I just thought that it would be funny if Obama used some of his personal money to hire investigators to find out if Trump was born in the Ukraine or something completely asinine.

When you have one party of anti-American, Marxist, racist, pervy psychos - and another party of timid, squeaky little political cuckholds who will sell out their base for donors you get curves balls like Trump (who could still do better much better as President than the shady creature the US has now )

zero surprise that you'd consider trump a viable candidate.

I would have assumed that actually is Donald Trump, but there's not nearly enough sentences done in ALL CAPS TO INDICATE SINCERITY AND DOMINANCE. Anyone who takes Donald Trump seriously as a politician (or indeed as anything more than an overpaid buffoon) is someone whose opinion can be safely ignored. I initially typed that they themselves can be safely ignored, but I realized if I was alone in a room with someone who supported Donald Trump, I wouldn't take my eyes off them for a second; sometimes the mentally challenged will get violent for absolutely no reason.

I would like him a lot better if he would halt the whirlwind of stupidity constantly streaming from his yapper.

He "claims" to have a plan to defeat ISIS easily in a short time. That tells you right there he has zero clues.

My favorite part is that it is apparently "foolproof" but also such a secret that he can't tell anyone.

You would think that if he were actually in possession of such a plan he would try to get it to policymakers immediately in order to save (tens of?) thousands of lives. Instead he wants to implement it starting almost TWO YEARS from now so he can win an election.

Of course he's full of shit, but if what he were saying were actually true that's an absolutely monstrous position to hold.

Let's see... isis is a terrorist threat to the world, and the USA in particular, and donny boy says he has a foolproof plan to eliminate said threat, cannot the patriot act flex it's muscles and throw donny in gitmo until he makes good with the aforementioned solution to isis?

Didn't he claim to have another plan for something last election cycle?

I would love it if a journalist said this to him on air.

He also claims to have sent an crack team of private investigators to Hawaii to uncover the truth about Obama's birth certificate. He said we would have updates soon and we 'wouldn't believe what they found', but so far no word.

I'm sure he just hasn't been able to clear time in his busy schedule.

I still don't think he's running, but at least he said 1 thing that is 100% correct, China is fucking us over with their currency manipulation and everybody in the public needs to be told about it 100,000 over, and then some more, to demand our government levy tariffs to make them stop.

They've been doing that for decades now.

zero surprise that you'd consider trump a viable candidate.

if an unknown mystery candidate with a big smile, anti-American friends and a racist preacher can win presidency so can a well known and popular billionaire with TV shows. Its proven that America is dumbed down, and has an "America Idol" mentality toward presidency. A smart country would laugh at Hillary the buffoon with the ebonic accents and trail of wreckage behind her.

In 2012 over 40% of people said the way Obama handled hurricane Sandy was a major factor in their vote decision. After 2 years of candidates all over the place, and 2 dozen debates, people voted because of how Obama and Christie photo-oped the days after a storm. That's how dumb people are. America is close becoming like those countries that send porn stars to their parliament.

Right now its clear to many that neither party is doing peoples will. Dems are homicidal maniacs and GOPers are suicidal putzes. The conditions are ripe for an interloper. I don't mind Trump in the primaries even though he's a self-promoter doing schtick . He wouldn't be close to my first choice for President, and I dont want him to run as independent - but I would pick him before a Pataki or Lindsey Graham. At this point I would feel better picking a name out of a phone book that voting for another lunatic or squishy frat boi

All I can think is that the US deserves a douche like Trump to run the country, after all, it's all about the Benjamins.

Everyone is missing the real story over this....
That Fox News is totally freaking out.
Fox and their friends are very upset and very concerned that Trump's candidacy will demean the entire republican election process.
In other words, Jeb will have to debate and address The Donald.
And that, somehow, will make Jeb look bad as well as the entire election process for the republican party.
I don't know, but I guess Fox is concerned Donald Trump could make Ted Cruz look bad?
Or Ben Carson, or Lindsey Graham, or Bobby Jindal, or Rick Perry somehow look less presidential?
Gee... I sure don't see how.

It's not that it makes the other candidates look bad, it's that it spoils any pretense that 's not a sham already. But yes, the freakout is the real story. I for one am super stoked over this. Go the Donald!

Pretty sure most of the public already knows this. Tariffs will just make everything more expensive, no?

The guy who went bankrupt running a casino claims to be the most successful candidate ever? Seems legit.

this is the first and last nice thing I'll ever say about Donald Trump, but in his defense... there's a lot wrong with Atlantic City and it's not something any one casino owner could have changed.

they were the only game in town for a long while and the city as a whole failed to diversify. then when casinos opened up in PA, NY, and MD right on the Jersey borders and it became an easier trip for the senior buses to drop the pensioners off there instead of trekking all the way down to AC, the casinos started hemorrhaging losses.

I don't know much about Trump but I am already thinking I'd like to vote for him before I vote for another Bush or Clinton.
