Via Mediaite, which has excerpts from last nights F-bomb cavalcade. One of our commenters in Headlines watched the clip and observed that Trump is basically a leftist caricature of Republicans brought to life. Precisely but with the caveat that something like 20 percent of the GOP wants to embrace the caricature. (That number might already be slipping.) He knows hes too compromised on conservative principles to get traction with the base so he overcompensates with tell-it-like-it-is populist bravado aimed at framing himself as the ultimate regular-guy outsider. Calling the Chinese MFers is the logical extension of that; if he cant address economic anxieties with a serious policy solution, at least he can do it with rhetorical empowerment. Thats why Reagan, who did have a serious Cold War strategy, didnt have to say Tear down this motherf***ing wall instead.
Just to follow up on the point about leftist caricature, though, Im intrigued by this tidbit from his trip to New Hampshire:

i like it.
Yet they consider Gov. Palin a washed-up moron. What happened to our country?
There’s no place for language like this in public discourse.What can Trump possibly be thinking?

That’s all good and fine. I already have a 5 year plus inventory of everything that I will need from China.
But I would like to hear him say something about freeing up this country to start making things again. He’s talked great about drilling, but that’s about all I’ve heard.
What if he wins the job and follows through...
Yup you right Id much rather have my politician lie to me with nice werds
And yet some people were seriously considering supporting this buffoon?
With the potty-mouth, even.
Buy the way, China can EASILY respond in kind to this stunt by freeing up the Yawn a bit, and matching Trump’s 25% tax with a 25% (or more) tax of their own. By the time you put the two together, poor and middle income people will have NO IDEA what happened.
But, in any case, things will get a lot worse than that when the dollar finally snaps, which, hopefully, will be this year.
That’s not my point.Would you really want a President to speak like that,I sure wouldn’t.
Oh yeah, he’s a typical Republican.
Nice.
Sound like Trump want to increase 25% tax on Americans. Anyone who support tax increases is no conservative
Hi Yankee...haha.. Trump silly...You economy good...Mickey D hire!! ...Trump say bad joke...He pulling yankee leg....You vote free trade yankee...it good for you...make you strong...Be proud...haha...Bye bye now.
A middle-man will be added. Instead of US companies importing directly from China, they will import from companies in other countries who will import directly from China.
The peroxide has gone inside his head.
Dumb blond!
Silly yankee...then no one would buy china yum yum...haha...It not happen, we give you cheap pork chop...yum yum...you go shop now.
your right... it’s better if we all work for McDonalds, and the Chinese make everything.

F bomb = instant applause everywhere.
