The Trump Mystery
The Washington Times ^ | April 18, 2011 | Jennifer Harper

Posted on 04/18/2011 8:06:50 AM PDT by lakeprincess

Is he a conservative or Republican in “name only”? Is he running, not running? Is he a clandestine Democratic operative bent on dividing the GOP’s presidential vote in 2012, or just a very rich man who enjoys political fisticuffs on a global stage? The mysterious aspirations of Donald Trump continue to provide fodder to press prose.

Whatever his motives may be and whatever his political leanings may reveal, he is causing the media to have to go to places they don't want to be in the sense reporting and investigating.

What the media will do is focus all their energy on investigating Trump rather than his allegations. They will stay true to Obama and Alinsky and try to discredit the messenger.

Honestly, what’s the “mystery” about Trump?

He’s a billionaire, out to make more billions, as most billionaires do (and the rest of us for that matter). He’s out for himself and his business ventures, as he should be as a businessman.

As far as him as president, I don’t think so. Again, he’s out for himself. He likes money, lots of money.

Let us keep in mind that Trump has the financial where-with-all to establish a media frontier that could ^literally^ dis-establish the current MSM.

IF (and that's a BIG IF) Trump recognizes his "media clout", he may also be recognized as "liberal who got mugged".

Mr. Trump, if you're reading, give Jim Rob and the rest of the FReepers a ping.We can help establish a Constitutionally and Free-Market focused media. Beginning on-line and usurping the institutionalized socialist/communist media lapdogs.

Else-wise, I'm barking at the (Passover!) moon.

Bingo. The unduly panicked seem to think we have hay seeds for brains. Trump is clearing some brush for the rest of our field and I for one up to now have enjoyed every minute of it. When he blows up I’ll be done and with his clinically proportioned self love that is bound to happen soon.

Until then I wish the panicked would just give it a rest and enjoy the diversion, the major headache, fury, time, money and expense Trump has been costing this White House and the fifth column, aka mainstream media. If we get too stinky he will run Independent and it will hurt us. (Realizing he may do that anyway.)

::: He likes money, lots of money. :::

And this is different from Obamugabe, how? He sees the US Treasury as his personal campaign fund!

Trump’s billions can short-circuit that position.

If the best thing Anti-Trumps can say is that “He’s just after money for himself” then he will fit right in with all the professional politicians currently in office. Since Trump is not a member of the Professional Politicians Guild expect a lot of attacks from the Pubbie establishment as well as the Rat machine. They don’t want a Palin or a Trump or anyone who would rock the gravy boat.. The last thing they want is someone in office who would actually try to improve things. They’ve got a nice little scam going and no mavericks are allowed.... just faux-mavericks. notice how Boehner and his cult of looters cleverly worked the recent budget bill to pretend to have real tax cuts while in fact have less than a billion. At least that’s the last I saw. Less than a billion. Boehner and his culties are as evil a the Rats.

We all know that Soro's money is behind the current marxist regime & we also know that none of the current to-be conservative candidates have the money, the clout or the guts to take on Obama & Soro's!

That being said, I don't care what form our Knight on the White Horse takes, if it's Trump, then so be it, but we have needed someone to step up & call the Left honestly, on what they are doing to our country! Not only does Trump have the money, but he is well connected here & abroad. If he takes down the Liar in Chief, more power to him & I will be doing the Happy Dance!

If he takes down the biased MSM along with them, even MORE power to him. His voice will be heard, the MSM won't report on Palin or Bachman or any other candidate but they have a hard time ignoring Trump. I say "shout it from the rooftops, Trump"!!!

Good Point, there are many anti-American forces behind Obama. Not every potential candidate will have the courage, money or toughness to take that on.

There is still a month before he even announces. He has actually brought some hope that the MSM progressive machine can be weakened.

I think many people expected a stronger stance from congress after November election. Wish they would fight more like Trump is talking.

I have no intention of voting for Trump. That being said, if he has any legitimate damaging evidence on Obama, he’d better divulge it soon. He’s past his “sell by date” and is growing stale.

“...if he has any legitimate damaging evidence on Obama, he’d better divulge it soon.”

My older brother and I over lunch yesterday concluded quickly when The Donald is going to bring Obama down with damaging evidence.

I’m not sharing. I’m not going to alert the enemy. This includes you.

P.S.

He will bring Obama down whether he, The Donald, runs or not runs for president.

I meant to do it this way:

“Is he a conservative or Republican in “name only”?”

I don’t want to find out the hard way, like an Obama voter.

Is Trump a conservative? Hell, no!!!

Listen to him for yourself. It’s astounding the way he’s playing us for fools:

Gatun, I can appreciate your position. I sincerely hope, for America’s sake, that you and your brother are correct, Thanks for sharing.

“And this is different from Obamugabe, how”

You made my point. He’s no different. He likes lots of money. He’s a conservative one year, a liberal the next, then a conservative again.

Sounds like a typical politician to me.

Oh yea, and they both LOVE the cameras.

There is no mystery. Trump is running interference for Obama, as McCain may have been doing. Why? Only a guess is that who would run his empire while he was busy playing politics? Trump can make more money holding Obama hostage to the truth of his ineligiblity.

Every citizen is either natural, or naturalized. Barack Obama told us “I am a native born citizen of the U.S.” Who had read Title 8, and would recognize that statement as one of the Title 8 Definitions for citizenship? Certainly not myself. Barack and his advisers counted on that. Title 8 is a law. A naturalized citizen is a citizen by law. Born on our soil of one citizen parent and one alien is from title 8. Naturalized citizens may hold every office but the presidency. (In England they are not permitted to be Members of Parliament) Title 8, based upon the 14th Amendment, does not and can not address citizens born of citizen parents on our soil. That is the definition, from our common law, of a citizen by nature, not addressed by man-made law. Laws can be changed. Nature cannot. From Chief Justice Morrison Waite in Minor v. Happersett:

At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens
