Donald Trump for President Thread

[joey_macmo]

He's 70 years old and worth billions of dollars. You think he has time to be President and also continue building his real estate empire? You think when he's 75 he's going to be that bothered as to whether he has 10 billion or 20 billion? Not a chance at all. If you think he's doing it for the money you're deluded, unfortunately.

He hasn't even got $1 billion chief that's been proven time and again.

You seem to expect a president with zero support in the key areas to make these changes?

I am not expert in politics but Fill our parliament with labour MPs and stick May in there and see how far she gets in regards to trying to introduce new things? Same principle, Obama has had to fight for 8 years to get anywhere, plus has avoided any global war or needlessly sent troops to the middle east when that is not their pressing concern.

All in all i believe Obama has done a great job with the best intentions considering the lack of support

Ash, that middle paragraph is one of the most nonsense things I've seen and makes absolutely no comparison.

Then the bit about "global war" - my word, we've got a rerun of the Great Game happening in the middle east and you don't think it's a global war???

You've once again ignored all the criticisms. Please mate at least do a bit of reading before the sweeping statements.

Just because he is the first black President doesn't mean he has been a good one. Don't let that cloud your judgement.

Wow, that's some leap

This isn't some opinion that I've formed in the last forty seconds, I've watched admiringly since 2008.

So what is un-progressive and awful about Obama?

Wall St President. Exactly like Hillary will be.

So to take Bush down, Clinton’s team drew up a plan to pump Trump up. Shortly after her kickoff, top aides organized a strategy call, whose agenda included a memo to the Democratic National Committee: “This memo is intended to outline the strategy and goals a potential Hillary Clinton presidential campaign would have regarding the 2016 Republican presidential field,” it read.

“The variety of candidates is a positive here, and many of the lesser known can serve as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right. In this scenario, we don’t want to marginalize the more extreme candidates, but make them more ‘Pied Piper’ candidates who actually represent the mainstream of the Republican Party,” read the memo.

“Pied Piper candidates include, but aren’t limited to:
• Ted Cruz
• Donald Trump
• Ben Carson
We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to [take] them seriously.”

While the campaign also kept a close eye on Rubio, monitoring his announcement speech and tightly designing the tweeted responses to his moves, Clinton’s team in Brooklyn was delightedly puzzled by Trump’s shift into the pole position that July after attacking John McCain by declaring, “I like people who weren’t captured.”

Eleven days after those comments about McCain, Clinton aides sought to push the plan even further: An agenda item for top aides’ message planning meeting read, “How do we prevent Bush from bettering himself/how do we maximize Trump and others?”

Now if it should someday emerge that Trump was in on this somehow, we’d have a pretty major scandal on our hands.

During the primaries, it was Trump, Trump, Trump, 24/7.

has there ever been a president that isnt?

has there ever been a president that isnt?

Perhaps not - But one with as much laissez-faire as obama? Maybe reagan was worse inasmuch as the greed (thatcherite) factor, but I can't think of anyone else.

Cash or assets?

This was half-jokingly rumoured all the time, before his polling numbers drew even. "Spring Time for Hitler" in so many ways then, should he actually win.

sanders was the last chance for a long time i should think, clinton will prob win this one...then surely in 4 years time the repbulicans will choose a less polarizing center-leaning candidate who should beat clinton..and round we go again

This guy...

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

This guy...

Maybe James Polk, too?

 

[abelard]

Maybe James Polk, too?

FDR? Certainly not a Jacksonian figure, but... not Coolidge or Willkie either

Telling how you have to go back 70, or 170, years though

 

[witchdoc187]

aren't they just as bad as each other? I mean they are both pretty evil, stupid and offensive.

This guy...

Peter Cushing?
