Trump Endorses McCain
Politico.com ^ | 9/18/2008 | Mike Allen

Donald Trump, the flamboyant New York magnate, said on CNN’s “Larry King Live” on Wednesday night that he is supporting Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for president.

Trump, never shy with his opinions, went on to say that McCain appears to be winning, and that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) should have chosen Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) as his running mate.

“I know John McCain, and John McCain's a great guy, a tremendous guy,” Trump told King. “I've known him for a long time. And I'm with him, and I'm with him based on the fact that I have great knowledge of John McCain. Also, this is not the right time for tax increases. And Obama wants to increase your taxes drastically.”

Why, the MSM/Drivebys would have you believe he's losing to Obama! So how come fat cats are endorsing that loser McCain, hmm?

It may not be a question of wanting to raise taxes, but having to raise them. Just a thought.

I was at the gym tonight about the time Trump was on there and I flipped from H&C to CNN (I figure the Palin interview will be shown over and over and over again on FNC this weekend) and I heard Trump on Larry King. He likes John McCain and he seemed to have good things to say about Sarah Palin.

"It may not be a question of wanting to raise taxes, but having to raise them. Just a thought."

Why? When Bush lowered the federal income tax in 2003, federal revenue rose 41% by 2006, and the GDP shot up! Do you not like keeping more of the money that you labor for?

Please explain your comment.

I’m kinda surprised about Trump’s endorsement, because I’ve seen Trump on a number of talk shows this year and he has really laid into George W. Bush.....big time.

Glad to see he’s come around.

I watched extreme surfing vids on youtube while we were down.

Laird Hamilton is the $hit.
