Donald Trump Is a Big Effing Deal
So what could be done to improve this? Imagine for a moment if you could simply replace Clarence Thomas (who never says anything anyway) with… Judge Judy. Gone would be the days of unsatisfying rejections based on a lack of proper standing by the plaintiff or musty descriptions of unintelligible quotes from wig wearing colonials who have been dead for two centuries or more. We could all feel better if — just once — a justice stood up in the middle of a case and cried, “You sir are a ****ing idiot. And I’m fining you $10,000.00 for wasting my time by even coming here today.”
This is the hidden genius of Donald Trump, and the rare quality which he brings to a field of candidates lacking the buzz and sparkle required to grab ratings in today’s multimedia world. And it’s obviously long overdue. Picture how some of our previous leaders might have fared had they possessed the kind of fire in the belly which Trump so bravely displays.
Bill Clinton became famous for his line, “It depends on what the meaning of the word is is.” Famous, yes, but not admired. If Clinton had been possessed of the courage of his convictions and a sense of history he would have said, “Did you see the booty on that girl? You’d tap that **** in a heartbeat, trust me. You know you would. And you’d have lied about it, too if you had Hillary in the next room watching the whole damned thing on CSPAN.”
At that point he could have simply stood up in the middle of the proceedings, recited Otter’s classic courtroom exit speech from Animal House, and marched out of the hall while his supporters in the gallery hummed the national anthem. In the process he would have marched right into history.
Donald Trump can bring that sense of style to the White House. If some modern day Khrushchev begins pounding his shoe on the table during tense negotiations, unlike Nixon’s passive response Trump will whip out a tire iron and crack his skull with it.
Trump wouldn’t have ordered a scope limited, time limited, military kinetic action to deal with Libya. He’d have bought the entire country by now, fired Gaddafi, and sent him off to work at one of his golf courses with a stinging cloud of expletives following him out of the room.
Trouble with the teachers’ unions? No worries! The Donald will bypass the state governments, issue an executive order closing all of the schools, show up with a bullhorn and shout, “You mother****ers want to teach people something? Teach ‘em how to live on no damn pay, ya incompetent bastards!”
Times have changed. Americans have long since given up on taking their kids to the shore for a holiday. Instead, they stay home and let them watch Jersey Shore. And it’s high time for government to evolve and catch up with 21st century trends.
There’s only one man to lead us into that brave new world, and his name is Donald J. Trump. Stay strong, Donald. Your hour has come round at last and it’s time for you to slouch toward Washington to be born.
(And at the Tatler, read about what might sink Trump.)
Haha nice piece.
Only problem with Trump. He says he wont cut spending.
You are mistaken. He advocates for a balanced budget; no deficits. He said he would support maintenance of the Medicare and Social Security programs; not Medicaid and SSI and the other handouts.
Medicare and Social Security are paid for investments extorted from the contributors at federal gunpoint. Those forced to pay into them are entitled to the promised return on their coerced investments.
They stand in opposition to those who destroyed their brains with drugs and those too lazy to work.
I like what I have heard from Trump, a godless man, true, but a sound businessman. If no one better shows, hes got my vote.
Trump supports Kelo and for that reason I’d never support Trump!
One can argue (as Trump points out) that the use of Eminent Domain by a city or county government is good because it can benefit all citizens with proper use, create a stronger and larger tax base (which they desperately need), and is NOT AT ALL “stealing” a man’s property as they are given fair market value (and often times even more) for the sale of their property.
Is this the “American way” where a man’s home is his castle?
No, of course not, but used judiciously and in extreme cases where there is a reason for the common good (a city being the “common”, not just the developer)…it is the ways things are NOW and into the future…
The Supreme Court said so and it is settled. Live with it.
Hey, Hitler had conquered most of Europe. We should have just accepted as settled and lived with it, right?
If that’s the best argument you’ve got for supporting Trump…
Well, come to think of it, that’s right on par with all the other arguments I’ve heard for supporting this buffoon.
