Obama has either broken or reversed himself on many campaign promises. I can't understand why Republicans don't go after his record instead of spreading obvious lies about his birth record. They did they same to John Kerry when they suggested that not all three of his purple hearts were deserved.
and of course we can't accuse the Republicans of ever lying now can we? Oh, I think I hear a bird in the Bush! Ooooops, sorry that was not the smoking gun I was looking for.

If you've been through several elections with different parties over the years you will have learned by now that every friggin' politician lies just to get in office, once in they then focus on managing and mitigating the fallout of those lies through various damage control techniques. It's the game of politics, they all play it.

He's a cowboy businessman that runs roughshod over anyone and everybody just to get his way. Can you imagine him using the same tactics over other countries of the world? That's exactly why the US is hated by so many countries over the past several decades? We're in a different era now, the US can't use that muscle anymore, diplomacy is required, even a small, little country with a mentally unstable leader is dangerous to the world today.
Sorry, US needs to get tough with unfair trade pratices. Plus they need to get dragged out of recession.

Trump is da man!

We may be left in the lamentable position to wish for Sarah Palin. LOL

You must start to live in the new reality, the US is not that dominant player of the past that you're used to. Heck, their currency has dived over the past few months, it's now lower than the Aussie, Swissy, CAD, and is getting killed now by the EUR and GBP.

The US needs to use diplomacy more than ever as the world needs to work together in this day and age,......ie. you can't simply go to China and say let your Yuan float or else, China is becoming one of the biggest importers of the world and the US needs them......badly, just ask GM.

Exactly right, and exactly why we need Trump right now

Because your average American is not that bright (sorry, it's true)

They understand lying about blowjobs, or cheating on your wife, of lying about your military service, or lying about where you were born.

But lying about Weapons of Mass Destruction, or lying about selling arms to the Iranians. Boooorrinnnngg. That just gets you elected to a second term. No, what the Republicans want right now is to catch Obama getting a blowjob from a 17 year old big titted white girl (preferably on film). That's what would sink his boat. Failing that, they will grasp at straws as to where he was born.

Good point, Trump did go bankrupt a few years back, which basically meant that he screwed all his share holders and creditors.
Not true!! Trump never officially went bankrupt. He's too smart!

Trump pulled a few tricks to make sure his money was tied up in foreign bank accounts. When Ivana Trump went after his money Donald was supposedly "bankrupt", which he wasnt. It was a trick he pulled so she couldnt get to all his money.

Donald Trump somehow managed to transfer most of his net worth to foreign bank accounts.
I dont know how he did that though.

After the whole Ivana affair Donald got much more careful and smarter, and made Marla Maples sign a prenup (which she did), and AFAIK she only got 1 mill out of the whole deal (after their divorce)

Another reason Trump won't run.

He's on what - Wife No. 3 or 4 (I forget). I somehow doubt that that would appeal to the glassy eyed Christian crowd.

I'd be willing to bet that he's got more than a few skeletons rattling around in the closet.

I don't believe Trump will run. It's just publicity. It's worked well for Palin.

Does Trump have an ego? Yes, and that's why he's hated. But he doesn't take himself too seriously. He allowed himself to be roasted.

I've always liked Trump even though he is always immersed undeserved arrogance. I believe that he is a decent person with a big personality. He knows of no other way to express himself and validate his existence. He can't rewrite his own life to start off poor rather than being born into wealth try to make it to the top on his own volition.

Trump is not be a self-made man, but he is at least smart enough to retain and build on the wealth that he inherited. An easy task? It should be, but most people handed such wealth would be broke within a decade. Upbringing has a lot to do with it. The rest of it is in the genes. His dad had what it took to become wealthy and with a little luck it happened (luck is always a factor in success). I don't doubt that Trump has the inherent ability to come from the bottom and rise to the top. He just never had to.

This is what US needs right now, a businessman.

Obama couldnt run a lemonade stand if he had to
George W. Bush did his MBA at Harvard. The United States economy completely cratered under his watch.
