Trump; "War in Iraq is worse than Vietnam."
Imus in the Morning

Posted on 09/09/2004 5:47:39 AM PDT by Shortwave

In my humble outpost here in the hinterlands of Maine, listening to Imus this morning, "The Don", Donald Trump said; "The war in Iraq is worse than Vietnam." This comment came right after complaining about not being able to buy concrete because a lot is going to Iraq to rebuild thier country. Trump maybe a good businessman, but when it comes to the world outside of his financial empire, he's just an apprentice.

Vietnam = 58,177 KIA Iraq = 1,003 KIA

And if you cannot make a distinction between the importance of our presence in Iraq and the war on terrorism versus our presence in Vietnam to stop the tide of an idiological civil war, not only are you an apprentice you're a fool.

I heard Imus this morning speaking with democrat historian Goodwin and with Andrea Mitchell. Both had comments about the allegations from the cat-woman's new book. I couldn't stop screaming at the tube about the collective silence regarding impeached former president Clinton's on-the-record accusers relative to cocaine use. I couldn't help screaming about the silence from the adoring media as several women came forward and accused the impeached former president of sexual attacks. Imus is a suck-up. He wants access to the powerful - he will never challenge democrat stalwarts - never.

I'm a normal big Trump booster who is now ashamed he could make such a stupid comment. What can I say in his defense other than Imus brings out the worst in people.

Trump has long been an ass -- most apparent when he launched his mercifully brief vanity run for President 4 years ago.

Imus is awful. I only listen because I like to know what the other side is saying. I cannot believe how much, or how far, Imus has jumped the shark. I go bananas when Andrew Mitchell is on. She's the one of the most obviously objective reporters I've ever heard. She doesn't even hide it!

not being able to buy concrete because a lot is going to Iraq to rebuild thier country.

Actually, concrete, oil, and steel are all being bought up by China (hint: much larger than Iraq) which is undergoing massive building/rebuildingright now.

. . . Trump maybe a good businessman, . . .

Lessee, a man who is virtually broke and bankrupt, whose current most high profile claim to fame is his ability to say "You're fired!" on TV and you think him a good businessman!?

What's your definition of a poor businessman . . . Bob Hope?

A shortage of concrete would occur only if one attempted to fill the void between the Donald's ears with same.

Um...He's not "virtually broke". His casino's are but that only makes up about 5% of his business dealings. On the whole, he's doing very well. And in my opinion, he is a good business man and his bank account proves it.

That proposition has been proved over and over again:

Ted Turner

George Soros

Warren Buffett

Any random Hollywood airhead

Shall I go on?

No, the people who invested in the Trump Dump are at the point of collapse. Trump is financially set.

I have a few business investment rules:
1. Never invest in a company you feel is doing immoral work...like companies that make abortion pills.
2. Never invest in companies that have enough money to blow, that they buy sports stadiums...if they are that fiscally irresponsible, you better not let them have your money.
3. If the CEO is more concerned with being in front of a camera than running a business, don't invest.
4. If the company is losing money, but the CEO is making money, don't invest.
