Sounding increasingly like a candidate, Donald Trump repeatedly told a raucous tea party crowd today he has the qualities needed in the White House and the conservative ideals necessary to seal the Republican nomination should he decide to run.
Trump struck familiar themes and talked about his own business acumen in his speech to hundreds gathered at a park here, where his name festooned signs, buttons and T-shirts of supporters. The real estate mogul even talked about the type of people he'd have serve as diplomats and said he was looking forward to releasing his financial disclosures.
"Most very successful people, the kind of people that we need running our country, don't want to be scrutinized and abused," he said. "This is the kind of person that this country must have right now."
He derided President Barack Obama, calling him the worst to occupy the White House in history. He again questioned whether the president was born in the U.S., even though the fact has been affirmed by officials in Hawaii, where Obama was born. And he maligned China, saying the U.S. should take control of Iraqi oil and described American infrastructure as third world.
Trump ticked through a number of issues seen as bedrocks for conservative candidates, saying he is anti-abortion, against gun control and wants to repeal Obama's health care law. Throughout the speech, he portrayed the U.S. as a nation in decline and himself as its potential savior.

So make the case how Trump can beat Obama without fail. You are the one making the claim for Trump - I am not making it for any candidate. So go ahead - make your case.
Sarah Palin/Donald Trump? I prefer, either, Sarah Palin/Herman Cain, or Sarah Palin/Allen West. I don’t see Donald becoming the final pick of the GOP, but, at the very least, Donald continues to say what needs to be said, about a variety of issues. I continue to believe that Donald is doing what he’s doing as a publicity stunt, and nothing more. Donald is pretending to be a conservative, while all of his past actions and views prove leftist positions on most issues. Donald has, also, donated lots of money to a variety of leftist politicians!
You're so stupid you don't even recognize sarcasm when it is presented to you.
“Round and round you go. Every time you are confronted with a fact you don’t like you deflect.
The point is Trump is not a conservative and his team is not conservative. He’s making fools of the Tea Party and conservatives who think he’s actually supporting their agenda.
He’s a master manipulator and you’re one of those fools.
Rove is fighting to stay relevant and won’t be a factor in this next election.”
A swing and a MISS OK you answer for Dirty pants,Who can beat Obama in 2012???
Roll tape...
CHEETAHCAT: You ever do BIG business in NY City??
FREEREIGN: Hillary Clinton, Anthony D. Weiner, Charles Schumer, Charlie Crist, Harry Reid, Arlen Specter, Chris Dodd, Charles Rangel, John Kerry, are all federal government politicans.
LOL!
You’re arguing with Forest Gump, step away from the keyboard man, step away.
If you’re not drunk, and I mean really bombed, the school you graduated from needs to be sued for malpractice, shut down, and obliterated with a wrecking ball.
“A swing and a MISS OK you answer for Dirty pants”
Where did I miss?
Oh yes. And they are still in power. Who is the name of that woman who won as a write in again?
Palin on the other hand. Resigned her office as a result of enemies.
“Wrong and these people think you know something,LOL LOL only a dolt!
You’re so stupid you don’t even recognize sarcasm when it is presented to you”
You were asked a question Mr Nobody, Now you have my current selection for a candidate, how about yours? come on Dufas I need a laugh!
Sigh....we don't know yet....stupid.....we're waiting for candidates to declare......you know.....for the race. The presidential race.
Enough! Cool it with the personal attacks or you will be looking at a suspension.
Forrest Gump was an understated gentleman. This goof abuses exclamation points the way Lenny Bruce abused morphine.
The Donald certainly has the best and the brightest lining up behind him.
Who gives a big Rat's Ass? Trump is taking obama of arabia to the cleaners.......Let's go big mouth I have all night.
“Enough! Cool it with the personal attacks or you will be looking at a suspension.”
Sir yes no problem and sorry you got involved!
I said protection money - he paid protection money to Dem candidates so that his real estate business wouldn’t face onerous new laws.
“The Donald certainly has the best and the brightest lining up behind him.”
The best money can buy. The real message here is there won’t be a serious candidate competing with BO for the Democratic nomination.
That and the GOP is so inept a Democrat thinks they can step in and take the GOP nomination. Judging from some peoples reaction they are not wrong.
You actually think conservatives didn’t vote because of Bush? PUH LEEZE.
Sissy. A real man would take it to Admin Mod.
You got that wrong. Nothing new.
Cheetahbreath is a trumpster, like you.
