He always cites Chinese curtain wall manufacturers and dealings in Dubai. I suspect both got the best of him

I doubt that. Trump is probably just like any other international business person in that he has to buy from other countries and also do business in other countries. He sees that they take advantage of us. Its not a new thing.

Bush promised that the Iraq oil revenue would pay for the post-war reconstruction.

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/05/international/middleeast/05OIL.html

I haven’t been able to find a link stating that Bush claimed that Iraqi oil would pay for the war itself.

"George W Bush did all right"

Is that you Karl?

If President Bush did such a great job we would not be calling 0bama "Mr. President".

Trump is right Karl Rove made such a joke of President Bush's term in office, that "Abraham Lincoln could not have won against 0bama".

Bush was the “thank you sir, may I have another” president.

"Do those sour grapes pucker your mouth?"

Did you mean this to be a reply to me?

I have no taste of sour grapes, I voted for President Bush twice and hold him in the highest respect.

I'm just not convinced that he won any "deals" with either the Saudi's or the Chinese.

Now, Karl on the other hand, has proven himself to be a small, petty, ignorant man that would rather see Romney or some other RINO lose against 0bama in 2012.

I apologize if that is really you Karl, meant no personal attack on you, but since you post as bert I was not sure.

Good point on Truimp’s talking tough stance. Trump consistently talks about the importance of strong leadership.

Here’s a quote from one of his books: “Leadership is perhaps the key to getting any job done”.

Didn’t like the guy in person either. I actually thought “biggest asshole I ever met in my life”.

But you can’t get any worse than O for so many reasons

Hey, the country is facing bankruptcy, and Donald is an experienced old hand on the subject. He knows how to do it! What’s not to like?

We need an a-hole in the White House, we need somebody who will stand up to Putin and China, and the UN.

I’ve yet to hear someone explain how someone who’s “crazy” can develop into one of world’s most successful business entrepreneurs?

You are exactly right. He is using a tried and true business strategy to start by demanding what you want and work from there. Intimidation and negotiation are then used to form a deal.

I can’t believe the misinformation spread on this board. Trump did not say just go seize Libya’s oil. He said it would be the only reason to pay any attention to them. And he has said he would only run as a third party if he was SURE he could win. Not Perot 2.0. He is being hit as hard from the scared right as from the left. This is why we will not win the White House we eat our young.

Perhaps we need a crazy, egotistical, intelligent, convincing, bulldog American Patriot to beat a crazy, egotistical Marxist.

More lies, Donald never filed for bankruptcy.

You are a little slow on the uptake, you are mouthing old talking points.

RE :”Trump has been saying get tough with the Saudi’s on oil for years. This is not a new position for him. I have seen him discuss it previously. I totally agree with him. I would tell the King of Saudi Arabia to give us a discount on oil or next time his little regime is in trouble lose our phone number......With $1.5 trillion in repayment from Iraq we could repay the entire $950 billion we owe the Chinese and still go out to dinner.

Neither are his past socialist positions for ‘single payer’ Canadian style health care or a wealth tax. Then there was his made up Royal Rumble feud with Vince McMahan on WWF Wrestling, or his feud with Rosie on The View. Oh, and he supported Obama’s economic plan till the economy tanked again.

OK, so you actually believe that a president Trump is going to wave his magic wand and command the Saudi’s to lower world old prices (for just us apparently) just because he says he can? Just like he beat Vince McMahan on the WWF Wrestling show. I got news for you. Trump is play acting for suckers that still believe Santa is coming down the chimney.

A. I’d take Hillary over Obama in a heartbeat.

B. Guys who put their names on hotels don’t work for anyone but themselves.
