Donald Trump's Crazy Las Vegas Speech: The Best Quotes

Seemingly believing himself to be on a victory lap after President Barack Obama released the long-form version of his birth certificate, providing more proof that he was born in the United States, reality TV star Donald Trump delivered an expletive-laden speech to Republicans in Las Vegas.

"Listen, you m************"

It was more of a 30-minute Ron White routine than a political speech. Those in attendance ate it up. After again taking credit for Obama’s release of his birth certificate, Trump called U.S. leadership “weak,” "incompetent,” and "stupid," among other things.

On foreign policy, he said 99 percent of Egyptians want to break the peace treaty with Israel. The real figure is 54 percent, but who's counting?

Here are some other top quotes:

• Citing the recent Rasmussen poll putting him ahead among likely Republican candidates: “And who’s number one? Trump!”
• On Saudi Arabia possibly cutting oil production: “Can you believe it? You’re going to be paying 5 and 6 dollars a gallon pretty soon, and they wanna go in and raise the price of oil, because we have nobody in Washington that sits back and says, ‘Listen, you’re not going to raise that fucking price.'”
• On Chinese President Hu Jintao’s visit to the U.S.: “When people are screwing you, you don’t give ‘em state dinners.”
• On China, monetary policy and diplomacy: “What we do is we sit down in my office for a couple of hours, we either make a deal where you stop manipulating your currency or not. If you make a deal, you can have a state dinner if you want. If you don’t make a deal, you take McDonald’s and you go home.”
• On his chances in 2012: “And, you know, there’s a good chance that no matter happens, I won’t win because one of these bloodsucking politicians who’s been bullshitting people for years will end up getting elected.”
• On giving military aid to foreign countries: “I’m interested in protecting none of them unless they pay us.”
• On giving up his television career to run for president: “It’s a great show. I’m gonna give a lot of stuff up. But you know what, it’s peanuts compared with the importance of this country.”
• He also suggested imposing a 25 percent tax on goods from China, though almost no economist thinks protectionism is a good idea. Here's how he said he would negotiate the deal: “You can have one man say [in a mouse-like voice], ‘We’re gonna tax you 25 percent,' and I can say [in his normal voice], ‘Listen you motherfuckers, we’re gonna tax you 25 percent.' You’ve said the same exact thing, but it’s a different message.”

No kidding.

Trump is a stalking horse or a Judas goat.

The old media is fueling the discord. Don’t buy it. The state-run media is as corrupt as BO.

[Neoliberalnot]

Job#1 is to get Obama out but lots of conservatives are not acting that way””

Exactly. The old media is fueling the discord. They hate all opposition to the Marxist tribesman and they will use every sneaking way to undermine Obamugabe’s opposition. See Zimbabwean history for the identical approach. None of BO’s opponents are hatefilled anti-Americans and therefore would be a vast improvement.

I believe that the old media is fueling the discord. They, and 0bama, want this horserace to start WAY too early. On this we agree, FRiend.

But I don't take my cues from them, and we have to play the cards we are dealt. I do not go very far out of my way to trash Trump. I have a little fun at his expense here on FR, and I debate with people like you who feel we should just STFU, but mostly I'm waiting for the debates because we can't make any intelligent decisions until we know just who is in the arena and what they stand for.

Next thing you know, drill instructors will be cussing the shit out of recruits!!!

Oh, wait a minute...

Trump is a stalking horse or a Judas goat.

Or a wealthy businessman who has been traditionally linked to the democrats because of the nature of his business and the people you have to deal with, but saw the light and came to realize that the political bedfellows he greased the palms of for years were a bunch of lunatics bent on destroying his country and finally had enough. There is that possibility too. My gut feeling tells me he is too animated, and confident of his views for it to be some sort of shallow put-on. Let him verbally tear Bam a new one, because evidently it is resonating with many people.

Anyone on your list is better than Trump, even the RINOs. At least most of them will govern like a conservative 50% of the time and they’re all Republicans. So what if he’s going after Obama. He’s the only candidate who taking on Obama? Big deal if he’s advancing Socialism as well.

If all he’s doing is help another gop win, then I have no problem with that. If all he’s doing is damage “dear leader”, then so what if Trump is damaged in the process as well

I can visualize a group of New Yorkers in a heavily paneled room in leather covered chairs discussing the events of the day. They concluded to a man, over their cigars and brandy, that Obama is killing their business and thus America, and must go.

Trump, the best known, even notorious member, of the group was put up to the task. Go get the President. Call him out. Smear him with all the various issues true and nebulous. Continuously drag him by the collar through the mud. You can do it.......

He accepted the challenge. He had the time, plenty of money and it would be a great way to combine fun with historical important action.

Trump has a lot to say and he has the guts to speak out. However to resort to the “F-bomb” and “mother-f-——” is extremely demeaning and will hurt him in the long run.

This article was written with a libbie slant but I like the Trump quotes here with and without the f-bombs

What Trump said didn't "stay in Las Vegas".

[Dixie Yooper]

X RATED because we know Obama is screwing the real America. He is currently screwing the conservative states of South Carolina --- (Boeing) Texas ---- on multiple fronts Louisiana --- oil drilling and production Alaska ---- oil drilling and production

Take a good look at what he's already done to Michigan. Rape and sodomy aren't harsh enough words to describe what Obama and his union goons are doing with what's left the BIG 3 and every person and business that depends on them.

