Mark Levin On ‘Airhead’ Donald Trump: ‘Does This Guy Sound Stupid Or What?’

Mark Levin On ‘Airhead’ Donald Trump: ‘Does This Guy Sound Stupid Or What?’

by Matt Schneider | 1:44 pm, April 20th, 2011

The conservative claws are coming out for potential Republican candidate for President Donald Trump. Not only has Congresswoman Michele Bachmann declared the story with President Obama’s birth certificate is “over,” but now radio host Mark Levin is tearing Trump apart on his other favorite issues. Comparing Trump’s thinking to President Herbert Hoover, Levin does not mince words for the man he sarcastically refers to as “our new conservative hero.”

What prompted Levin’s outrage was Trump failing to defend Republican Congressman Paul Ryan’s budget. Levin played a clip of Trump on NBC vowing to always protect Medicare for senior citizens and saying “I think Paul Ryan is too far out front with this issue, I think he ought to sit back and relax.” When Trump instead suggests the budget problems could be fixed by taking on China and OPEC, Levin stops the clip and angrily yells “What the hell does that have to do with Medicare? Does this guy sound stupid or what?” Levin is outraged over Trump not having any idea about Medicare and demanded to know why “when Medicare is going to collapse Mr. Businessman” you want Paul Ryan to sit back and relax?

Levin was on fire as he provided a series of arguments to discredit nearly every perceived benefit of a Trump candidacy. Suggesting Trump’s proposal for a tariff on goods from China is as horrible of an idea as many of Trump’s other past positions, Levin said even if “all your supporters are going to give you a pass on every damn thing you’ve ever said or done” Levin will not be along for the ride. And in his final parting shot, since Trump repeatedly argues his success as a businessman would make him a great President, Levin humorously concludes, “if I follow your logic, Bill Gates ought to be President of the United States because he’s worth ten times what you are too, and yet when it comes to economics and government he’s an airhead just like you.”

Levin never harped on Palin or Bachman.

Trump is splitting the party!

Donald Trump is so full of himself that there leaves little room for anything else.

Not like that modest, self-depreciating, Mark Levin.

You’re full of brown stuff. - There is nothing elitist about Levin. He is the most active in taking on the likes of Boehner, Barbour, and McConnell.

At the same time no one cares about this issue. Trump is proving that.

Mark jumped the gun.

WTF are we even doing in Libya?

making sure that Europe's oil supply doesn't get cut into so we don't have to worry about them coming to our suppliers and reducing our supply. I also like that we're getting Europe to kill muslims for oil now. It will make it harder for them to oppose us when the pooh really gets heavy in the next decades.

"It hasnt gotten traction in 3 years."

And why is that? It is a big issue with me, and every conservative I personally know. Yet every inside the beltway co called conservative avoids it. I say let get it out in the open and deal with it. If the one is not eligible, which seems at least likely, this is the biggest crises this country has ever faced. Are we going to deal with it, or hide with our heads in the sand?

At least mark does pro bono work for conservative values rather than twisting guberment arms to steal old ladies homes for casino parking.

and you don't mind that while he is killing libs he insults Palin, Trump, Bachmann etc. etc. ? Sorry but I detest A. H. like that. They split the party.

If you are referring to Levin, he doesn't insult Palin and Bachmann.

No, Levin is spot on. Trump will never be capable of doing any good for the country. He isn’t even a Christian.

Guess you missed the last 20-30 years. Let me recap for you.

Trump is a lifelong LIBERAL.
Trump has NEVER embraced conservatism.
That means Trump is an enemy to conservatives.

Now Trump can say anything and you suckers will believe him.

Levin, Krauthammer, Rove, Medved et al are all going berserk over Trump gaining traction. Maybe it has something to do with Trump wanting to bring loads of US troops home and put them on the Southern border—seems like it would put a dent in their plans.

I’m with Levin, I get it, but you’re right, the issue NEEDS to be dealt with whether or not Donald “the airhead” is talking about it. Bonus to Donald for bringing it up, but let’s get on the issue of the eligibility, not about Trump, which detracts.

Well don't wait for Levin to deal with it, because he's just a Constitutional lawyer, of what constitution? Not sure.

DR. LEVIN is modest. You can tell from the way he broadcast from his hidden bunker, deep beneath the brick and stone of an ORDINARY looking building!

It’s because it’s a 3rd rail.

YOU MARK MY WORDS. NO SERIOUS CANDIDATE WILL TOUCH IT.

IT hasnt been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt and wont be due to HIPPA laws.

Several govt official including Linda Lingle have said the is nothing to see here.

You can believe he was born in Kenya all day long, but you cant prove it.

What we can prove is that he has run the country into debt, started new wars here we have no national interests, he has snubbed and de throned allies, enabled enemys, ignored federal law and federal judges, funneled money to unions buddies, pissed in the waters of the constitution....