Mr.Trump has what it takes to be a decisive leader, unlike our current stars. Mr. Trump… you are a breath of fresh air and every establishment elitist politician is afraid of you; including Obama.
God Bless you Mr. Trump.
By the bye, not to put a too fine point on the obvious, but is there ANYTHING untrue in Obama’s outburst?Moreover, the ‘smartie’ set in the Obama cabal have been caught using so many expletives, it would take a veritable two ton truck to haul all the offenders away.
As per Trump, you can call him a showboater-fair is fair-but you can’t call him wrong!!
oops, I meant – Trump’s outburst…..
Sorry, still eating the left over crap sandwiches Boehner loves so much.
The current occupant of the Oval Office is bloodless and passive. He has no clue how to deal with the tyrants of the world. Trump, being a shark and manipulator himself, sees right through them. He’s an obnoxious steamroller. If he proved to have fiscally sound policies I would vote for him. We need a president who will kick $ss.
“We need a president who will kick $ss.”
Then there’s the plus side only a businessman could see….resources and expenses.
Let’s have a guy who won’t wait 10 years for a positive outcome to any war, while cutting off the balls of his Generals / Commanders in theater and allowing our troops to become free from these asinine “ROE’s”.
Even if the POS in the crosshairs is wearing a bag with a slit in it for eyes….
It’ll save lives and trillions of dollars to allow our armed forces to do what they do best with the superior weapons we have available.
That is…KILL the bastards and make him wish he never picked up an AK against any HOME BOY AMERICAN.
Destroy them utterly and completely…put the real fear of death in their hearts and forget about rebuilding a 7th century crap hole, forever.
From your lips to God’s ears.
Abdul, we is witch’yu!
I checked it out thoroughly, and the recidivism rate for dead terrorists is ZERO!
That’s a pretty big IF.
In fact, if you would pay just a little attention to what Trump has said on this subject over the years, you’d realize that this man is completely clueless on the subject.
While you’re doing some basic research on his likely fiscal policies, take a look at which politicians he’s supported over the years.
This clown is on par with Bloomberg.
Well, what you really need is someone who seems tough but is even tougher in private. Somebody who would say all of those words in private and strike fear in the hearts of all who came before him. Lyndon Johnson was like that. He had that pleasant southern demeanor on the outside, but he was a lion in private. If Johnson wanted something, he always got it and never thought twice of bullying or yelling at people to get it.
The problem with people like this is that it’s either their way or the highway. They are usually not very much into compromise and, as Lyndon Johnson tragically showed, he was convinced that his was the best way to proceed in Vietnam and we all saw how well that turned out. So Trump may be entertaining, but people like him are dangerous. And, after all is said and done, do we really, really, want to nominate a guy to the highest office in the land who has absolutely no experience in government? America tried that with Obama, a guy with less than two years experience in Washington before he ran for president, and look what happened. I don’t think we all want to go down that road again.
Yeah we don’t want anyone in office who doesn’t know what a billion dollars really is, so forget Trump who runs a multibillion dollar business and employs thousands of people. Let’s get another Washingtonian paper-pusher who never did nothing but run for office and graduate from an elite law school.
“…a guy with less than two years experience in Washington before he ran for president,…”
Damn! What a mistake we made electing that Lincoln fella!
Yes, it was. He was a disaster for our Republic.
Amen to that, from the Daughters of the Confederacy!
He initiated a war that cost more american lives than any other. He insisted on tactics too gross for a butchershop. He suspended the constitutional right to habeas corpus. He deliberately and unnecessarily destroyed the economy of the South. He lied constantly. He stole their farms, homes, businesses, property and plantations from myriads of lawabiding citizens. Read the speeches he gave enroute to the presidency.
He therein contradicts himself over and over, telling his audience of the moment whatever he thinks they want to hear.
But, compared to the current sociopathic occupant of the White House, Lincoln was a truthteller!
Weak minds find profanity ‘entertaining’.
