I take it you're a supporter of Trump. If he's a Democrat (and I think he is) and he passes himself off as a Republican as to campaigning, he is not a legitimate candidate for the Republican party. He might be for the Libertarian party, but as a Republican, he's illegitimate and maybe not in the strictest sense, but in the technical sense he is in effect usurping the campaign from any legitimate Republicans if he is enabled to carry it far enough, at least as far as I'm concerned.
Trump is dangerous, and if we don’t look out he is going to do in 2012 what Perot did back in 1992 which gave us Clinton, but in this case the re-election of Obama; he’ll skew the election, and our one opportunity to get rid of Obama will be lost. And Obama can do more than twice the damage in another four years than in the first four, when he has no further elections to concern himself with. He will say he has a mandate, “because the people have re-elected me”
As Glen Beck said to Bill O’Reilly after Bill’s Trump interview: “I’m concerned about him; I’d have thought he’d have things more thought out, but I admire him his knowledge of economics”
I assume that Beck’s opinion about his economic acumen comes from his ability to make deals as a developer and a builder, when he mentions economics. Of course he has only succeeded because he has borrowed so much money that the banks consider him “too big to fail”
Trump says he will tell the Chinese they have to quit manipulating their currency as it relates to ours, that he will impose a 25% tax on everything they send here (think Tariff), and that will turn them around. He says they won’t sell our bonds because they’d lose value, and they’d have to take the hit;
I presume he hasn’t given any thought to the possibility that they can simply take our bonds and circulate them as money to buy raw resources (oil, natural gas, copper, steel, technology, whatever they need that they don’t already have), and we’ll have to pay up to those countries who will own those bonds, in lieu of us paying back the Chinese.
He’s said we have a right to grab Iraqi oil, and his grandstanding Obama’s birth certificate, may be a lot of fun but it’s not a winner to the American people IMO.
Perot was called "a loose cannon with a bad haircut," and that fits Trump to a T.
