TRENDING: Trump's f-bomb tirade
(CNN) – Real estate mogul Donald Trump served up a profanity laced speech to Republican supporters in Las Vegas Thursday night, attacking American policies and continuing his flirtation with a run for the GOP presidential nomination. At a reception hosted by two Republican women's groups at the Treasure Island Casino, Trump acknowledged he is not the typical candidate for president, and may lose in 2012, but is still serious about a bid for the White House. Trump, who has said he will decide by June whether to run for president, also criticized the price of oil in his remarks, one of the mantras adopted by the reality TV star of late. "They (OPEC) want to go in and raise the price of oil because we have nobody in Washington that sits back and says you're not going to raise that f-ing price, you understand me?" Trump said. He also boiled down the war in Iraq for the conservative crowd. "We build a school, we build a road. They blow up the road. They blow up the school. We build another school, we build another road, they blow them up," Trump said. "We build again, in the meantime we can't get a f-king school built in Brooklyn." Trump, who was in the Silver State to attend the wedding of billionaire casino owner Steve Wynn, has spent the last two months questioning the president's birth place, an issue largely put to rest Wednesday when President Obama released the long-form version of the certificate. Nevada may have an influential role in shaping the race for the GOP presidential nomination, with its caucus scheduled third in the primary and caucus calendar. We recommendFrom around the web |

And that's the GOP's #1 candidate right there... shows what that party is about.
This malignant megalomaniac and narcissistic neanderthal needs to talk responsibly, lest he will lose the support of his own henchmen and sycophantic stooges.
He may have used profanity but he told the truth. It is what it is. Starting to like this guy more and more. No phony political grandstanding. He says it like it is and how he feels.
WHY on earth are Republicans even considering this guy as a candidate? It makes no sense! Come on Republicans, give us someone, ANYONE who is moderate and has some sense. Trump is a total joke.
Go Donald Forrest Gump !!!
Now can we see your tax returns you promised to releaser if Obama provided his birth certificate.
PS.... Were you concerned how George W Bush got into Yale with grades that he nearly flunked out of higgh school on?
yeah, and i'm sure OPEC will listen......
What a classless bloviated blowhard. He will never be president.
sorry trump...not good enough American President behaviour!!!
Hint to CNN; STOP giving this guy constant media attention, that is what will make him go away.
What's that I hear? Is that Trump's chances of a nomination being destroyed? Yes, I think so!
Anyone that takes this talking hairpiece seriously should be sent to psychiatric hospital for extensive tests. Hey Trump..since you won't get the GOP nomination, run as an independent. Your sheep will follow you over the cliff as Obama is elected in a landslide
He's a whiner. The man has offered no solutions. He has no clue how the real world works. OPEC does not set the price, the markets do. OPEC can control how much they produce, which can have a major effect price, but OPEC does not set nor directily control the price.
Remember the time Bush went to Saudi Arabia to negotiate higher production back in 2008 when we were paying $4 at the pump? His request was declined. A Democrat promising and end to wars got elected, Saudis and Kuwaitis increased their production, the price of oil plummeted and we had $2 gas by Obama's inauguration day. Remember?
Gee, real "presidential" speech there, Trump. There's no place in the White House for egotistical thugs, and that's what you are.
Republicans appear incapable of selecting candidates who might represent America in the world arena. This guy should be fleecing marks in a carnival sideshow. His daddy gave him money but he failed to give him class – except for the low variety.
The phrase "what you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying" comes to mind.
What? This suppose to be America's hero for president? 'PRAVDA won't really let me say what I want to say.
With his best qualification for presidency, I think, he should run for it from GOP.....way to go.....Trump, do not lose your grip on it...go for it....
What a disgrace!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really. A women's group, when has he even respected the women he was married to, and you guys want him to represent the GOP?! What about the Evangelical sect of the GOP, are they going to support him and his foul language. I was always taught the use of profanity shows an ignorant mind that cannot express itself intelligently. Sorry "The Blacks" will pass on Mr. Trump.
If it hasn't been made seriously clear to everybody that Trump has NOTHING, then you need to check your vitals. This egomaniac has nothing left behind his debunked Plan A – conspiracy theories other than lying about how the oil industry works to people that know better. And of course, being in business – Donald himself knows better. The oil industries around the world are in it for PROFITS. The US oil industry is not government controlled. No US President has ever had control over gas prices at any time. No president. Trump knows this. He is just blowing hot air for attention.
