has become far to ubiquitous for me.

I cant take a shower without TRUMP showing up.
He is annoying and suspicious.

Due to election laws he can not run as an independent if he files for Republican primaries. This is the law that was started after John Anderson ran in 1980 as an independent after being in republican primaries.

Thanks for showing your TRUE colors. Does the White House pay you to trash anyone that goes after Obama. Like I said I know who I want to win the nomination. I do not TRASH people that are too Chicken $hit to ask Obama tough questions.

The fact that you attack people that question Obama tells everyone where you stand. So is the White House paying you????
