Is mobbed by thousands of fans and attacks 'worst-ever' Hillary and 'beholden to donors' Jeb Bush

Donald Trump arrived at Iowa State Fair in his Sikorsky S-76 helicopter Wearing a 'Make America Great Again!' cap, he held a press conference He said he would 'take care of people and 'bring back jobs' as president Also called Hillary Clinton 'the single worst Secretary of State in history' And he lashed out at opponent Jeb Bush for being 'a puppet to his donors' Trump said he had made 'no mistakes' in his presidential campaign so far -despite remarks about Mexican illegal immigrants and Fox's Megyn Kelly

He was mobbed by thousands of fans - more than other candidates were

Donald Trump was mobbed at Iowa State Fair on Saturday afternoon as he staged a grandiose entrance in his $7million helicopter and launched an all-out war on his 2016 presidential rivals. Shortly after 1pm, the GOP frontrunner arrived in his $7million Sikorsky S-76, landing in a parking lot near to the fairgrounds, which he had hired out so he could give free helicopter rides to children.

He then held a press event, during which he called Hillary Clinton the 'worst Secretary of State' in U.S. history, accused Jeb Bush of being a 'puppet to his donors' and asked: 'Who likes Obama?' Donning one of his now-famous 'Make America Great Again!'™ caps, and surrounded by children, Trump declared 'nobody' would meet the high standards that he would set if he was president. 'Voters like me, they know I'm doing to do the job,' he said, adding that he would 'bring back jobs', 'take care of people', tackle illegal immigration and 'be better to women' - unlike other candidates.

Ah, well, BTDT, and it shows the danger of 3rd parties, a lesson we ALL learned after that. I watched his ‘infomercials’ as well. Didn’t see many headlights on during the drive to work the morning after he called for that, though.

I am confused by the headline. Obama arrives by Marine helicopter most of the time (or a huge motorcade) and the headline never says that he stages a grandiose arrival - at least Trump is paying for his own helicopter.

I watched C-SPAM, off and on, today in hopes of catching Trump, in Iowa. When I first tuned in, ¡El Jeb! was on, a couple of hours later, Hellary was on.

I only got to see replays of Trump, as I must’ve timed it wrong, to catch him live.

What I noticed was how practically NO ONE was around ¡El Jeb! or Hellary...it’s like they had to force a few people to follow them around, and the sound and video quality were terrible.

Contrast that with Trump’s walk through the Iowa crowds...tons of folks were surrounding him, trying to get pics, shake hands, etc.

Yuge difference.

I think Trump should get SS protection at least as soon as 0bola got it.

He’s comfortable in his own skin and has mastered executive presence, although his trademark hair is easily caricatured. He doesn’t care, obviously, which is I suppose part of the charm.

If you look carefully, when he is ensconced in safety of Trump Tower or TV studio for interviews, his girth looks smaller wearing a suit. When out in public, he wears this fluffy jacket. He must be wearing a bullet proof jacket underneath. At least I hope he does.

Here is what happened to so called Clinton friends.

1- James McDougal - Clintons convicted Whitewater partner died of an
apparent heart attack, while in solitary confinement. He was a key
witness in Ken Starr’s investigation.

2 - Mary Mahoney - A former White House intern was murdered July 1997 at
a Starbucks Coffee Shop in Georgetown .. The murder happened just after
she was to go public with her story of sexual harassment in the White
House.

3 - Vince Foster - Former White House councilor, and colleague of
Hillary Clinton at Little Rock’s Rose Law firm. Died of a gunshot wound
to the head, ruled a suicide.

4 - Ron Brown - Secretary of Commerce and former DNC Chairman. Reported
to have died by impact in a plane crash. A pathologist close to the
investigation reported that there was a hole in the top of Brown’s skull
resembling a gunshot wound. At the time of his death Brown was being
investigated, and spoke publicly of his willingness to cut a deal with
prosecutors. The rest of the people on the plane also died. A few days
later the air Traffic controller commited suicide.

5 - C. Victor Raiser, II - Raiser, a major player in the Clinton fund
raising organization died in a private plane crash in July 1992.

6 - Paul Tulley - Democratic National Committee Political Director found
dead in a hotel room in Little Rock , September 1992. Described by
Clinton as a “dear friend and trusted advisor”.

7 - Ed Willey - Clinton fundraiser, found dead November 1993 deep in the
woods in VA of a gunshot wound to the head. Ruled a suicide. Ed Willey
died on the same day his wife Kathleen Willey claimed Bill Clinton
groped her in the oval office in the White House. Ed Willey was involved
in several Clinton fund raising events.

8 - Jerry Parks - Head of Clinton’s gubernatorial security team in
Little Rock .. Gunned down in his car at a deserted intersection outside
Little Rock Park’s son said his father was building a dossier on Clinton
He allegedly threatened to reveal this information. After he died the
files were mysteriously removed from his house.

9 - James Bunch - Died from a gunshot suicide. It was reported that he
had a “Black Book” of people which contained names of influential people
who visited prostitutes in Texas and Arkansas

10 - James Wilson - Was found dead in May 1993 from an apparent hanging
suicide. He was reported to have ties to Whitewater..

11 - Kathy Ferguson - Ex-wife of Arkansas Trooper Danny Ferguson, was
found dead in May 1994, in her living room with a gunshot to her head.
It was ruled a suicide even though there were several packed suitcases,
as if she were going somewhere. Danny Ferguson was a co-defendant along
with Bill Clinton in the Paula Jones lawsuit Kathy Ferguson was a
possible corroborating witness for Paula Jones.

12 - Bill Shelton - Arkansas State Trooper and fiancee of Kathy
Ferguson. Critical of the suicide ruling of his fiancee, he was found
dead in June, 1994 of a gunshot wound also ruled a suicide at the grave
site of his fiancee.

13 - Gandy Baugh - Attorney for Clinton’s friend Dan Lassater, died by
jumping out a window of a tall building January, 1994. His client was a
convicted drug distributor.

14 - Florence Martin - Accountant & sub-contractor for the CIA, was
related to the Barry Seal, Mena, Arkansas, airport drug smuggling case.
He died of three gunshot wounds.

15 - Suzanne Coleman - Reportedly had an affair with Clinton when he was
Arkansas Attorney General. Died of a gunshot wound to the back of the
head, ruled a suicide. Was pregnant at the time of her death.

16 - Paula Grober - Clinton’s speech interpreter for the deaf from 1978
until her death December 9, 1992. She died in a one car accident

17- And don’t ever forget about the 4 dead Americans of Benghazi!!!

I can’t recall any candidate since 1960 with the self confidence Trump radiates.

If your Perot vote was in 1992, don’t regret it.

Because the GOP was utterly shocked that 19% of the vote went to Perot, including mostly Bush vote, we got Newt Gingrich, the Contract with America, and the GOP won the 1994 mid terms, gaining the House for the first time in 40 years.

In 1996, the GOP ran Bob Dull. Show you how much they learned.

Now we have given the GOP the House AND the Senate.

And they still piss on us.

Trump/Cruz 2016.

I made similar observation to your post a few weeks back here. There are no rich donor sugar daddy’s to satisfy in case of Trump. He has enough money so next HUNDRED generations of Trumps can EACH inherit $100 million. So more money at age 69 is no big deal and can’t be the motivation.

The only motive I can see is wanting to leave behind a legacy of having restored the country to be great again.

Reagan had a different personality. He made you feel warm and fuzzy inside with his speeches. He had quiet inner confidence. Trump reminds me more of general Patton. Totally fearless, totally confident of victory.
