The Washington Establishment’s increasing angst and opposition to billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy is predicated on the notion that his highly-quotable catchphrases—“Take the oil!” or “Build a wall!”—lack substantive policy prescriptions to back them up. In short, the RINO caucus’ knock on Trump is that his solutions are unserious, unmeasured, quixotic.
Yet if the chattering class fears Trump’s recent surge in the polls, they will go into panic-filled paroxysms when they read Trump’s smart and serious bestseller, Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again.
Among Trump’s many bestselling, anecdote-filled books, Time to Get Tough (originally published in 2011) stands out as his most penetrating, serious, and detailed enunciation of his political philosophy and policy views. Trump says the it’s the “best book I’ve ever written” and is “better than The Art of the Deal.” Trump added, “It’s the hardest I’ve ever worked on a book. And it’s the most thought I’ve ever put into a book.”
It’s easy to see why. Backed up with nearly 250 endnotes, citing everything from Government Accountability Institute (GAO) reports to Sherman Antitrust Act amendments to the Theory of Moral Sentiments, Trump’s book clearly lays out serious policy solutions to vexing U.S. problems. Welfare reform, cyberwarfare, energy, illegal immigration and crime, taxes, healthcare, national defense—you name it, Trump offers his plans, often including specific bills and amendments. Best of all, Trump does it all in his refreshingly blunt and authentic voice—the very voice now resonating with a citizenry fed up with the Political Class and its conceits.
Detailed, innovative, and smart, Time to Get Tough rivals all other GOP presidential candidates’ books in both specificity and serious policy proposals. It’s a book to be read by conservatives and feared by Trump’s detractors.

Donald J. Trump has just five words for the politicians and so-called leaders in Washington, DC:
It’s Time to Get Tough
President Obama has been a disaster for America. In four short years, he’s wrecked our economy, saddled our children with more debt than America managed to rack up in 225 years, and gone around the world apologizing for our country—as if the greatest nation in the world needs to apologize for being a land of opportunity and freedom, which we were before Obama became president.
Now, America looks like a broken country—stripped of jobs, stripped of wealth, stripped of respect. And what does President Obama do about it? He plays nice with a China that is doing everything it can to destroy our economy, while refusing to stand up for America with Middle Eastern oil mobsters who think they can hold us hostage through higher prices at the pump, and chucking billions in “stimulus” money to his friends and supporters while letting the rest of us foot the bill.
This can’t go on. And if Donald J. Trump has anything to say about it, it won’t.
In his new blockbuster book, Time to Get Tough, Trump has the answers America has been looking for, an agenda for making America number one again, including:
How to put OPEC out of business
How to create American jobs by forcing Communist China into truly fair trade
How to retire our debt without endangering long-established programs—like
Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—that millions of Americans depend on
How to undo the fraud of Obamanomics and the disaster of Obamacare
Blunt, straightforward, and honest, it’s all trademark Trump, setting out a common sense agenda to restore American prosperity and make our nation respected once again.
Congress is every bit to blame as much as ValJar and her puppet.

Kewl!!
I have my copy ordered.
Does anyone seriously believe Donald Trump would govern as a conservative? Really? His true purpose seems to be to distract people from paying attention to Cruz.
Sucking off the backs of hard-working taxpayers is the name of the Clinton game. The opportunistic Clintons grab anything that isn't nailed down. They became multi-billionaires overnight selling off US ntl security to the highest bidder.
The Clintons would duplicate the Greek debacle fomented by cronyism and corruption. The Clintons have an army of workers lying in wait at the infamous Clinton Foundation. All of them salivating over the prospect of high-pay govt jobs and endless pensions and perks....courtesy of the taxpayers.
Keep in mind the Clintons, and their suck-ups, are not content w/ six-figure govt salaries, expense accounts, housing and clothing allowances and free travel. It's Greece all over again---high-paid govt factotums w/ dollar signs dancing in their heads.
ONE EXAMPLE OF A CLINTON WH APPOINTMENT: long-time Clintonista, Sid Blumenthal.
<><> the Clintons announce Blumenthal was hired by the Clinton Foundation to "promote Bill's presidential legacy," (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
<><> at the same time Blumenthal was tight w/ American Bridge and Media Matters — two Democratic groups aiding 2016 Hillary,
<><> dollar-crazed Blumenthal was also a paid advisor to US businesses seeking Libyan contracts (marketing his influence w/ Hillary's State Dept);
<><> buckeroo Blumenthal was secretly advising Secy of State Clinton about Libya @ $320,000 per year;
<><> suck-up Sid also pocketed $200,000 a year from Clinton political fixer, David Brock's, media operations.
Kindle is a beautiful thing :)
——We——
the problem is that the composition of we is not a large number.
I would argue that patience is in order.
The Trump message is being well received by many more than that of the Cruz message. When the trump filament burns out, there will be opportunity for a brilliant but not so intensely hot light to shine
His speech on Saturday was the most awesome throwdown on the DC establishment that I have ever seen. Anyone willing to call out everyone, the press, Dims, GOPe, etc. gets my vote.
Cruz gets nothing done.
Which is no doubt why Cruz has been fanboying Trump, hoping he’ll flameout.
So now Breitbart is shilling Trump’s books? Do they get a cut?
Trump sure is making it interesting….I still like Walker he has walked the walk…but Trump may reach a larger audience….
The man is one of one hundred senators. What do you expect him to do?
A President can't do everything (well, except for the current "President" who has been a dictator for years and has now transformed our country) and conservatives don't want a President with that much power anyway, but you can be sure he'd be better than a "moderate" businessman who's just producing a lot of heat at the moment. Do you honestly believe that Donald Trump would make a more conservative President than Ted Cruz?
Blumenthal's job is comparable to what cleaning crews would face in a dysentery ward... if they only had a toothbrush. and a hotel-sized bar of soap.
Ted is polling at 3%. He could have come out of the gate with Trumps stance on immigration. If he had, he would be #1.
Cruz is a libertarian true believer, he is not a conservative. Conservatives favor sticking with tried and true strategies and policies, look it up. They are in no way, shape, or form, flavor of the day type people, they are pragmatists.
I expect a president to be a leader capable of getting things done.
Trump is fairly horrible from certain standpoints, but he is a man who can get things done who by some miracle has not swallowed the globalism kool-aid and who gets that we don’t want leveraged out of existence.
your definition of Conservative is stagnatist
a conservative stagnitist is a loser
