Trump is a bloviating fool...


...Trump bemoaned U.S. costs sustained during its wars in the Middle East and floated the idea of "taking" Iraqi oil. Stephanopoulos countered incredulously, "So, we steal an oil field?" Trump responded, "Excuse me. You're not stealing anything. You're taking — we're reimbursing ourselves." Given how many U.S. leaders have had to stress to their Middle East interlocutors that they're not in it simply for the oil, Trump would be starting off regional relations on pretty slippery ground.
 
He'd get nothing done. He can't fire Congress and he's a birther....the only reason you like him.

Mitt has the same view of the Presidency....that one just gives orders and everybody jumps.

Day one: "Repeal HCR and fix the economy! I'm taking the family to France. It better be done when I get back, dammit!"

I love the internets...

Previous World's Best Statesmen are Haley Barbour, Charlie Crist, Connie Mack...and that Benjamin Franklin of 2000, Katherine "Chicken Dance" Harris...

The Sarasota GOP fundraiser is clearly based on a highly absurd understanding of what constitutes a "Statesman".



But the question remains, how does a guy who has never held elective office deserve a statesman award? Particularly from a political group in Florida? (Was negotiating a peace between Clay Aiken and Arsenio Hall really that hard?)
The statesman award has an odd recent history. Last November, the group gave it to Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, seven months after he dropped out of the presidential race and nearly a year after his controversial comments which seemed to dismiss the impact of racist Citizens Councils in his own state during the civil rights struggle of the 1960s.


Those comments damaged his campaign and may have led him to drop out of the presidential race, but didn't stop the Sarasota GOP from giving him a statesman award at a ceremony also attended by then-candidate Herman Cain.
Before then, the statesmen recipients seemed to be Florida politicians, including former Gov. Charlie Crist in 2009, Rep. Katherine Harris and Connie Mack.

That's exactly the sort of rationalization one would expect to hear from a bent real estate developer.

IF you really believe that, I suggest you put your money where your mouth is.

Dig up some of that gold you've got buried in your back yard and invest it in one of Trump's real estate deals.

He'll get things dome!!! (He'll make your money disappear, and that's job one for The Donald).

Job Two is getting free publicity for himself by panding to right wing morons, always a gullible and easily manipulated audience.

LOL, thanks for providing the best laugh of the day and thanks for proving once again how far the GOP has come from a party that can be taken seriously. I had no idea Trump was a 'Statesman.' I guess the lingering question would be...how much did he have to pay...um, I mean donate to receive this great honor? LOL
 
STOP IT, STOP IT, NCmusicman. It only hurts when I laugh and I''m suffering with pain on that one. OUCH! OUCH!
