Trump Knocks Obama, Calls Romney ‘Small’.
The Wall Street Journal's Washington Wire ^ | April 17, 2011 | Neil King Jr.

Posted on 04/17/2011 11:18:37 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

To hear The Donald tell it, he totally trumps President Barack Obama as a messenger and far outweighs Mitt Romney as a businessman.

Riding a surge in the polls recently, Donald Trump let loose on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, blaming Mr. Obama for soaring oil prices and disparaging Mr. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and his potential rival for the 2012 Republican nomination, as “basically small business guy.”

Showing his usual flair for letting it rip, Mr. Trump said the U.S. had become “a laughingstock throughout the world” under Mr. Obama.

Were he president, Mr. Trump said, he would force the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ major producers to lower oil prices—even though OPEC has no direct control over the price of oil—and would have invaded Libya “to take the oil” and not just to unseat leader Moammar Gadhafi.

When the CNN host, Candy Crowley, expressed dismay over the comment, Mr. Trump elaborated: “I’d take the oil. I’d give them plenty so they can live very happily. I would take the oil.”

He expressed nostalgia for “the old days, when you have a war and you win, that nation is yours.”

The small RINO, known as "Chihuahua Mitt":
My family and campaign lawyers have determined that
"Obama was born in the United States" and
and "Obama Doesn’t Need a Birth Certificate", and
"All citizenship tests are passed for Obama".

He is doing a pretty good job of declaring himself republican while doing things we dont condone.

He is painting us as arrogant greedy ****ers.

Dump Trump!

We can still cheer on the BC issue. But to conceal the truth about a possible GOP candidate is not what Free Republic is all about.

Don’t be afraid of the truth. Truth is good.

He’s kicking a Marxist’s ass, which is something the crop of minions are too afraid to do. If they had the guts to do their jobs, and not follow the path of Karl Rove, Trump would not even be an issue right now. The PC RINO’s have paved the way for a candidate with the b@lls to stand up and tell it like it is. The public loves it....

Donald Trump is doing a great job.

Those who get in his way seem to be RomneyBOTs.

Trump’s own audio clips from Mark Levin show.

Devastating in my opinion, and I’m sad to say they were a real eye-opener to me. Decide for yourself. This is really, really not good.

http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2011/04/sound-trumpet.html

Highlights:

In his own book, “America We Deserve”, Trump writes, “We must have universal healthcare. I’m a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one. We should not hear so many stories of families ruined by healthcare expenses.”

Kiss your freedom goodbye.

He gave no support whatsoever to the Tea Party and attended not a single rally, but donated to their opponents: Schumer, Weiner, Harry Reid, etc.

Donald Trump says he adores Nancy Pelosi and can’t understand why she didn’t do more to impeach the “evil” (his word) George Bush for “lying” to get us into Iraq.

Donald Trump says he can’t understand why John Kerry didn’t win in 2004, since Bush was so “wrong” on the war.

Trump said that George Bush was the worst president ever, although now he has changed his story to say Obama and Carter were the worst.

Don’t be fooled by this guy.

Yep, it certainly looks like Trump stirred up the anthill of the establismentarians. If they’d not prefer Obambi (the anti-Trump FR posters), then they’d certainly prefer Huckamneylentys, imperfect but reliable GOP due paying members.

Who’s being fooled?

I am watching the only guy that has the b@lls to stand up and kick Obama’s @ss. If that bothers you, then it says more about you (and your fear for Obama possibly) that it does about me.

“Who said anything about being ‘elected’. Last I checked, Trump hasn’t even declared. Thus far, the only thing he’s done is spend time kicking a Marxist’s ass (and doing a pretty good job of it). If that upsets you, it says more about you than me.”

If you missed Trump saying he plans to run for president, you must be living in a cave..

So you think all the 2012 GOP wannabees are socialists or recent born conservatives.

I wouldn’t call Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Haley Barbour or even Tim Pawlenty socialists or recent born conservatives like Trump.

He can kiss my ass.

How very magnanimous! Here are your crumbs! No! I wont take one tyrant for another!

Trump isn’t a real conservative, he donated money to Democrats and is friends with Clintons therefore he should not say anything bad about Barack ha ha ha