Oh … phooey, Laura! Someone needs to start saying things as they are and telling it the way that it is. The media sure has no intention of ever properly vetting the dude in charge. The Donald now needs to start talking about Wright and Ayers and asking more tough questions that the media hasn’t and won’t ask. Trump may be the little dog that revealed the man behind the curtain. How rude!
Thomas, I up your phooey to double hooey.
There is a time for genteel sensibilities and a time for street fighting, and those who are easily offended by trash talk will do well to leave the conversation, or, risk being offended.It is their choice.
Living in the middle of the NASTIEST region in the world I know from whence I speak.While nice, sweet, demur is fine for tea parties, times-are-a-changing, and the west(those who wish to survive) better get with the program.
Our enemies-leftists/Islamists and their fellow travelers-will devour us alive(yes, they will)if we insist on playing nice.So, if (otherwise) gutter talk will cause many to sit up, take notice and call them to action, then so be it.
It beats getting beaten to a pulp!!
You nailed it, Adina.
Two thumbs up, Laura.
“gentile”?
Jarvis, obviously he meant genteel, but we get the drift….
GREAT article!
Mr. Trump was only saying waht we were thinking, now he is saying it the way we are thinking it.
Lies and Political Correctness are the characteristics of an inept, stupid group called politicians, from the WH to the village hall.
Let’s call it the way it is.
Thanks Mr. Trump for starting the ‘New Wave’.
Finally someone saying what they mean and not cowtowing to political correctness or Obama.
Yes, there are a few things that I don’t agree with Trump on like Kelo, but we can fight against that. We do need someone who will stand up against some of these other countries instead of backing down and letting them walk all over us. And his going after Obama on his birth certificate, schhol papers and such? No, I’m not a birther, but it’s about damn time someone started riding Obama and riding him hard.
Trump is not afraid to say what the other politicans are too afraid to talk about.
Sure, Trumps views are not perfect. No politicans’ views are. But I am so happy to hear things I’ve been wanting to hear for years from politicians, including Bush.
Last election I begrudgingly voted for McCain because as bad as thought he would be, I knew Obama would be much worse and potentially dangerous. This time, if Trump runs, he just may get my vote!
With his former campaign platform of demanding to see President Obama’s birth certificate effectively having had its legs kicked out from under it,
That’s a strange way of putting it. When a campaign succeeds it’s bizarre to say it “had its legs kicked out from under it.”
What bothers me most about the criticism of Trump’s birth certificate campaign is the implication that Obama’s behavior was acceptable.
Obama should have released this thing two years ago and put the matter to rest. That he didn’t, speaks very poorly of him and not of Trump, who was quite right to make an issue of it.
And Trump is right in calling for the release of Obama’s school records.
Presidents and presidential candidates should have no expectation of privacy.
What is so hard in saying “you know, Mr. President, why not just release this stuff as well and put the matter behind us?”
The left would certainly do that if it were a Republican in the office, and they would be right to do it.
Why do people on the right constantly defend Democrats when they are in the wrong?
The birth certificate business has in fact only started rolling. Nothing got broken. Just wait and see what is in the Corsi book when it comes out.
Jazz, you say Trump’s “campaign effectively …. had its legs kicked out from under it”? I think not: he made the President show it. How many people do you know have made this President do anything? And if I didn’t know who he was before, I do now. Do you really see the showing of the certificate as a triumph for Obama? I may not vote for Trump, but he’s one smart billionaire. Are you? Smart, I mean?
I just finished an essay where I mention an article that attempts to document Trump’s disdain for black folks called
“‘Donald Trump Was Once Sued By Justice Department For Not Renting To Blacks’, although it bewilderingly points out that Trump referring to blacks as “blacks” was not taken well by blacks.”
I thought that was f__king funnier than f__k.
I really respect African Americans for their contributions to society, especially in the fields of sport and music. Most geniuses in music and sport in the last 100 years have in my opinion been African Americans. And I must admit that there is probably some good business sense in not renting out to African Americans even if many of them would turn out to be exemplary renters. As a demographic African Americans are statistically not as respectful to property as other demographics. I don’t think anybody would consider Harlem, Inglewood and Oakland to be heaven for landlords.
“Most geniuses in music and sport in the last 100 years have in my opinion been African Americans…”
Kind of like what the “gladiators” were to the Romans and Christians to the lions?
Hmmm…..think I’d want to know “the rest of the story” on that one for sure. Sounds like it could have been related to Swifton Village, a Cincinnati apartment project Trump cut his teeth on while still in college, working with his father. When they bought it, the building had 800 vacancies out of 1,200 units, and was plagued by what he calls “rent runners.” As he notes, “Our first big challenge was to find tenants who would pay rent….These tenants would rent a trailer, pile into it with their belongings in the middle of the night, and be gone. They had it down to an art form. I realized I’d have to hire someone for round-the-clock-patrol, which we did.” Sounds like a pretty shrewd class of perps to me, and given Cincy’s history of explosive racial tensions during the 60’s, when Trump was in college, I have no trouble imagining these same folks being adept at milking DOJ via spurious EEO claims. All of this is my surmise; he makes no allusions to DOJ in his description of the project in “Never Give Up” (the first of a stack of his books I finished, coincidentally, last night).
Let’s talk about the Donald’s nuttiest positions for a moment: seizing Iraq’s oil fields and taxing China 25%.
They aren’t so nutty.
We invested over $1T and more then 4,000 hero lives in Iraq. If we leave completely, there is no question that oil will go to enemies of this country. No question, period. Is is even slightly possible that Trump as president would choose not to start a world war and instead simple maintain a military presence and over time, persuade the nuts in Iraq that they should somehow pay us back for our treasure and sons. The answer to that is, of course. Take the prime-time exageration off the table, and his position isn’t nutty, it’s the essence of rationality.
Now, China. Well, I’m about as big a free-market advocate as you will find. In a vacuum, I’d oppose a 25% tax in a heartbeat. It’s looney. But wait just a minute, let’s explore a scenario. What if China put a 25% tax on all of OUR products, and what if they manipulated their currency to add another 50% premium on our products. I don’t know that they do that because I don’t understand enough about currencies and their tariffs, but what if the did? Would that be grounds for a 25% tax on THEIR products. Well maybe if the US was soaring economically, like we were before little lenin started his regime, we would just endure it; but of course, now little lenin has actively destroyed much of our dominance. So maybe Trump does know something about what China does and what we don’t do. Maybe he isn’t a nut.
Trump is negotiating, just like republicans should do, but are too stupid to do.
With all due respect to the author, if healthcare reform is a big effing deal then Trump is a super effing deal. And a revenue/job generating effing deal.
I suspect everyone has been tiptoeing around Barry his whole life, the MSM bought his BS as truth, embellished it and has continued to shout down anyone with a critique or a tough question. If Obama’s ego is a big effing balloon, does Trump have the MF-ing pins to pop it? Dunno, but it sure is fun watching the thin-skinned-wannabee-dictator squirm. Obama has been heckling the rich for a few years and it’s great to hear someone respond.
Who has greater appeal? The guy with the wacky hairdo, three marriages and fire in the belly or Chris Matthews’ ideal man, with an angry wife and a stone cold heart? It’s not even effing close. And neither one has what it takes to be a good president. Perhaps they are both carnival barkers, only one relies on a teleprompter.
Our politicians of today wouldn’t say “shit” if they had a mouthful – Trump on the other hand will happily say it. His willingness to call Obama out on a laundry list of hidden and glossed over details about his life that the MSM utterly failed to even politely ask Obama about is where Trump gains traction. Only by revealing these hidden and stashed away ‘facts’ will Obama be able to shut Trump up. And I’m willing to bet he won’t easily give up what appear to be deep dark secrets.
Trump is far from perfect as a candidate for President but at least he has the cohones to say “shit” when he’s got a mouthful of it.
I like a guy who says what he thinks, it is so refreshing to hear a man who talks like most men really do, rather than some B.S. politician who says only what he/she thinks the public will buy so they can get elected. Trump may not get elected but he will definitely bring light to issues long needing the light of truth shinning upon them.
Convince your family, convince your friends, convince your neighbors and your dental hygienist and your family doctor and your co-workers and your facebook acquaintances and random strangers and everybody you possibly can: TRUMP MUST BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
No matter what issues you may have with Trump, remember this one stark, terrifying fact: NOBODY ELSE CAN BEAT OBAMA. If anyone other than Trump gets the nomination, it’s game over. Obama will be re-elected. THAT MUST NOT HAPPEN!
Spread the word. Trump/West in 2012!
Daniels/Rubio or Romney/Rubio would be a formidable ticket. I think several people can beat Obama and force him to take responsibiity for the underachieving economy. To use his phraseology, he’s had the keys to the car, he’s run it in a ditch, and is counting on people believing the detour was all Bush’s fault. The quieter Dubya is the more dishonest (and clueless) the Prez appears. Let the debates begin!
Rubio said today he will not accept the VP slot. So much for that…
I would say that Trump/West would be a formidible ticket, but I can hear the shouts of “house n****r” and “Uncle Tom” being thrown West’s way now… it would be brutal. I like him though.
Romney? ROMNEY?
You are painfully clueless! Romney is almost as bad as Obama!
at least six republicans can beat little lenin.
The number would be much larger if we had an honest press in this country. If that were the case, anybody with an R after his or her name would be an overwhelming favorite.
Sarah Palin could hand him a pink slip – “You’re fired!” – and send him on his way, I betcha.
I like Trump’s spirit, but not his style or his content. Spirit, alone, is like oratorical style on an empty suit: unfit for duty.
I did like Trump, but don’t appreciate his language in this outburst. He needs to tone it down just a bit. Not his assault on Obama’s past, bringing some scrutiny to it is way past due, about three years past due. Trump is definitely unique and a breath of fresh air on the political scene. He should attract moderate men, but probably will offend moderate women. Whether he can attract and win enough conservatives in the primary is questionable. I hope he runs, he is interesting to say the least. Naturally, I would vote for him over Obama, though I would vote for my dog over obama so that’s not saying much. What is his view on our second amendment rights?
I don’t know if Mr. Trump is the person for the job but I must admit I like many of the things that he is saying. As far as being conservative though, I don’t see him as being one. He doesn’t believe in cutting spending as much as he believes in increasing income. At least he isn’t talking about getting that income from the backs of the people directly. I do question his percentage taxation strategy against China though; sounds too much like a really good way to set off price wars and a rebirth of Nationalism.
If Mr. Trump was to select a strong, intelligent conservative running mate such as Michelle Bachman or Herman Cain for instance (Chris Christie? we could only hope) I think it would do a great deal to increase his curb appeal to staunch conservatives.
In short, I’m not sold but still listening with an open mind and an optimistic heart. In the end, anyone is better than the jackwagon we’ve got right now.
While Mr. Trump is entertaining and has been fearless on the birth certificate issue, he fails on policy. The only one out there who has been consistently leading on policy and still rallys a crowd, is feared by the left – and is not in campaign mode because it is way too soon is….
Sarah Palin. While the press is doing everything to ignore her, she is still busy speaking and raising money for charities and is still the biggest draw for republicans. She ignites a fire on the right and that is what we need, plain speaking conservatism with a plan.
Palin/West 2012
Trump and Obama are thieving clowns, and I’ve suffered once clown too many already.
No sale.
Trump, the chicken hawk boy, a democrat in drag–you didn’t know democrats could be chicken hawks? Yup, I bet he was talking the same sh.. in ’68. We build ‘em new roads and they blow them up; hey, hey, LBJ, how many boys did you kill today? Why are we not carpet bombing North Vietnam back to the stone age? We can send men to the moon, but we won’t obliterate Hanoi. But I don’t need another motherf—medical excuse and draft deferment number five, ’cause I got a motherf–high number on the lottery! I’m cool.
You got it: something like Bill Clinton, right? The smoking, but not inhaling, no-sex-I-am-chaste paragon of desistance.
“Why are we not carpet bombing North Vietnam back to the stone age?”
We did big boy….NV looks like the surface of the moon from our B52′s. But it’s weasels like you who threw bags of sheet at the cops in Chicago…..that forced our guys to back down. We were never…NEVER…defeated militarily in Vietnam while we were there.
Hey…while you’re at it….kiss jane fondas wrinkled ass for me too.
BTW….I’m one of the few left who was there first hand…big boy.
With a Tac Recon unit.
So I know all about the craters…all you know about is the crack of the fonda and your hero…..”I got 4 Purple Hearts” for acid reflux and an upset stomach….Kerry.
The wonder boy of the traitorous winter soldier fame.
Thank you for speaking up for the valorous men who were there, and those who never came home. And thank you for serving there.
Here, Wheatie, let me help you:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sarcasm
And don’t worry about those B-52s. I’m quite sure they’ll fly right over your head.
I have never been a fan of Trump before, but let me say something.
First, the release of Obama’s birth certificate is a victory for Trump and a defeat for Obama. The birth certificate had been hidden by Obama for years, despite all the lying media claiming the birth certificate had in fact been released. Then Trump publicly demanded the birth certificate and at last it was released (for real). Yet all the media pundits, including conservatives, are portraying this as some sort of victory for Obama. This is simply incomprehensible.
Second, Trump says a lot of right and good things (such as about OPEC and our catastrophic Middle East policy under the last two administrations), that nobody else is saying. This alone makes his campaign of significant value for the country. Yet the pundits, practically without exception, by focusing exclusively on such things as “the birther issue” and “the f-bombs”, are pretending that Trump’s substantive statements simply don’t exist. This is ominous.
Whether Trump wins or loses (the primaries), I’m looking forward to the debates. I will especially pay attention to see how other candidates react to some of Trump’s unfashionable yet perfectly sensible views, whether these will be dismissed out of hand to appear “respectable”. I expect that may disqualify many a candidate.
It is also worth noting that Trump is better-informed and more intelligent than most of the pundits trying to dismiss him as some airhead celebrity.
Shaw is but another card-carrying member of the Republican wing of the Cocktail Party, hoping that, if he murmurs his criticisms of Obama quietly whilst staring at his feet, the Demonrat bully boys will use lube.
I hold no particular brief for Trump; his record makes it seem likely that he is another Cocktail Partier. But one thing that I must admire him for: whilst Obama and the mainline media were able to brush off demands for the actual birth certificate for over two years, in a few days the Donald got the Barack to cringe and offer it up in trembling hands.
When Khrushchev banged his shoe in the UN, Eisenhower was president and Nixon was the vice president, not president, of the United States.
Trump is NOT more than average in intelligence who has both internal and external lawyers of high caliber along with inhouse and external experts on all the trades he deals with. Since his big come back from essentially bankruptcy, several years ago, he has followed advise and learned how to use the media to advance his brands…quite successfully.
His personality and showmanship is based in ‘scripting and timing’ and not principals as is further evidenced on his boatload of social and political flip-flops over the years. A classic egotistical opportunist.
Excellent summation. He’ll flip and he’ll flop in whatever direction suits him at the moment.
He’s actually worse than Romney in some respects. At lease Romney’s flip flops are carefully calculated.
Trump has a habit of shooting from the hip without knowing what he’s shooting at.
And Romney believes God is a flesh and blood man who lives on a planet called Kolab and spends his time making love to his thousands of wives. And that we can all achieve the same exalted status if we will sign on with his demonic church and give them ten percent of our incomes.
I’ll bet you just can’t wait for that nutcase to get in office, right?
