Think about this. NBC BEGGED Trump to do another year of the Apprentice, he refused because he decided to run for election. His annual salary for doing the Apprentice was $213,000,000.00 per year!!!!!!!
All of these Political Class Politicians, would quit their political position in a heartbeat to make that kind of money, not Trump. Why? Because Trump is a stud and the other political turnip heads are duds! LMAO

Please provide a reference that shows Trump made 213 million dollars a year off the apprentice. Trump claims he made that amount over the 14 seasons The Apprentice played.
Those are only Trump's claims. NBC won't verify that, and even though Forbes estimates his net worth is 4 billion dollars, Trump claims it is 10 million. Trump is never known to exaggerate.
Wouldn't just love to have the leader of the United States who's gone bankrupt multiple times?

Nobody wants to hear the truth. The truth is bad news. Nobody wants to vote for the truth.

What scares me is that there is significant number of Americans who view him as the answers to problems, and what scares me even more is that we have a lot of people on this board you feel the same way.

Career politicians are so indebted to their constituents and financial contributors that empower them through Super PACs that they are not in a position to make decisions that are in best interest of the average American, hence the financial gap between the 1% and the middle class which have been decimated over the last 30 years. All the politicians are doing these days is managing and contributing to the decline of America. It has to stop, otherwise the USA will become another Greece and a third world nation instead of a super power.
It has also been very disconcerting to see the liberal media trying their very best to try and write Trump off as a viable candidate and have been actively doing their very best to discredit him to include Wolf Blitzer of CNN and Chuck Todd of Meet the Press and NBC. It makes me very sick to see the media trying to sway the electorate instead of just reporting the news, unbelievable and scary!!!!!
The American people are sick and tired of the Professional Political Class, words and gestures, inaction, speeches, horrible trade deals, stupid immigration policies, abandoned Vets and corruption which IMO is why Trump is earning so much traction. What the American public need now is a leader that has a ton of business experience, someone that is not hamstrung by financial backers/contributors and lobbyists and does not cave like a cheap tent and isn’t afraid to get into a fight because he is overtly Politically Correct.
The best ticket to right the sinking U.S.A. ship would be Trump as President and Carly Fiorina as Vice President. Both of them are supremely intelligent, they are not part of the Professional Political Class and know how to balance the budget and operate a business.
What a breath of fresh air that would be, instead of a community organizer that wants to sound like Martin Luther King Jr. experiment, or an old hack like Hillary Clinton that does not know how to tell the truth if it slapped her across her fat and sagging butt!
|
So tell me how exactly at Trump presidency would work with Congress? You do realize that a president who does not work with Congress becomes a failed president.
Like Obama.

Does anybody else have a better plan, voters are tired of plans and negotiations that go on foreaver and accomplish nothing. Trump is more probable to be telling the truth, or at least honestly delivering his opinion up front and seems not afraid to alienate voters by telling it. People like that, it has gained him a lot of support, they are sick of the wishy washy non committal talking heads. Attitude among many is why not give him a try, they are tired of the same old same old phony bloodsucking career politicians. What would happen if Trump gets elected is anybody's guess but people want change and many see Trump as a viable option for that.

The USA is very close to Bankruptcy right now, approximate current national debt: 18.628 trillion.
Who got them there? Yep that turnip head Bush II, coupled with the remarkable lack of experience and leadership by the Martin Luther King Jr. wannabe.
Did you know that John McCain received a Presidential pardon from Nixon saving him from treason and collaboration charges? Nice to have a daddy that was an Admiral of the fleet eh?

Are you on drugs????????
Trump is a train wreck.A car accident you can see coming but you can`t look away. A You Tube clip. I think the S.O. B is working for the Democrats.Hillary hired him to blow the Republicans credibility to hell. Anybody who thinks he should run the most powerfull and dangerous country on the planet should be commited to the same facility he is going to be in. He is a loud mouth whacko.

lol!
Did McCain call the 15,000 people that attended the meeting in Phoenix "Crazies" first or not? Yes he did, and Trump called him out for it because Trump does not fear lifetime Political figures and owes him NADA! In fact McCain owes Trump for raising a ton of money for his "Failed" Presidential bid.
If you can't take a shot across the bow, then you should not shot first!

Also did you know that McCain’s great-great-grandfather, William A. McCain, owned a Mississippi plantation with more than 50 slaves and died fighting for the Confederacy in 1863?
To me McCain is nothing less than a saber rattling fear monger that was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a complete phony for letting all of his fellow Vet's down, while he lives the high life in his privileged world, on the tax payers dime.
McCain had his shot at the Whitehouse and blew it, so hopefully he will have the class to just shut up and fad away into the woodwork, like the good ol' southern gent that he is.

Listen to his speeches and he lays out his plan perfectly. You won't get it from the lame stream media because they fear Trump.

It's just as trust worthy as anything our Corporate/Liberal/Democrat controlled media pushes out. It's quite refreshing to have a politician speak openly with out a teleprompter, unscripted or with out having his ideas poll tested first.
McCain and his boyfriend Lindsey Graham just need to go away.

Trump reminds me of Jesse Ventura. Enough of an outsider/populist type to just maybe get elected. All the pundits railing against him are boosting his polls. People are sick of politicians, and Trump is no politician.
Would he be good for America? I'm really not sure. The guy is a full fledged narcissist not unlike the current president, maybe egotist would be a better term for Trump, but at least he's got something on the ball (unlike the current president). You don't just walk into money like that by accident, no matter how much you hate the guy. He certainly isn't much of a diplomat with some people and a charmer with others.
I'd rather see Scott Walker get in, but I'd rather see Trump take a stab at running things instead of Jeb getting in. Trump sure can't do any worse than the current guy.

I wouldn't believe any of them. I don't read enough Russian media to know but I know the Western media is controlled by international banksters and globalists against our best interests. If the Media party, Rhino Republicans and Democrats are against Donald Trump that's all I need to know that he would be the best President for the average person.

I Know legal immigrants from Mexico in the Tampa Bay area, and they are the hardest working and honest people one can meet. For him to say that Mexico is just sending the drags is racist as heck.[/QUOTE]
That's exactly what Trump said in his speech about legal immigrants he has thousands working for him. What are your thoughts on illegal immigrants ?

Tough call, seriously.
Ideally they should be sent back. The problem is you're looking at 12 to 14 million people, with their children who were born in United States in many cases, with their father and your mother, and with their grandparents.
So what is the solution? Are you going to split families? The children born in United States are American citizens. Are you going to send the parents back or put them in jail?
I'm not sure what the solution is, but there is a humanitarian issue that needs to be part of it.
