The American dream is dead, but I will bring it back: Donald Trump announces for President
Daily Mail ^ | 16 Jun 15 | Spargo & Corcoran

Donald Trump is running for president. The multi-billionaire announced his presidential plans today from his namesake tower in New York City. Trump, 69, was introduced by his daughter Ivanka as he formally declared his 2016 intentions, descending down an escalator with wife Melania to speak to the gathered crowd. In his remarks he attacked the Obama administration on everything from immigration and terrorism to Obamacare and the job market as he promised to bring back the American dream. He also released his financial information, revealing a net worth of $8.7billion.

'We need somebody that literally will take this country and make it great again. We can do that,' said Trump. I will be the greatest jobs president God ever created 'Ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our country great again.'

As for what he could do for the country, Trump said he would be the 'greatest jobs president God ever created.' He then added; 'The fact is, the American Dream is dead - but if I win, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before.'

As for Obamacare, Trump called the program a 'disaster.' 'ObamaCare must be repealed and replaced with something far superior and at far less cost,' he said in his remarks.

Trump also put much of the focus of his speech on the issue of immigration.

The fact is, the American Dream is dead - but if I win, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before. 'It is way past time to build a massive wall to secure our southern border - and nobody can build a bigger and better wall than Donald Trump,' said Trump.

In all honesty Trump is the only candidate who has bluntly said that the illegals coming here are not like you and me. They are the dregs of society of Mexico and C America. Its true and they have to be stopped.

Trump actually wants to build a physical fence and stop them from coming. None of the other candidates is going to do that or even promise to do it. They are owned by big business donors. The truth can be a troublesome thing.

Trump is running for Trump.
He may be doing it for more reasons but be sure he knows there’s something in it for him. More popularity for the next reality show - who knows.

I hope he makes the cut for the top 10 for the August debate and I hope his money peels votes from Rinos and Rand.

“I wouldn’t vote for him if he gave me all 9 billion.”

Sure you will. If you voted for Willard and I’ll just bet you did you will vote for Trump. So will most Freepers when the chips are down. :-)

And when Trumps 9 Billion fortune is threatened by the companies doing business with him/his companies, and lets face facts, he will still run his holdings regardless of front companies saying they do it for him, how fast do you think he will evolve his position?

Trump has no choice but to put his holdings in a Blind Trust if elected.

Yea. Good luck with that unicorn. Just like Jonbon and Mitch and Hillary’s stock fortunes had no input from them.

Who believes that? Seriously.

I’m getting in trouble here for saying positive things about Trump. Be careful. Those who’ve chosen their messiahs already, won’t dismantle their newly formed religions very easily.

To clarify...

“Hi Pres. Trump? This is Jon Smith of XYZCorp. I want you to know that I oppose the fence and will be taking the 500M we spend with your former companies elsewhere to companies that share my vision. Have a nice day.”

I wasn’t aware that we were claiming anyone was Jesus. Isn’t it early in the cycle for that worn out claim?

Trouble is my middle name. :-)

When or if Trump gets nominated 90% of the Freepers will vote for him. If we all voted for McStain and Mitt we can vote for Trump. I have no problem with Trump other than waiting see how his poll numbers go. I think he is going to expose these wishy washy politicians in the debates. Can’t wait.

I will never forget the social issues. 1. Life is a RIGHT given by God and guaranteed in our Constitution. It is NOT an issue at all. It's a Right. 2. Homosexual marriage is a violation of God's law and a destroyer of cultures, and a rejection of Nature's God. I will never vote for a supporter of homosexual marriage. Period. So, who's left standing in November 2016? Hopefully, the republican candidate will be pro-life, pro-natural family, pro-gun, pro-God, pro-Defense, pro-fiscal sanity, pro-controlled immigration, and pro-American exceptionalism.

If so, then I'll vote for that person OR someone close and pro-life, pro-natural family.

Didn’t say they were claiming anyone was Jesus.

They have ‘anointed’ their candidate as the one any only to lead us through the political wilderness. A literal translation of both Messiah (Hebrew) and Christ (Greek) is ‘anointed’.

Newsflash. You think he needs to build things? Ask the goy hotel dudes if they are above getting their non wiget hotel hurt. Oh yea, Trump is in that business heavily himself...

Oops.

Trump doesn’t need to bring the dream back - he needs to take away the nightmare...

Word games are cute but we all understand what you meant. Its the same bull the lesser evils pulled with Mitt.

Go ahead and find me this group of people that would never vote for anyone more conservative than Cruz. I’ll wait. You say they exist? Go find them.

Norm you know you will vote for Trump if he gets the nomination. Just like you voted for Willard and McStain. So save the outrage for somebody who’s buying it. LOL!

And stop with the phoney posts that anybody is going to boycott Trump’s business’s. Its a ridiculous argument. Nobody but you believes it.
