When it comes to meeting the constitutional requirements to seek the nations highest office, Donald Trump appears to have all the boxes checked: Hes older than 35; hes a natural born citizen, and hes lived in the U.S. longer than 14 years.
But Secretary of State John Kerry has just introduced another qualification for the presidency, and its one that Trump doesnt meet.
Although its not mentioned anywhere in Article 2 of the Constitution, the ability to accept the yoke of leftist groupthink is now a prerequisite for seeking the presidency. Specifically, all candidates must believe in and confess their belief before Gaia and her followers man-made climate change.
According to NBCs Andrea Mitchell, Kerry commented to her Tuesday that Trump, as well as others who make fun of global warming, arent fit to run for executive office.
From Downtrend:
Secretary of State John Kerry only wants people serving in government who subscribe to his particular flavor of environmental mythology.
Today, MSNBCs Andrea Mitchell tweeted out the following: .@JohnKerry to me re @realDonaldTrump & climate change deniers: they disqualify themselves from high public office with those statements
Kerrys statement is a response to a tweet issued by the Donald yesterday in which he noted that it was cold and we could use a big fat dose of global warming!
Remarkably, Kerry isnt the only one who bit. Trumps mocking got a harsh response from liberal media outlets, The Daily Caller reports. The liberal site Mother Jones ran with the headline Donald Trump Still Does Not Understand How Seasons Work and The Washington Post declared, No, Donald Trump, the existence of fall does not disprove global warming.
Trumps tweet was a joke about the unseasonably cold weather thats moved into the eastern U.S. and it was also an obvious invitation to Democrats to stick their necks out for some Internet trolling.
Whatever you may think of him as a candidate, Trump has shown that theres another way to play the political game and its one that subverts every convention and unwritten rule about how the political class is supposed to behave within its own ranks.
We just hope Kerrys comment doesnt convince The Donald to drop out of the race because, suddenly, his views have rendered him unqualified.
The left is in full PANIC MODE.
Hillary is not doing very well .. and after yesterday, she’s doing even worse. And, it was just revealed that the FBI was monitoring the hearing .. which means they were going to be listening for more damning info regarding Hillary’s actions re Benghazi, to add to her treachery via her email server.
Trump is doing great .. and anybody who thinks that because Carson is ahead in Iowa that Trump is in trouble is just looking for an excuse to say he’s in trouble. However, if anybody is really paying attention, Huckabee won the Iowa Caucuses in 2012 .. and he still didn’t go on to be President. You have to win more than Iowa. This is great for Carson, but it isn’t that important in the whole scheme of things.
Therein lies the problem for the left .. their candidate is no longer viable .. so they have to try to find some reason to say Trump is not eligible to be President.
I nearly fell over laughing when I read what Kerry said. And, I think the whole world is going to be laughing as well. Rather than have the public repelled by Trump’s lack of climate change agreement .. this will become a JOKE.
I can hardly wait to hear Trump’s comments about it.
One thing is for sure. Trump isn’t John Kerry and wouldn’t have John Edwards as his running mate.
There is no profanity adequate.
And Kerry knows what leadership is? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!
Kerry sure looks like it!!!....I went to that link
The before-and-after pictures don’t leave much room for doubt.
“Has he ever had a real Job?”
Not sure. Is there a job description for “gigolo”?
Trump was right about John Kerry.
How can he be taken seriously?
He went to negotiations with a broken leg that he got in a midlife crisis bicycle race of all things.
“the FBI was monitoring the hearing .. which means they were going to be listening for more damning info regarding Hillarys actions”
Don’t hold your breath. The FBI will act only if given the go-ahead by Holder, Obama, Jarrett, etc. Doubt if the FBI will do anything at all.
Well .. as far as I know, Mr. Comey is head of the FBI, not Holder .. and Holder is not Atty General any more.
And .. so far, Comey is proving to be his own man.
Of course, you don’t have to believe any of that. But, I see him doing things that the previous FBI person wouldn’t touch .. namely Hillary Clinton.
Who listens to John Kerry?
Perhaps he should ask Hillary for her Botox guy's number............
John “Jenjis” Kerry was “swift-boated” for good reason. The guys had his number: Ø.
Break another leg John!
“I see him doing things that the previous FBI person wouldnt touch .. namely Hillary Clinton.
I pray that you are right about that!
“Comey is proving to be his own man.”
Maybe... Maybe to a point. Then he has to realize that a dirt nap could be a distinct probability. Again, I hope you’re right — that someone answering to Hussein directly or indirectly would do the right thing. Ever. We’ve been stung so often.
