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.”

YOU CANT DO THAT!

Ever hear of posse commitatus?

Which has absolutely nothing to do with putting our military on our border to repel an invasion. This is one of the primary duties of the Federal government, according to the Constitution.

What would be the result of say Backman came out and demanded the BC. He would provide one and completely discredit her.

What would happen if someone proved he wasn’t a citizen? A massive Constitutional crisis which would almost certainly lead to bloodshed if not outright civil war.

Levin’s right on this one.

- Trump has never been pro life.

- Trump has never favored lower taxes; he has always been in favor of high taxes.

- Trump is a proponent of “Single Payer” healthcare (Obamacare IOW)

- Trump has no idea what “Christian” even means.

What do you mean, can’t do that?

The PRIMARY purpose of our military is to protect our borders from invaders.

Romney would have been a much better candidate than McAmensty. And a better President.

I think we can and have to do better than Romney. But at the time he was the best option and I agreed with Levin on this.

I believe that Oasshole had to make a decision on citizenship at age 19.

Do I take Daddys citizenship or mummies?

It doesn’t matter.

He is not a NBC regardless of his place of birth or choice of allegiance. Both parents are required to be citizens for NB citizenship.

Mark Levin thinks Trump is so awful...
He should come up with someone else who can beat Obama. I want Obama out and only Trump can ride Obama on the right issues and raise the money to beat him. Donald Trump is who Obama has the most fear running against

Beating up China and OPEC on free trade and fairness issues is something a wide spectrum of voters support. Free trade and massive State and Federal borrowing go us into this mess. If Levin is a “Free trader” type then he is making a big mistake. I don’t get his show so I don’t know.

So Mark Levin-— Who is your candidate who can beat Obama? Who can match Obama and raise one billion dollars to campaign? We hear your negatives on Trump. So give us a positive on who you would like to run. Haley Barber? Sarah Palin? Romney? Huckster?

No, I am saying that the “democrat-media complex” IGNORED the real conservatives in the race and threw in a bunch of idiots like Lamar Alexander, Giuliani and King nut job, Ron Paul, to clump up the race.

"Because the birth certificate is not the issue; regardless of where he may have been born, he cannot be a Natural Born Citizen because his father was not a citizen. That is the fact regardless of his place of birth."

OK, and what conservative commentator or politician has pointed that out. Many of us believe this is a fact, subject to the definition of NBC. Which I believe means born of two parents on American soil. Lets have that discussion out in the open. But every time we try it gets shut down by so called conservatives. I honestly don't know if it is fear or some grand conspiracy. It's a huge elephant in the middle of the room that very few even acknowledge.

That's it, don't seek the truth because you're afraid of what the answer might be. Yeah, that's the ticket, hide in my "bunker" and if I pull the blanket over my head no one can hurt me.

And they wonder why someone with guts, like Trump, is getting so much traction...

>> “He should come up with someone else who can beat Obama.” <<

.
Palin is going to beat Obama to a pulp; she knows all the issues better than any other candidate; she can think on her feet; she knows what to hit when.

No one else does. (or wishes to)

Are you really that naive? Its a game of chess and you are playing tic-tac-toe.

Trump is a fool as is anyone who thinks he’s a conservative.

In the past 20-30 years, Trump has embraced real estate development. He isn’t a standard career politician who has spent 20-30 years paying lip service to this cause or the other. He has been working for a living.