Tell it like it is Trump!!!
you have my vote – time to get rid of the "life-long" poloticians with "more of the same"
curse, kick, scream... you're the most refreshing voice since Perot!!!!
TRUMP 12!!!!!
This guy has made himself so so big FOOL. Before is say he willl win now he is not product for the presidency and will not win. All we asking is to open his books. the president has open tot he public his private doc-birth certificate now the BIG FOOL MUST do what he promised.
Real Presidential, Mr. Trump.
Can CNN start putting any story with Donald Trump's name under the Entertainment Section instead of Politics?
The fact that he is being taken seriously is an indicator that the country has already gone to hell. I live in NYC, and the Trump I see is one who before they even went to trial took out full page ads in the local papers and demanded the death penalty for 5 or 6 kids accused(accused mind you not convicted) of raping a woman in Central Park. When they were later exonerated by DNA and the confession of the true perpetrator, no apology from Trump. The Trump I have seen is a bully who pushes around those who cannot defend themselves, takes pride in cheating others and generally loses money for his investors. As for really running for POTUS all I hear is chickens clucking.
Again with the bad hair, can we please stop reporting, stop following this clown around.
Trump was right. Our media is over protective of Pres. Obama. They treat him like a small child unable to take care of himself. Pres. Obama blinks but that does not stop our media from spinning it.
This very strange and repugnant man does not stand even a long-shot chance of getting on the ballot. All his posturing and posing is nothing more than an attempt at free publicity for another one of his bankrupt schemes, his TV show.
Oh yes, he's presidential material. Can you imagine this low-class boor meeting heads of state?
Donald Trump, Really? This man is....I am speechless. Who would entertain having him as the nations president? So what he has money and knows how to make it. So do pimps, mobsters and drug dealers. Does that make him capable of running the country....NOT.
sorry- i meant to write Politicians..
Finally a candidate with a “backbone” who’s going to shoot first and then ask questions!!
I love it!! Go Trump!
If Trump were a smarter person, I'd think this was all a big prank to make fools of Republicans by getting them to destroy their credibility by embracing an obviously ignorant, no-class, multiple-bankruptcy clown as a serious contendor. But, since Trump is well-established as a narcissist, I don't think he's trying to punk them.
But that's okay – the end result is the same, because Republicans are looking pretty hilarious now because of the figureheads they've been gathering around. Palin, Glenn Beck, and now this complete joke. They lose more legitimacy every day. That's good, though – whatever's bad for the Republican party is good for America. You need look no further than the results the deeply-red Southern states have gotten for their decades of electing Republicans to know their policies don't work.
So what if he said f***?? This is not 1950! Some people get pissed off at the fact that there is no regulation on these ABSURD gas prices!! It's all so true! Trump would be a good candidate because he can't be corrupted. What else do we have to lose?? Not jobs, houses, or money because George W took that off everybody's hands. Obviously Obama can't do anything. He's had long enough. He made all these promises when running for office, but has done NOTHING!! I have never liked Republican's or Donald Trump, but why not give him a shot? He's had some very good points and ideas so far! Something has to be done before there ends up being another civil war in this country. Only this time it won't just be the south rising up, it will be all 50 states!!
If you dont like the price of oil, stop buying oil and invest in green energy. Price will come down.... Oops, wrong suggestion to drill baby drill crowd
Put these two old toads (Wynn & Trump) and their money on a remote island, with no help from anybody, and see how well they do by themselves. . . . That is the true test of what makes real survivors and leaders.
And I thought he was all about quality......
Big F ing surprise! And Trump is going have control of the oil market? As a business tycoon he SHOULD understand that the market on oil is driven up by the futures speculators not the F ing white house.
After the wedding Trump trampted back to his penthouse suite, kicked off his clown shoes, put away his wig, and wallowed around in a sty filled w/ fresh hay and $100 bills.
Well, he is right about the schools being blown up and rebuilt, roads built and blown up....but that's about it. He might have money, but not an ounce of class or intelligence. He has money. Nothing else.
And in the meantime, Trump "The Hair" is busy blowing hot air overhere.
Why wait, Mr. Trump. Are you planning to grow a pair between now and June? Why don't you back up all your big mouth talk and jump in the mix right now....today! Otherwise, go sit down and shut up, you moron.
This guy is ONE CLASS ACT, eh???
Dropping "F" bombs in a speech hosted by two women's groups???
