EXCLUSIVE: TRUMP CALLS CLUB FOR GROWTH ‘A PACK OF THIEVES’
Breitbart ^ | August 29,2015 | by MICHAEL PATRICK LEAHY

Posted on 08/29/2015 2:24:06 PM PDT by Hojczyk

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, GOP front runner Donald Trump is firing back at the Club for Growth.

“They’re a pack of thieves,” Trump told Breitbart News as he was leaving Nashville’s Rocketown facility. He had just finished delivering a high-energy speech to an overflow crowd of more than 1,000 people.

Trump was attending the annual convention of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies, which describes itself as “the grassroots Republican wing of the Republican Party.”

“They [the Club for Growth] came to my office looking for money. I turned them down. That’s why they’re after me,” Trump told Breitbart News.

Earlier in the week, the Club for Growth attacked Trump for his proposal to penalize Ford Motor Company for putting a car manufacturing plant in Mexico rather than Tennessee.

“Donald Trump’s threat to impose new taxes on U.S. car companies will hurt the American economy and cost more American jobs,” David McIntosh, President of the Club for Growth, said in a statement.

“It should thrill liberals and Democrats everywhere that Trump wants to create new taxes and start a trade war to force American companies to work where he demands,” McIntosh added.

Trump stopped specifically to address Breitbart’s question as he moved down the exit aisles surrounded by throngs of supporters.

“I love Breitbart News. This is going to be a good question,” Trump said.

Trump did not pull any punches when asked if he had a message for the Club for Growth in response to its attacks.

Other candidates might shy away from calling out their critics so bluntly as “a pack of thieves,” but for Trump it was just another opportunity to take the battle to the opposition.

Whaaa? If my taxes or costs would be 50% less somewhere you’re saying my choice to maximize profit is equivalent to selling out American brothers and sisters? That’s stupid.

No, it’s selling out Americans to prevent business from wanting to be here. If business is punished for attempting to maximize profit, business will leave. See how stupid it is to punish the raisin d’être for business?

So the goal should be to make the environment support maximal profit here. Then our business will stay and others will come,

I’m pretty sure you wish fr had an edit button...your post was awfully stupid.

“Instead of promoting your guy, all you seem to be capable of is trolling Trump threads dropping you little stink bombs.

You sound like a bitter, little A-hole”


Your little screed is highly reminiscent of the zombies who lusted for Obama in 2008 and screamed “RACIST” at anyone who dared speak up in opposition. You really ought to check that, sport.

I read somewhere where he reportedly sleeps four to five hours a night. He does seem to have more energy than people one-third his age as well as extremely organized. Appears his staff functions like a well organized, competent machine.

They want to ship American industries overseas, depriving Americans of jobs.

Club For Growth said that? Link?

They aren’t going to say that directly.

So you made it up?

Abolish the income tax and the Corporate taxes and cut in half or 1/4th the amount of environmental and BS labour regulations we have

Wouldn't argue!

At the very minimum, repeal the Administrative Law Act so that anyone who writes a law that drags us down can be dis-elected. The biggest problem is bureaucrats writing laws with no recourse from us.

. One of the reason America is so great is FREE TRADE

What's not to like. Mexico got our jobs and we got 40 Million parasites to take care of. /s

These trade agreements are only to help the One World Government families that are above politicians, like the Rockefellers. At the Bildeberg meeting in 1992 David Rockefeller walked up to Bill Clinton and asked him what he thought about NAFTA. Clinton replied, "If it's important to you, Mr Rockefeller, it's important to me." Rockefeller replied, "Thank you, Mr President." Since NAFTA the Mexican wage has gone up 2%, that's over 20 years. Now there are millions of Mexicans coming to America because there are no jobs.

Funny how people forget that. The Founders lived it all.

They came from a Europe that had customs tolls every 10 miles as each Duchy exacted a price for anyone crossing their dirt. Even on the Rhine...

Extending that to the world is a pleasant conceit but it requires world government to make rules of the road: thus we get the WTO, GATT, UN, etc...and that’s what I meant by not being interested in including all the ranting Orks in making rules for us. And supposedly the Congress is supposed to negotiate the interstate rules. That’s why they exist in the first place.

The U.S. by itself is just fine. Right size, good resource base, smartest people on the planet settled it.

No need to roll the dice on that.

Cars built in the 50’s were relatively cheap in that an average guy could do 90% of his own work on the car. Rust was the big issue then for sure, but style wise the 50’s cars blow away the egg shaped neuter-mobiles we drive around in now.

Ah the Free Traitor™, he dreams that America can once again be an agrarian society exporting food stuff and raw materials and importing finished goods. Those were the days. /sarc

I would argue that "little" is not the correct adjective.

Trump deserves this attack.

Raising taxes on businesses because they don’t behave the way one wants is a Leftwing concept.

Infact Trump has businesses overseas which makes his denouncement of Ford hypocritical.

If Trump is the nominee he will get hammered on his businesses in Europe, Asia etc.

Note to Trump supporters Trump does not do business soley in the US.

And we the people also have the right to demand tariffs to protect us from Free Traitors™. So far your anti American side has won the battle. We will see who wins in the end won't we.

What is odd is that for 50 years the Free Traitors™ have owned the issue with no opposition at all. Low and behold a little opposition springs up and they go Hermitile. Me thinks they protest to much.

Perhaps Free Traitors™ know their arguments really do not stand up to scrutiny. And require the corruption, misinformation and bribery of the federal government to "work".

constitutional Article I, Section 8-ilmited powers.

Those limited powers include levying duties on imports and regulating trade with foreign countries. Trump is right, and you are wrong.
