Listening to that speech makes me wonder how this man made so much money. Even disregarding the bad economics, I don't see who he's trying to reach out to with those kind of comments and attitude. Is this how his business dealings go down?
 
I love the front page of the Daily News.

Is there a video summary/highlights reel of his speech somewhere? I want to join in the fun, but I don't feel like watching the whole thing.
 
For those saying he's just doing it for publicity and marketing for shows and books, etc (which I agree with plus he's doing it for his own vanity), won't the cost of running cancel out any of that?

If most of the money isn't his he won't care but who is going to waste money on this 8 Billion Networth Not Assets Candidate.
 
Trump made his money through New York/New Jersey real estates, casinos/gambling, and boxing IIRC. I'm sure he has very upstanding business associates.

None of whom are special interests. (the gall to imply he wouldn't be beholden to such people was surreal)
 
I just sent a text to a friend asking if was gonna vote for Trump; I was fully expecting some kind of "lmao, I'm not sure" or possibly a "lol yes" but instead I got a stone-cold "yes. are you?"
 
These guys are gonna eat each other alive to stay on the first tier debate. Some actually elected official will probably lose a spot to Trump....this is already hysterical.

Sir, you were Senator(governor), how do you feel that Donald Trump is debating on primetime while you are a has been in some debate no one is watching?
 
As I've noted a few times on this board, I teach healthcare college courses and from time to time, due to the politics of healthcare, we go down that murky road of ideology. One of my students are genuinely ecstatic that Trump is running for president. Next on the list is Ben Carson :|
 
Just a reminder to anyone who could possibly vote for him that this is the same man that put out newspaper ads calling for the death of a fourteen year old.

Transcript if anyone is interested:

Thank you. It’s true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

Very good, Mr. Trump.

So uh, I was reading through the transcript. There's a lot of quote worthy humor there for sure.

However, he does ask a few good questions about our foreign relations deals. I don't know how I feel about this. I know he's a joke character/candidate, but I feel like he has something more "real" about him, than say Cain. He's actually calling out lobbyist money, and unfair foreign trade deals. I feel weird. It's like instead of being 100% BS, it;s like 80% BS and 20% actual political content that matters.

But he's a known liar. How much of that do you think he'd follow through. Plus his economics gotta be really shady and probably only help the 1%

long story short five men were arrested for raping someone in a park (that person went into a coma)

one of them was a 14 year old male

its widely believed that this super tainted the jury

anyway they were all convicted and sentenced for the assault and rape

fast forward like ten years and they are exonerated using dna evidence and they found the real guy who admitted to it

donald trump to this day wont apologize to the wrongly convicted
 
Just so everyone knows. He has 120 days (give or take) to actually FILE with the FEC that he is a candidate (which will disclose his finances). So if he "forgets" to do that. Then this will have just been a 4 month PR stunt.

Which is exactly what will happen.
 
I finally watched Monday night's Daily Show last night......holy shit that was gold.

Trump made TDS must see TV for it's final run...as if it wasn't already.
 
YES! I finally have someone to vote for. I didn't want to support the political elite royal family trend by voting for a Bush or Clinton, and really didn't know what other option there was for me. Now I can vote for a bad ass fiscal conservative. I hope he does the "Your Fired!" thing to all of the government asshats that are running this country into the ground.

It would be really funny if Trump won the presidency based on everyone voting ironically.
