Trump: "I'm much bigger than Romney"
Right Across The Atlantic ^ | Michael van der Galien

Posted on 04/18/2011 2:16:07 PM PDT by Michael van der Galien

Donald Trump believes that he’s fit to be president. Why, you ask? Because he knows so much about foreign policy or economics? Or perhaps because he has a lot of experience working in the public sector? No, because he’s rich.

“I’m a much bigger business man and have (a) much, much bigger net worth. I mean, my net worth is many, many, many times Mitt Romney,” he said yesterday on CNN’s State of the Nation. “I built a very big net worth and I’d like to put that ability … to work for this country.” He added that he doesn’t “do it for myself, I’ll be doing it for the country.”

Although Trump’s obviously oversimplifying matters, there’s something to say for having a successful businessman run for president. Like Romney, he has proved himself in the private sector. That’s an important feature for presidential candidates; they can use their business experience to run the country. A figure such as Trump will be able to streamline the bureaucracy and to think outside of the box. Oh, and that’s not even to mention his ability to help the economy regain its footing.

Having said that, Trump is obviously wrong to assert that this is all one needs.

I can. I mean, according to Trump’s logic, Warren Buffett would be better than him. Buffett: Obama’s best friend.

The mere act of bringing out the BC issue proves his are bigger than the entire GOP put together.

Trump isn't saying that's all you need. Trump has a lot of assets and they're connected to his big brain.

He's also the only one who has said....NO MOSQUE NEAR GROUND ZERO.

And Trump's ego in much bigger than Romney. And Trump's fake hair is much bigger than Romney’s fake hair.

The Magic RINO Romney:
My lawyers say Obama was born in the United States,
and Obama Doesn’t Need a Birth Certificate, and
all citizenship tests have been passed by Obama".

Maybe, at least he has not been running a whore house hedge fund. But then only his X’s know for sure. LOL

Milt delivered a GREAT quote on BOR today
which describes how Magic Milt views himself.

Romney - the Magic RINO:
"I have had a lifetime of service
in the private sector."

(Romney on BOR, 16.15 EST, 4/18/2011)



"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn't make any sense at all.""

--  President Ronald Reagan

I think there should be some sort of spouse rule that applies to all Trump posts...

Total bullshit. Trump is a debt-inflated business disaster. His companies have declared bankruptcy at least three times, he has defaulted on loans numerous times, and even sued to use Eminent Domain to wreck a woman’s house to make way for a VIP Limousine parking lot next to one of his casinos (thank goodness, he lost). I would NEVER vote for Mitt Romney, however he is FAR more successful in business. He was a shrewd VC fund manager with Bain Capital, giving Staples it’s seed and then main funding, returning 700% return to investors. I hope neither one of these guys ever become the GOP’s nominee.

Which is bigger: Trump’s mouth or Trump’s ego?

Trump asked Forbes to check his books. Trump wanted that billionaire rating from them. He comes in at 2 billion. Romney runs a candy store in comparison
