Donald Trump: ‘I Will Be the Greatest Jobs President That God Ever Created’
Pajamas Media ^ | 06/16/2015 | Bridget Johnson

Declaring to be “the greatest jobs president that God ever created,” billionaire Donald Trump entered the Republican presidential contest today as its 12th candidate.

Trump went way off script for the long announcement in New York, starting off with a dig at Rick Perry’s sweaty airplane hangar announcement.

“Some of the candidates, they went in. They didn’t know the air-conditioner didn’t work. They sweated like dogs… How are they going to beat ISIS? I don’t think it’s gonna happen,” he said.

Mexico, he said, is “laughing at us, at our stupidity” as they import drugs and “rapists” into the United States. “And some, I assume, are good people,” Trump added, vowing to build a wall on the southern border and make Mexico pay for it.

“Islamic terrorism is eating up large portions of the Middle East. They’ve become rich. I’m in competition with them. They just built a hotel in Syria. Can you believe this? They built a hotel. When I have to build a hotel, I pay interest. They don’t have to pay interest, because they took the oil that, when we left Iraq, I said we should’ve taken,” he said, referring to the hotel ISIS refurbished and opened in Mosul.

Trump called the other Republicans in the very wide field “wonderful people.”

“They all want me to support them. They don’t know how to bring it about. They come up to my office. I’m meeting with three of them in the next week. And they don’t know — ‘Are you running? Are you not running? Could we have your support? What do we do? How do we do it?’ I like them. And I hear their speeches. And they don’t talk jobs and they don’t talk China,” he said.

“We have to repeal Obamacare, and it can be replaced with something much better for everybody. Let it be for everybody. But much better and much less expensive for people and for the government. And we can do it.”

Trump said when Obama was elected he thought the young president “would be a great cheerleader.”

“But he wasn’t a cheerleader. He’s actually a negative force. He’s been a negative force. He wasn’t a cheerleader; he was the opposite,” he added.

Some of his platform points?

He advocated sending “real junk” military aid, since the U.S. is “always losing this gorgeous brand-new stuff” to groups like ISIS.

To fight ISIS, he vowed to “find the General Patton or I will find General MacArthur, I will find the right guy. I will find the guy that’s going to take that military and make it really work. Nobody, nobody will be pushing us around.”

“I will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. And we won’t be using a man like Secretary Kerry that has absolutely no concept of negotiation, who’s making a horrible and laughable deal, who’s just being tapped along as they make weapons right now, and then goes into a bicycle race at 72 years old, and falls and breaks his leg. I won’t be doing that. And I promise I will never be in a bicycle race. That I can tell you.”

Trump also took a swipe at Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). “Then I looked at Rubio. He was unable to answer the question, is Iraq a good thing or bad thing? He didn’t know. He couldn’t answer the question,” he said. “How are these people gonna lead us? How are we gonna — how are we gonna go back and make it great again? We can’t. They don’t have a clue. They can’t lead us. They can’t. They can’t even answer simple questions. It was terrible.”

He also slammed Jeb Bush: “Bush is totally in favor of Common Core. I don’t see how he can possibly get the nomination. He’s weak on immigration. He’s in favor of Common Core. How the hell can you vote for this guy? You just can’t do it.”

“…This is going to be an election, in my opinion, that’s based on competence,” because “people are tired of these nice people.”

Just posted this thought on another thread:

If Trump was really serious - he would have declared himself a Democrat and taken on Hillary Clinton for the DEM nomination.

One upside to Trump throwing in... at least this time the other GOP candidates won’t be lining up in a pilgrimage to Trump Tower begging on their hands and knees for his support.

Making "job creation" the goal of the presdent is counterproductive. Making strict adherence to the Constitution and to free markets and deregulation and detaxification of American business accompanied by radical shrinking of government employment the paramount goal will accomplish galloping prosperity and a vanishing unemployment rate.

Huh??? If a candidate was advised the AC went out at his venue and he said "F*** it, I've got a job to do" and went ahead and sweated it out I would consider that a plus not a minus.

True story: one time I was getting on an elevator in New York City. Two men in suits and sun glasses came up to me and told me to get off the elevator. I thought, by the looks of them, that some important government official was getting on and that I had to get off for security reasons so I did. But no, it was Donald Trump and his monumental ego who didn’t want to share the elevator with any peons like me.

Hearing the spats with Rosie O’Donnell would almost be worth electing him.

I really enjoyed him hammering down on that vile pig.

"Guess he was taking a swipe at Perry?"

But what's the "swipe"? Perry being willing to sweat it out with no AC impresses me, I don't take it as a knock on him. You know Hillary would just cancel the event rather than sweat for an hour with no AC.

I think he would keep his word on:

Repealing Obamacare, building a wall on the southern border and having Mexico pay for it, creating jobs, strengthening the military, no amnesty and funding social security.

But...I don’t think he gets the nomination.

8 billion bucks of net worth proves something from someone who has been bankrupt more than once. “Get ‘er done Donald!”

****Donald Trump and his monumental ego****

I watched his speech with a neighbor. He has as big an ego as The One. Enough with these self-absorbed egotistical morons.

I like Scott Walker’s quiet dignity and Rick Perry’s self-deprecating humor. Neither one are egotists - both just recall their humble beginnings and governing records.

There was no room for both you and his ego on the elevator.

RE: someone who has been bankrupt more than once.

The USA is in reality , bankrupt if you really looked carefully at our liabilities and obligations.

I wonder if Trump can help change that situation.... My bet is he’ll soon find that running the government is ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE different from running the Trump Organization.

I agree. When the NY Post plastered pics of a sweating Perry, making his announcement in a (un-airconditioned?) hangar, I thought “so what!”. That’s all they’ve got? That’s the only thing I can think The Donald was referring to.

Trump has a really big ego but at some level he can back it up and a lot of what he says makes sense!!!

OK, How’s he going to deal with China again? I think he’ll increase tariffs and cause a trade war.

I’d really like to see if such a policy will bring back American jobs.

“Peon” is a story that you made up about yourself. Trump’s security might have simply sized you up as a creepy security threat.