ROFLMAO
I don't believe his bid for the White House is to help the American people, but only to help himself. Think about it... this man strongly opposes raises taxes on the rich. I wonder why?
If he were to become president, he work hard to fleece the rest of America for own best interests.
The stupid US leaders should learn from the Donald, taking advantages of the system, filed bankruptcy FOUR times.
Personally, I think Trump is the PERFECT candidate for the republican party. He embodies all the traits of the republican party and what it has become.
Go ahead and run. Please. Obama in a cakewalk. Won't even have to campaign.
He's never going to get the Republican nomination by giving speeches with the f-bomb. I agree with him about the price of oil, but we just can't go to OPEC and scream at them not to raise the prices. He is just looking for publicity.
Donald Chump is lame excuse for "news" – he is an inarticulate media hog oblivious to his own ridiculous appearance and he is purposefully filling the gap for the GOP congressional do nothings who are still serious contenders for a run but who remain afraid to announce. Donald loves the press coverage, especially as his show tanks due to the idiots he decided to showcase. He is a joke and would never survive the release of his financials..
Pure Entertainment!!! "ORANGE JULIUS" is a disgrace to everything he has been, is, and could ever be. The filthy "F-Bombs" are a marvelous icing on the walking septic tank, which is Donald Trump.
"Run, Orange Julius, Run!!!"
Mr. Class ----- funniest thing "At a reception hosted by two Republican WOMEN'S groups...."
Trumpis a wealthy jerk.
Dignity. Above all, dignity.
Presidential timber, for sure!
This from the man who would be president? We need someone with a lot more self-control and diplomacy.
Any human that thinks this egomaniac is good for the US can go join his crazy train. The rest of us will watch you morons go down in flames right along with him. Look at him. He's not in control of himself and he would not have control of this country. The GOP are becoming more foolish every day.
He's not going to run.
Well. He surely has his lacey-words appropriately placed. Not too worry, he deliberately raised eyebrows when he used them. However, he is a very diplomatic man, and in the end, he's right. I'd vote for Trump. We need somebody out of the mainstream of polictics, somebody who isn't afraid to say what needs to be done, somebody who doesn't care about who or who doesn't "like" him.
Things will change.......President Trump's first press conference...........a new relaxed atmosphere......
The first question..........."Mr President, what the f* are you going to do about the f*ing economy?"
President Trump......."Well, that's a f*ing good question............."
Some President this goof would make. Dropping F bombs in public to a bunch of GOP women. Why isn;t Fox news up in arns over not one but two times he spoke the word?? if it was Biden ior Obama or even Huckabee there would be a big stink. Notice you Repubnerds, CNN did not jump on these remarks. So I guess they are not as liberal as you would think eh? This Trump, what a pompous ass. He acts like a real World leader. The Brits have a royal weding and we get Humpty Trumpty.
Stay classy, Donald.
and he is talking presidency, LOL
Let's see those personal financial statements you promised Donald! And, oh by the way...how about YOUR SCHOOL TRANSCRIPTS..... informed voters want to know and hold you to your promises or, are you just like any other overstuffed, BS filled, pompous politician?
"Thanks Donald for all you do"---- signed, The Democratic Party
I'd expect nothing less from side show Donald, I hope I never see him around the city because I will have a few choice words for him myself.
I can't wait to see how crappy our foreign relations would be if Trump was in office. We would have no allies!
"An issue largely laid to rest." It has never been an issue, except among the lunatic fringe
What doubt is there? News organizations like CNN who coyly play along with the birther nonsense enable fools like Trump.
trump is such a loser! he has NO class and loves to talk down to people. but he is only making the republicans look like fools. i believe trump is nother more than a racist who cant believe that a black man can get into harvard let alone become president. you would never here bill gates acting like that. most republicans knew that the president was born here in the states,even mrs clinton knew that. and now for him trump to say he feels good blah blah blah.... HEYmr trump you were wrong, and still wont even admitt it.how many other president have mr trump ask to see there bc? or school records?
Why CNN do you keep adding stories about Donald Trump, if he saids that he is going to run for office, and reporters begin asking him questions, which he actually answers...than you should run that story, Trump answers a question. This is crazy!
This country needs a "straight shooter" to clean up the mess our elected officals failed to deliver after getting our vote. Donald was not born rich, he doesn't back down on important issues. He understands that China and the Arab nations will soon control our country. He takes pride in being an American, understands we need a strong leader to step in and get the job done. I think Obama is overwhelmed and should resign. I can't believe Obama even wants to run again for a job he cannot do,as he promised voters. During his time in office, millions of middle class lost everything we have worked for our entire life! Our President appears to be afraid to take a strong stand. Big business rules this country. No jobs, no action, no money=the end of hope for the middle class. Rich people in control of America have no clue of the suffering the working class have experienced. I will vote for Mickey Mouse in the next election. The two party system no longer works. The constant banter between party lines is not productive.
Even though he may be right on some issues, he shouldn't be President, and shouldn't even run. He is not presidential material. He seems too angry and someone who would be hard to work with, as far as compromise goes. I think that attitude would continue to divide this country. We have that already with Obama.
Just the type of person the TeaPartiers support for President of this country. Nice comments for a child to hear or coming from anyone who pretends to be a Presidential candidate! Media, stop giving him a platform for these type rants! The man is NUTS!
God I really think this guy is just putting on a show. I dont think many people are this dumb.
Trump really thinks he can tell OPEC what to do? Yeah OK! Good luck. We rely on oil like nothing else... they're gonna charge us whatever they want. I thought he was all for the free market? No regulation. When the government steps in and tells a business what they should and shouldn't charge...that sounds a little like regulation to me Trumpy!
No mention from Trumpet on altnernative energy though. We need to look into a solar panel comb, and a wind powered tupe for this guy.
Trump is NOT a presidential célèbre. He is not even suited for a replacement for 2 1/2 men.
Class act! Very presidential! Carnival barker might be a compliment.
I am conservative and I think President Obama is destroying this country, but I woudl never vote for trump.
short on brains, brawn and charm; but long on undeserved hype and self-deluded ego.
Trump – spouting off as usual, does not seem to realize that as the price of oil from the middle east has dropped – gas prices iin the US have risen. These gas prices are due to corporate policy.
Yeah, I used to be at least entertained by the guy and his TV show.. but now in my mind he might as well team up with Charlie Sheen.
is this the type of person we want running our country? he sounds like a street punk, being rude and crude to his audience. if he is serious about running he is going to need to read a book on "ettiquette for dummies" and get a complete makeover from someone who can teach him to be a gentleman who has compassion and respect for all. all foreign countries have got to be rolling around on the floor, laughing at a freakshow,compliments of Trump, that has become our political arena. the republicans have to be soooooooooo proud.
If George W. Bush could do it...
Don't blame Beck or many of the conservative talk radio hosts. They all dismissed the birther issue. Donald has been standing alone for the past few months, and he will be alone in the future too.
Classless, arrogant bag of wind
PS I say let him rant and rave. Looks like the previous sponsors of his crummy butt show are starting to pull out. I guess they don't want their product associated with this man. I think he needs to be examined by a doctor. And this is not a put down. I really think he has a problem and should be treated before it gets worst.
He might not be presidential material but he speaks the truth. I say the same thing when I come to CNN to get a lefty prospective on the state of the union. Also, I like to read all of the posts from Obama's blind flock.
"They (OPEC) want to go in and raise the price of oil because we have nobody in Washington that sits back and says you're not going to raise that fu***** price, you understand me?" Trump said.
The crazy thing is that there are now those who think that lowering oil prices is just this simple. I promise if he were President and did this it would do absolutely nothing. He is pandering to the uneducated with promises like this.
Does he really think he has a shot at the Presidency? He is by no means a stupid man, so he has to realize that he is crass, rude, abrasive, and downright offensive - just what we need right now in the White House!
We need to regain our dignity as a great nation - not pull our reputation down further. If Trump is the answer, we could save a lot of taxpayer campaign money and just put a Bozo nose on Mr. Trump.
Hey Trump continue to play with the mind of those who can not think themselves, but the rest of us are really fed up of you crazy , nut plays. Enough is enough and can you take your old seat and leave everybody in peace!
and this "man" wants to be our leader? HE's the stupid one. and he's proving it on a daily basis
Donald Trump what do you mean when you say may lose In 2012. No Donald It not may be It more like you will never win. All you do when you talk Is LIE. Talking about China taking all of American JOBS, There one thing you left out Donald ,you for got to tell American People were you have everything with the TRUMP NAME ON IS MAKE IN CHINA. you keep saying the President don't do anything about It and the Way you say you LOVE AMERICA. But the true Is DONALD there Is some thing you can do stop have all you PRODUCT MAKE IN CHINA. But that just a number of Lie you have told.
GOP/Tea Party voters should ask themselves: "Is this the man I want to answer the hot phone at 3 am?"
Pure class.
Trump is without a doubt a hundred times more qualified and better candidate than Sarah Palin. The problem is that a hundred times zero is still zero. Sorry Trump, you don't stand a chance.
And Obama controls oil prices how exactly? This guy has zero class, the lies are as far out there as Sarah's ignorance. What a pair they'd be!
This is what passes for politics in the US? No wonder the rest of the world laughs at us.
And the reaction of this audience of Republican cows was what? Adulation? Admiration? Did anyone in the audience understand what OPEC's role is in the price of gas and what its not since Trump obviously doesn't. A transparent snake oil salesman speaking to the blind, deaf and dumb.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO – How classy.
This person is an embarrassement.
Remember just a few days ago he promised to release BIG evidence his investigators uncovered in hawaii. Where is it?
Consider this. His popularity among registered Republicans burst on the scene like wild fire. What type of personality is attracted to the one Trump has put on display? Obviously, his words and delivery resonate with quite a number of people.
Wow, was thinking he may have something to offer if he runs for president, but after that speech I wouldn't let my kids listen to him.. I would rather keep Obama in office than have someone as obnoxious as him.
Trump is clearly a plant taking down th GOP... and I am enjoying ever single bit of it;)
"Trump would be a good candidate because he can't be corrupted."
That was funny! For a second @Common I thought you actually believed that.
Donald, keep your mouth closed you are just embarrassing yourself. Go ahead and run in 2012, and ruin the Republicans chances for President. Everytime you say something you keep making yourself look more and more ignorant. Although, I am secretly thinking he is doing this on purposed. You DID SEE the article that he donates to Democrats as well...maybe this is secretly a Democrat Strategy...to get Donald to sink Republicans.
And is anyone else outraged by the fact that Obama was snubbed for the Royal Wedding? 40 Heads of States were invited and Obama was not one of them. Don't they know who he is? He is the King of America!!! But still, it just shows us how the rest of the world views our President. I stand by my original claim, Hillary Clinton is the one we want steering this country in 2012.
CLINTON/ANYONE BUT OBAMA '12
What sort of women's groups enjoy sitting listening to some bombastic dolt shout out profanities? Obviously, Mr. Trump is absolutely void of a single shred of class and I question the intelligence and class of the women listening to him. Certainly goes prove that money does NOT buy class! As a former republican (and embarrassed to even admit it!) I have sympathy for the long-time republican politicians who still possess class and integrity. However, after witnessing the likes of tea partiers, birthers, and the like, I would find myself hard-pressed to ever vote republican again.
Even the wacky GOP won't go for this nut!
I am sure that OPEC will respond well to the F bomb and keep oil prices down. Trump is a fool.
No one should be surprised by this. Trump is a spoiled, inarticulate bully with no clue how to govern or how to lead a government.
He needs to stick with his reality show and bankrupting the businesses he buys.....because real politics and diplomacy requires a brain.
Trump continues his comedy show. How could anyone consider this person to be a presidential candidate?
I hope Trump & Palin win the GOP nomination for 2012. They are the most entertaining amongst the all the GOP clowns. Does Obama even need to raise money for the race, this is looking like a cakewalk.
What a diplomat and statesman.
The face amerika presents to the world.
Yeah what he said wasnt appropriate but at least he spoke with conviction and passion unlike other politicians. He tells it like it is. On the flip side you have Obama who says exactly what people want to hear and the sheep follow. "Yes we can, yes we can". Ha, no you havent.
Oh, no matter how rich, how priveleged, you still can't buy class. Funny he should mention oil, since he's a snake oil salesman. I want a person in office who had to work for his achievements at Harvard, not one who went to Wharton on Daddy's dime. BTW, Trump, have you at least paid back THAT dime?
Had Obama ever dropped the f-bomb publicly, he'd have been pegged as an angry black man loose cannon lacking the sophistication and poise to be POTUS and GOPers would have expressed grave concern about his mental health and whether he might fly off the handle and be a threat to national security. One of their own does it and they cheer like he's Cowboy Jesus.
Wow, he's a class act, isn't he? He continues to contribute to the dumbing down of America (or at least the red half of it).
Egg on his face. Egg on his face. Looking like a fool with egg on his face!
Don't worry Donald, we don't think you're looking ridiculous, attempting to look all presidential while throwing out f-bombs left & right. You didn't lose anything by losing the birther argument with a national smackdown – it didn't reeally make you look like a two-bit circus barker. Even if it did, you still have that bank-owned helicopter for a few more days before it's repossessed. Take yourself a trip to another speech engagement, and keep up the crazytalk. The Democrats thank you for all of your work.
I would think that even the riches people would think twice about backing someone who has been bankrupted 3-4 times. They'd be a fool...or is this that they are????????????????
Wow, Donald Trump has proven that he has absolutely no idea how a free market works. How does he expect US politicians to control what OPEC does? Hey Donald, use some of your money to buy yourself a brain.
I'd like to see a Trump/Palin ticket. He could drop f bombs constantly and she could wink at people. Surely between the two of them they could fix all of this country's problems.
"#@% you". "You betcha"!
i seem to recall vp biden using the f-bomb a few times. ..who cares?
With every word that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth I get more and more disgusted. He calls Obama 'stupid'. While I don't approve of everything Obama has done, he has more intelligence in his pinky finger than Trump has in his entire body. Trump is a joke and I am praying people will see him as the fool he is.
Why would anyone in their right mind want to elect a corporate CEO to high elected office is beyond me? What makes anyone think that serial bankruptcy victim has any idea how to remediate our economy is beyond me? What makes anyone think that the only thing this guy believes in anything beyond "stop me if you can" taking what you want is beyond me?
So let me get this straight. Conservatives are for free market, minimal government intervention, but they cheer when Trump rants about somehow (apparently by cursing at the Saudis) using the power of the US government to drive down oil prices? WTF?
This is their new standard bearer. I am sure that when all is said and done he will the one laughing....all the way to the bank.
Trumps a weird guy but he tells it like it is. Reality hurts but it needs to be known.
Carnival barkers everywhere shudder at the comparison to this foul-mouthed buffoon
This guy is just a bad egg. His fake reality show has been renewed, so he's not even running for POTUS. He's a fake once again. He's been exposed as a liar and a hypocrite, and now has questions about how a black man could be smart enough to get into Columbia University & Harvard. I think he should be run out of town on a rail. Barring that, I recommend everyone do the country a great service, and avoid contributing to his financial well-being, in anyway possible.
Such a classy guy. NOT. Like the women's group wanted to hear his profanity laced tirade.
That's right! Trump did run ads in the papers about the accused in that case! He did it after the mayor was criticized for making negative comments and making misleading statements about their backgrounds to the press? Donald, took over the role!
From the party of "Family Values"....
You can sort of already sense the back peddaling on whether he will run. The sad thing is he make sense on some issues like the building of schools/roads issue.. but he so screwed up his credibility with the birther issue and how he loves to pat himself on the back that ot over shadows anything he says that may make sense. HE IS NOT RUNNING
Obama/Biden 2012
Donald "Duck the Draft" Trump's solution for rising oil prices? He said it himself - it's to "sit back" and utter the F word. Wow, that would be quite the accomplishment for this son-of-a-multimillionaire who avoided serving his country in Vietnam thanks to multiple deferments, including one for mysterious medical reasons that he is afraid to discuss publicly. He also suggested that if Obama produced his long-form birth certificate, Trump would release his tax returns. Obama came through this past week, but Trump is not stepping up to the plate - he continues to hide his tax returns. It also turns out that Trump has not voted in three presidential primaries, showing once again the level of his commitment to his country and the level of his dedication to civic duty and responsibility. Trump is leading polls among Republican presidential hopefuls. If this is the best the GOP has to offer, independents will once again vote for Obama, assuring his re-election. Look for Trump to either duck the presidential race by June of this year or to go down in flames and feathers when the primaries begin next year. Ducking the draft and leadership, this Donald is daffy...
Donald Trump makes morons look good. What is the matter with him. Off his meds? Boy, when you cross him or challenge him in anyway, he really comes unglued. Pretty funny. I hope the press rips him a new one soon!!!
Blunt honesty. Man I love it. Funny how the media acts all shocked and outraged all the time over him. This man has balls. Reminds me of the old school presidents. This kind of blunt honesty and strength is what we need in the Presidency at the moment. He'll tell it like it is and tell the rest to f*** off. Who better than this self built billionaire to get us out of economic trouble and fix our policies?
trump is just playing to woman emotions, the more crazy and emotional you get the more woman loves you. thats classic
Michigan Go Blue – I would like to know how Dubya got through high school let alone college!
He may speak honestly..... but honest stupid is still stupid.....
And we thought GW was crazy! Trump has gone schizophrenic on the GOP.
There is one thing he was totally correct about.......we have wasted hundreds of billions of dollars and untold lives in the effort in the middle east. Nothing has been gained there.
Really – Trump will just roll over OPEC? Trump just says dump Iraq and leave it to Iran? His GOP guy got us in there and the president is pulling us out of a place we never should have been. What does he say about raising the debt ceiling? I haven't heard him talk about much of anything – just being his usual egotistical windbag.
If he is so concerned about oil prices, then why hasn't he funded, with his money, ways for the country to get off of oil all together? That would be the one way say to OPEC to go away or that we don't care what they do. Where is that thinking from him or any other Republican? I can tell you that would be nowhere!
So, it's all about capitalism and free market – until it costs too much. Then Republicans want to say "You aren't raising the f***ing price!" And the crowd goes wild...
Buzz words, cuss words, hate-mongering fearful words - this shows the mentality of the GOP.
Why anyone would ever vote for anyone in the GOP is a mystery.
If I'm at T.I. or anywhere else on the Strip...the last thing I ever want to think about is politics. Just sayin'.
Not very presidential sounding.
Trump has reneged on his "deal" with Obama. If he ran, then he has a grace period to file financial reports. But, Trump laid out no such pre-conditions or criteria when he offered his quid pro quo to Obama. The first rule in bluffing is that you should only do it when the other guy cannot least afford to do so. That rule is really common sense, a self-imposed test that Trump failed.
Even if he spoke some truth it was invalidated with the profanity. There are more professional ways to speak your mind other that street language. Trump is not presidential material. We would have more wars than we have now if he ever became president. Nothing like swearing at Chinese leaders...right....
Why do we cheer on people with this type of mentality? Maybe because we love to laugh.
It sounds good to think that we are so powerful that we can threaten OPEC to drive down the price of oil. If that would work, we could threaten the health care and insurance industry and drive down medical cost and solve our budget problems in a few years. Stop using so much oil and it will drive the price down– that's common sense and sounds like what Obama's administration has been saying.
But we like to cheer on our village idiots.
He may have used profanity but he told the truth.
You think telling OPEC not to raise price is what will cause OPEC not to raise prices is "truth"?. You're an idiot in case you didn't know that already.
this guy is the current mouth and ears of the GOP as far as media attention is concerned he will single handedly bring down the GOP unless the weak kneed idiots in the party in congress shut him up are they so stupid as to let this happen.
Know what I want to see from Trump? A list of all the people who lost money on cancelled projects after he took their money and never gave it back and a llist of creditors that lost money the 4 times Trump filed for bankruptsy. As he said, he uses the bankruptsy laws to his advantage to reduce his debt. Guess it doesn't matter who get left holding no good Trump interests as long as The Donald comes out of it ok.
want to see all the new schools in Brooklyn? Two within 2 miles from where I live. Built on budget and on time. Trump likes cheap soundbites that are the big lie. Sounds like 1939 Europe. Yep when did the wars start in the Middle east? The one of the few to vote against the second Bush war in Iraq was you know who...and it wasn't Donnie Trump.
I'm a Republican, but anyone giving this clown (or Sarah Palin) any serious credence is a complete idiot. This guy is a corporation – you remember, those things that have been taking huge profits and not paying taxes, those things you've been railing against as the middle class gets bent over? Well, that's Trump. He gets where he is by taking advantage of people. And it's not like his financial prowess will get the country out of debt. He lives on debt, and has been in bankruptcy himself, a few times. Diplomatically he's the quintessential liability. In short, the guy knows how to promote himself and live in the real estate game, but he's an idiot in every other sense of the word.
Palin's just an idiot all around. Are these the people you want to represent YOU? If so, you deserve what you get. Between promoting morons like these two, and allowing the radical religious right to hijack the party, it's no wonder the Republican party is the political punch line that it is. It's a disgrace. Where do thinking Republicans turn? (Yes, we exist!)
He sounds more like a democrat than republican. All the cursing in front of a women's group can not be good for his presidential hopes. Personally, he should stick with his reality show, running beauty pagents and runnig his casino and stay away from politics. He sucks at it.
He dropped the F bomb...I seem to remember someone else saying "This is a big F'ing deal" when Obama took office.
I think Big Bird, or Alf or some other ridiculous creature should run for president too.
And THIS is who you want to be the Commander-in-Chief? Americans should really we weary of the Donald. He might push the button and blow the planet back into the Stone Age!
This guy is a classless idiot. That's all there is to it. A classless idiot.
Trump is a GOP diversion. He has no intentions of running for president, he wants to make sure the GOP wins in 12 so they can rob and steal more from us. His purpose is to say all the things all the of the other GOP candidates want to say but know if they do they’ll come off as racist and too extreme, thus alienating the independent voters. By acting like this Trump is making sure someone like Romney looks MODERATE, Independents will think “at least he’s not a lunatic like Trump”. Make no mistake this is all very calculated. The Corporations in this country are doing everything possible to make sure they can take the rest from the middle class. ENOUGH OF THE DIVERSION, TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES IF YOU ACTUALLY HAVE ANY IDEAS!
Trump, perhaps not the most eloquent speaker, but he said a lot of things that most Americans have been saying for years. And lets be honest, we've been saying it the same way. I'm sick of politics the way it is today and his brutal honesty is refreshing at times. Naturally the radical libs will hate him. But hey, they hate everyone that doesn't drool over Obama.
At this point Im willing to try anything but your typical Rep or Dem. if the fat lazy and rich wont elect soemone who is serious and smart like say Ron Paul, laugh if you want but YOU are the stupid one, then heck, give it to Trump, why not. I would rather have a guy like Trump who wont take any BS from anyone, who would take what we should take and go to war over something everyone really has a stake in than these blowhard politicians who say one thing and do another. Personally I think we should tell the Saudi's their time is up, tax the heck out of China's imports, Let Israel deal with Iran by themselves, increase trade with Russia, stop giving the brits any attention at all, and stop policing and rebuilding the world or our time will be up, its the 11th hour people, china practically owns us and before long "at anytime they decide" they will claim america and we cant do anything about it except press a button, if those rusty junk bombs would even work now anyway. Once our ability to print money is up we are screwed. The ONLY reason we can is the dollar is the world currency, which is laughable at this point. China and Russia are very close to changing that reality, and Im telling you, you're all going to pay the price. ALL of you, its coming, go ahead stick your head in the sand as usual.
theres some truth to his rants, but him complaining about it in a speech isn't going to help. he should work with both parties to further America's peaceful cause to the rest of the world. He's got money, he should put some of that to work.
I am a Democrat and I do agree (very rarely) with Trump....but why are we wasting so much of our money rebuilding other countries when we don't have enough money for our own infrastructure? I am sure everyone is aware of all the budget cuts in education and elsewhere...AND for this, I am not blaming Obama either, these wars were started by that Republican President of yesteryear.
And Americans thought Charles Manson was nuts! This is a man who wants to run for President? Trump has definitely lost it.
Interesting comment about not being able to build a school in Brooklyn.
I am not a big fan of Trump but he is right, our President does not have a back bone.
The fact that conservatives have not unilaterally and publicaly disavowed Donald Trump speaks volumes about their character regarding social and fiscal issues. It just show that they are willing to ignore thier core values and principles, lay down and kick their heels up ... if the price is right.
He makes W. Bush seem like a responsible, cautious spoiled brat imbecile by comparison.
Banks have been Trump's "OPEC" for years.
Great language to win friends and influence people around the world. I'm sure the Saudies would be really responsive to him telling them they're not going to raise f..g oil prices. That would really go over well. A President with absolutely no class. If he didn't have money, i don't think he'd have many friends and certainly not very many wives.
The Trump Business Model:
Create a LLC to construct and manage an office or luxury apartment building. Get a bank to invest your company noting the profits to be returned by feature leases. Get contractors to put up the funds to buy the materials and furnish the labor. When project is complete, stiff the contractors, file for bankruptcy, sell the company back to the bank, and walk away with the cash.
So the top polling GOP potential candidate is fluent in race bating and profanity. Wow. Just wow.
He certainly has an interesting approach to foreign affairs. What happens if he looks OPEC in the eye and says 'you're not going to raise the f...ing price of oil' and they look him in the eye and say 'f... you'?
And just maybe, he would pick Palin or Bachman for his running mate! What in the world is happening to our country?
May be we could get a school built and get better education for our kids if the F...king republicans wouldn't try to kill every education bill and hand out vouchers.
Trump tried the "birther" route and got spanked by Obama's releasing long form. He then tried the dirty trick (insulted every minority in the country) of saying Obama only got into college because of affirmative action and he got spanked again Out of new ideas, he goes with the "F" bomb and locker room talk. What's next?
