Trump's biggest enemy: Google

Poor Donald Trump. He really, really wants to leave behind his brash, vulgar, sexist and bigoted comments and be seen as presidential.

Trump told reporters as much last week, noting how easily he can pivot to be more presidential. "I'm very capable of changing to anything I want to change to," he said. He also vowed to "never" use "foul language" again on the campaign trail.

What has brought on this sudden change of heart?

Apparently Trump, much like countless past presidential candidates before him, wants to begin pivoting from more partisan positions in the primary to more moderate ones to help in the general election. Only in Trump's case, we are not talking a change in policy, but a change in persona.

Here's the thing, though: Trump could suddenly start acting like Prince Charming complete with white horse, but there's one big problem standing in the way of this chameleon transformation -- Google. Of course, YouTube and Twitter don't help him too much either, but Google is truly Trump's kryptonite.

Lets throw the self-funding guy over because we are acting child like?

Trump is not "self-funding". He is using donations and proceeds from the sale of campaign merchandise to pay for part of his campaign expenses, and he has "loaned" his campaign money for most of the other expenses. Of course, he expects to be paid back for his "loans" with interest from future donations. So the best you can say is that he is fronting his campaign the money that he expects to receive later. But that is not the same as "self-funding". If he were truly self-funding, he would not accept donations, and the money he is fronting his campaign would be donations from him, not loans.

Oh, and who is most of the money that the campaign is spending going to? Why right back to Donald and his companies! His campaign is renting office space from his own companies (at a hefty rate, I am sure). So win or lose, Trump's company stands to make money from his supporters.

That's why nobody can define him.

 

Quack, Waddle...

 

 

When an interviewer recently called Lady Gaga the "Billy Graham of pop," she claimed,

"I'm teaching people to worship themselves."

Rom 1:25-27
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator - who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. 
NIV

 

 

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.

 

It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.

 

The first stage being "demoralization".

 

It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. "

“AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE”

[Lagmeister]

maybe not, looking at the latest polls!

Ugh a singular public relations firm poll does not become a plural just because it is posted in this forum a dozen times. I gather you got confused thinking all those posts reflected multiple polling.

Perhaps a line from Jonathan Swift,"When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him."

[datricker]

okay well then why doesn't everyone else just do what you suggested and say the same thing. Because they are all so honest?

They might even be able to get Goldman Sachs to loan them the money.

Oh they can't because they do not have the funding in a bank account or assets with their name on them. Hmm but Donald does have the funding. And he is giving that funding to himself.

Pay the games you want but we can look stuff up on Federal Electional commission database too - as far as American presidential politics go Donald Trump is self funding.

Now you touch on an advantage he has that I mentioned from the very outset of his campaign when he was poo pooped pretty much everywhere. Physical assets and vast human resources. Luxurious little safe houses all around the country, a heavy jet, nice chopper and he has a staff of around 20,000 people.

I like advantages I also like job creators - makers not takers.

What have any of the other candidates actually made?

Not just Trump... One only needs to look up Heidi Cruz's article on the North American Community to see the obvious conflict of interest with her husband's policies. Here is a quote from the article she co-authored at the CFR: - By 2010, “Lay the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America. The three governments should commit themselves to the long-term goal of dramatically diminishing the need for the current intensity of the governments’ physical control of cross-border traffic, travel, and trade within North America. A long-term goal for a North American border action plan should be . . . the elimination of most controls over the temporary movement of these travelers within North America.“ See?

Hmm but Donald does have the funding. And he is giving that funding to himself.

No, he is not "giving" the money to himself - that would truly be self-funding. He is LOANING money to the campaign that he expects to be repaid with future donations, and PAYING much of that money back to his own companies, and then fooling his supporters by claiming he is "self-funding".

[lormand]

I would too, but I would have to hold my nose while I did it. Hitlery or Sanders would be a quick death of what is remaining of this Republic.

Donald Chump is a gamble, one decade is a rabid liberal, the next, what ever he decides. His Chump-drones don't care, as long as he act juvenile and classless.

[Axeslinger]

yep...i believe you’ve summed up the opposition to Ted Cruz perfectly.

[SaraJohnson]

I’d love to see him win and then punch global commie Google in the chomps.

[elhombrelibre]

Do you suppose he could sue them or launch airstrikes, would that be what you’re expecting?

[Stentor]

i predict we won’t make it to 5 comments before a trumpeter comes in denouncing the source of the article, the author or you for posting this.

It only took 3 for a Cruzberger to commence staring at the ceiling fan.

[C. Edmund Wright]

doing the same thing over and over excuse - when no one is suggesting that - is like carrying a huge sign that says “I HAVE NO RATIONAL ARGUMENT.”

Get back to me when you have an argument that is applicable. Until then love on your planned parenthood partial birth abortion pro big government pro TARP pro Stimulus pro bail out pro crony fake. You will be the embarrassed one.

[C. Edmund Wright]

And about 80% don’t like Cruz.

This is where you shouldn't try this at home without adult supervision. Many of the 80% have Cruz as second choice. The 60% against Donald will NEVER go there for the most part. PLUS, in context of the discussion, the point I made is bullet proof. I know I know...context is hard for double digit IQ

[combat_boots]

True. Rage forgives a lot of things. People are up beyond the tops of their heads done with DC and the corruption.

[C. Edmund Wright]

why don’t you post some proof of that...

[kjam22]

It would be nearly impossible for an objective person to spend a day googeling trump, to then honestly believe he is a political outsider

[pollywog]

"I'm very capable of changing to anything I want to change to," he said.

I cannot believe this.. he hasn't a clue WHO he really is...a exposed imposter.

[ripnbang]

Feel better?

[SaraJohnson]

There is plenty we can do to google.
