Donald Trump Strikes Back (He's making the right enemies, just like Sarah)
The New York Times ^ | April 8, 2011 | Gail Collins

Posted on 04/08/2011 10:34:26 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Donald Trump has written a letter complaining about me.

“Her storytelling ability and word usage (coming from me, who has written many bestsellers), is not at a very high level,” he penned.

Although Trump and I have had our differences in the past, I never felt it was personal. In fact, until now, I have refrained from noting that I once got an aggrieved message from him in which he misspelled the word “too.”

But about the letter. Mainly, it’s a list of alleged evidence that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. Trump has made this the centerpiece of his faux presidential campaign, falling further and further into the land of the lunatic fringe. I find this a disturbing spectacle — a little like seeing a guy you know from the neighborhood suddenly turn up in the middle of Times Square with his face painted blue and yelling about space aliens.

“Bill Ayers wrote ‘Dreams From My Father,’ I have no doubt about it,” Trump told Joe Scarborough, who reported on Politico.com.

Ayers is the former ’60s radical who became a huge Republican talking point in 2008 because he had once given a house party for Obama when he was running for state senate. It’s a pretty big jump from coffee and cookies to writing an entire book, but I guess that’s what neighbors are for....

“coming from me, who has written many bestsellers”

Haven’t read ‘em.
Haven’t even ever heard of you, in fact.

*Everybody* knows The Donald.

-Everybody-.

Say goodnight, Gail.

What’s up? Is someone bitching about “to”, “too” and “two”? Hey, what about “there”, “their” and “they’re”?

Trump is EXACTLY the right person to trumpet this as a stalking horse for Hillary.

He’s got more money than he needs, he’s extremely high profile in the media, he’s got nothing to hide in his past as it’s all out there in the media, and has been for years.

He doesn’t much care what the New York Elites think, or the Village Liberals, because THEY are the ones clamoring for invites to HIS fancy-dress parties, not the other way around.

He’s likely got the goods on any number of seedy deals in and around New York by Democrat Pols he’s supported in the past, so he’s got the goods on them, as well, and doesn’t fear much blowback.

And SOMEONE very high up is telling him he and his deals have nothing to fear from the Federal Government, too. That can only be the Clintonistas/DLC crowd.

And it’s driving the extreme leftists whacko that they have no leverage against him.

The fact that she took note of such a trivial typo—writers make mistakes like that all the time—and thinks it’s even worth mentioning is industrial-strength childish. It’s like she clings to that one inadvertent mistake like some kind of life-preserver: ‘See—I really am smarter/a better writer than Trump; ***I*** know the difference between ‘to’ and ‘too’ - neener, neener, neener’.

Her maturity level must be right around third grade. Plus she isn’t that mentally acute. She must have seen Trump’s smack-down of Rosie. Yet she needles him, heedless of the fact she’s about to make Rosie’s ordeal look like a picnic at the beach. Talk about stuck on stupid. She will rue the day she wrote this puerile response, guaranteed.

It’s as if Gail Collins and the rest of the liberal media see dots everywhere, they just don’t see the lines connecting them. So incredibly misguided!

These Soetoro water-carriers aren’t blind, and most aren’t even stupid. They are just “willfully ignorant” - which IMO verges on traitorous.

As the usurper in the WH once said, “don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother”.

How refreshing to read this from Trump’s letter to Collins .. PREACH IT!

~~~~~~

“For some reason, the press protects President Obama beyond anything or anyone I have ever seen. What they don’t realize is that if he was not born in the United States, they would have uncovered the greatest “scam” in the history of our country. In other words, they would become the hottest writer since Watergate, or beyond.

Open your eyes, Gail, there’s at least a good chance that Barack Hussein Obama has made mincemeat out of our great and cherished Constitution!”

And my personal favorites - bough, ‘though, through, tough and cough. I know, not the same as your examples, but they show what a difficult language English is. :-)))

The more the MSM yells and have their temper tantrums, the more this issue is getting the public's attention.

Keep it up MSM, your helping by getting this issue of Obama's birth certificate and lack of eligibility the attention it well deserves.

" I figure the liberals are going to start a drumbeat that Trump is too “angry” and doesn't have the temperament to be president. That seems to be the angle they use on any Republican candidate that doesn't approach them meekly, hat-in-hand acting as if they need the liberal medias acceptance and approval to run for president as a Republican."

The condition America is in now ? and the high gas and food prices ? and the economy ? HA HA ! Americans will cheer on anyone who takes on the MSM and the Democrats, and Donald Trump proves that fact.

GO TRUMP GO !

DON'T BACK DOWN !


AMERICANS ARE SICK AND TIRED AND ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE FROM THE LIBERALS AND MSM !