[esoxmagnum]

I’m all for not allowing Romney or McCain on any ticket.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Anyone on your list is better than Trump, even the RINOs. At least most of them will govern like a conservative 50% of the time...

50% isn't good enough for me, I'm tired of that fallacious notion of giving the Democrats half of what they want from the Republicans...

If the Republicans don't attach a complete Obamacare repeal to the debt ceiling legislation and stick by it to the very end, they are finished...

Bashing Donald Trump for beating the media traitors like a cheap gong isn't doing them any favors.

Trump is more "conservative" than you are willing to give him credit for, he is taking it on all on his own... and his kids aren't a bunch of filthy pervert whackos either...

So, before you "Republicans" senselessly bash this guy and hope for his destruction, know that he is only in this because it is also a danger to him as well and he has a lot of money that could be helpful...

I only see one other Republican possible I would vote for and I think she might be a false hope...

I'm tired of the same old cast of characters, I hate the sex perverts, illegals, false capitalists of wall street, and the dopers...

NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THE NUMBERS AND THE ECONOMY...

[nolongerademocrat]

I’m tempted to say that the country should file for bankruptcy and reorganize under the authority of the British. It can’t possibly be worse than the Obama catastrophe.

[newzjunkey]

George Romney was born in Mexico but Mexico had banned "jus soli" citizenship (ironic considering they depend on our having it to colonize the U.S. via anchor babies). His parents were always American citizens so he inherited citizenship.

McCain's parents were American citizens and he inherited citizenship.

Let go back to 1916. Charles Evans Hughes, the Republican nominee, had a British subject for a father but had been born here. He was a citizen by jus soli and his mother's citizenship. However, Democrats raised the issue that he was not "Natural Born" because, like with Obama, the father was not a citizen at the time of the son's birth. Did he beat Wilson? No, so it was really a moot point and dropped.

If you wander back through our history, we consistently have elected presidents and vice-presidents who met both jus soli and jus sanguinis standards even with those having parents who themselves were originally foreign born. Chester A Arthur looks to be an exception based on a recently found archived document for his Irish father's naturalization. Only Chester's mother was a U.S. citizen when he was born. In his day the press were focused on whether Arthur'd been born in Canada or not. He lied, spoke half-truths and even destroyed documents. I do not know whether there were concerns about his father's later naturalization.

Why ask for the long form from Obama? The long form has more detail (hospital, doctor) than the CLB Obama had released before. People wanted to see the additional information because there had been so many claims and counterclaims. Obama refusing to release it made it appear as if he was trying to hide something. Some have questions about possible citizenship claims through his birth father as well as the adoption by the Indonesian Soetoro.

To honest, at 556 days from election day, I'm focused elsewhere. He's in there. We have one uncontrovertibly opportunity next year to throw him out. Heaven help us if he's reelected.

I would like to see eligibility bills in several states so future candidates can't play games on fundamental questions of qualification.

After reading about citizenship case law and reading the trend tea leaves, I'm of the opinion SCOTUS would say an anchor baby could be president and even a dual citizen could fit the "natural born" qualification. It's amazing how lax things are now.

On issues like this, they'd rather punt, leaving it to the voters, the Electoral College process and congressional certification.

While not where I'd set it, I believe SCOTUS would set the bar at excluding only naturalized citizens and non-citizens from the presidency.

[Melchior]

Trump was just trying to prove he had a black father.

[Neoliberalnot]

I’m waiting for the debates because we can’t make any intelligent decisions until we know just who is in the arena and what they stand for.””

In my humble opinion, debates are waste of air. Record of performance is the metric I use to gauge what a politician will do. Look at their background, view their achievements, and assess their historical record.

We have a common enemy of a free America and the bastard child of a kenyan tribesman is his historical record. This sick little man hates America, especially white America.

[4rcane]

50% is not good enough, so you want trump who is 0% conservative? What proof do you have that Trump is a conservative? You want it to be true so it must be true? Trump is against Paul Ryan Plan, he support higher taxes, universal healthcare, and was donating to democrats as early as last year against Tea Partiers

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Stop your slander, I heard Trump answer those questions on Hannity...

He is not my ideal guy, but lying about him doesn’t lend you any credibility at all...

Here is my version of your story. Us little people and little freepers and small entrepreneurs are not alone at being sick at what Obama and his communist thugs are doing to America. It is hurting us financially too
My theory is plenty of rich people, millionaires and billionaires are just as sick of Obama. Some may be Democrats. Some may have been stupid enough to vote for Obama.
My theory is these rich people have been talking to Donald Trump. Calling him up every day and promising him contributions if he runs. Promising to set up 501C3 orgs that can destroy the Kenyan fraud and help Trump. 
These rich Trump backers are from the oil patch, they are natural gas producers. They are coal producers. They are electricity producers. They are from manufacturing that would love to see a 25% tariff on Chinese goods, these rich people are farmers. These rich people are from New York finance too

My theory and hope is that Donald Trump will get so many favorable phone calls from America's rich producers that he will run. 
They will be pledging big money to beat the billion Obama is bragging about raising
