Donald Trump's Solution on Gas Prices
ABC ^ | 4-18-2011 | George Stephanopoulos

Posted on 04/19/2011 5:09:26 AM PDT by italyconservative

I had a feisty 35 minute sit-down with Donald Trump today in which he dug in on the "birther" controversy, answered Club for Growth’s charge that he is a “liberal,” talked about a possible independent run and answered your questions.

But we began with his get tough approach on gas prices:

Trump: Look at what’s going on with your gasoline prices. They’re going to go to $5, $6, $7 and we don’t have anybody in Washington that calls OPEC and says, "Fellas, it’s time. It’s over. You’re not going to do it anymore." I don’t know if you saw yesterday, Saudi Arabia came out and said very strongly there’s plenty of oil. "We’re going to cut back." You know what cutting back means? They’re going to drive up the price even further.

Stephanopoulos: So, what would you do to back up that threat?

Trump: Oh, it’s so easy George. It’s so easy. It’s all about the messenger. They wouldn’t even be there if it wasn’t for us. If it weren’t for us, they wouldn’t be there. These 12 guys sit around a table and they say, "Let’s just screw the United States." And frankly, the rest of the world. …

And Trump was even more specific on what he would do with the Iraq oil fields: seize them.

Something, it appears, you have quite some experience with. ]

I just think when you want to mindlessly call everyone but Trump lovers castrati, that you shouldn’t be surprised when someone uses mindless invective back in your direction. But of course you are a Trump supporter, so you know best.

“So we’re going to take all the world’s oil by force if need be”

What does he think this is, the Roman Empire? Trump’s Seize Baby Seize solution is crazy talk.

It's quite a stretch to interpret my post as calling "everyone but Trump lovers castrati", but, if you want to view it as that, so be it.

"He scares the crap out of the MSM because he has the means to go over their heads the way Reagan did."


I like your logic Jay! This is the one point that intrigues me though. I'm guessin' that this is why they don't like Palin either! Watch for the media to pin him as a loon if he starts gaining popularity. This article follows that logic.

You can advocate any “fantasy candidate” you want but you know well as I that only the Donald can whip Obama. The Donald can raise the necessary funds and raise the right issues. Democrats and independents will vote for him. Palin and Bachmann...very nice people but they can never raise the money needed. They are “I wish” candidates

"I think for myself."

For you calling people names and repeating the DNC talking points is thinking?

For you it probably is, being a shill for liberals and a disruptor while never expressing a cognizant thought would take a small amount of work for any thinking individual.

It seems to come natural for you.

And they do that because they are getting screwed by the weak dollar.

lol. You complain about name-calling, and then engage in it. Amusing. But life is too short to waste on your kind. Enjoy your little Trump ride while it lasts. Fool.

Your obvious lack of ability to engage in intelligent conversation betrays your role as the shill that you are.

You post nothing but mindless dribble straight from the DNC, since you can not figure it out yourself, I will inform you that I am not complaining about "name-calling".

I am identifying you for exactly what you are, if I have to mention a name or two to make the point, that comes with the territory that you staked out so grow up moron. Take your crap back to DU.

Thank you. It's not easy being perfect.
