Trump for US President?



Roosevelt and Churchill didn't seem like they walked on eggshells either. I fail to see the problem.
 
You're comparing the leadership abilities of Roosevelt and Churchill to Trump? Ummm, ok... conversation over. :)
 
LOL someone on redstate is going after him

Trump has supported nearly all of Obama’s economic policy agenda

In July, Donald Trump made a statement about the 2008 financial crisis that left many conservatives perplexed:
“I identify with some things as a Democrat…I was never a Bush fan. [When] the economy crashed so horribly under George Bush, because of mistakes they made having to do with banking and lots of other things, I don’t think the Democrats would have done that.”
​
Now to be sure, there is plenty of blame to be spread around. Both parties in Congress, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and even the American public all contributed to the crisis.

But if Trump thinks that the Democrats were not to blame, well, I will refer him to Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.

Trump’s statement prompted me to research what he thought about the economy-and proposals to fix it-during the end of Bush’s term and the beginning of Obama’s term (of which he had high hopes):


...

Throw in his misunderstanding of the economic effects of immigration and free trade, and the current GOP front-runner is one confused man when it comes to the economy.
Of course Trump understands the real estate and entertainment businesses. But his skill in those areas clearly has not translated to a broader understanding of free market principles.

If Republican voters care about those principles, more than say, bluster, it will only be a matter of time before Trump fades. Otherwise, and it is a very real possibility, the GOP just may nominate another candidate who represents more of the same economic failures of the past.

Jon's remarks about Trumps 'success' on the last page were pretty spot on. If you have not seen it yet, this documentary http://trumpthemovie.com/watch is worth a watch. It was originally made years ago but never released due to legal pressure from Trump. With his presidential candidacy the filmmaker decided to release it.

Trailer:

He absolutely would not be where he is today without his fathers money and political connections. I'm not denying that the guy is a shrewd operator but anybody who votes for him is a fucking idiot.
 
Jon said it best, most people that like him have no idea except his purely entertainment, which people love. His talking shit about Hispanics, about women, about everybody with great disrespect and people love him. It's the new culture of complete idiocy and it's winning. Its a cluster fuck that started years ago and kept on building in the republicans side, that's how he popped up and his riding the wave.

Where did Trump talk bad about women?

Is saying something negatively about one or a couple of women now considered an attack on women in general?

If that is the case, then it's weird that Trump actually leads the women vote.

Also this. It is getting interesting...

"I would change it. I would simplify it," Trump told hosts Mark Halperin and John Heilemann from the lobby of Trump Tower on New York's 5th Ave. Specifically, Trump targeted hedge fund profits, which are currently taxed at a lower rate than regular income.

Asked whether his proposed changes meant he was prepared to raise taxes on himself, the billionaire framed his answer in terms of fairness.
"That's right. That's right. I'm OK with it. You've seen my statements, I do very well, I don't mind paying some taxes. The middle class is getting clobbered in this country. You know the middle class built this country, not the hedge fund guys, but I know people in hedge funds that pay almost nothing and it's ridiculous, OK?"

lol and then further on in the same article he says he wants to lower corporate tax rates.

His solution to the problem involves lowering corporate taxes.

"Let the money come in, tax it at a much lower rate, and let the money come in," Trump said, adding. "This is money that could be spent in this country, and they can't get it in."

So he's going to raise taxes on the wealthy, but lower corporate taxes... right. Aren't they complete fucking opposites? can anyone explain how that works? Don't the majority of 'wealthy' folk make their money through corporations?

Capital Gains Tax.

What's your point? the ultra rich aren't getting rich by selling assets...

They're getting rich buying and selling real estate and stocks, receiving dividens and interest. In particular the hedge fund guys he's talking about. Taxes on capital income in the US are very low to a maximum of 20% at the same limit where that income earned in employment would be 40% according to this.

As it looks to me the middle class get royally screwed in some state in the US with tax rate approaching European levels, while receiving very little in return.

Trump wants to tax non-productive financial speculation more and tax productive work less. It is an excellent idea.

I think you mean Dividends Tax Mr Putin lover. I am a supporter of a zero percent dividends tax. Just like it is in HK. Keep that in mind next time you call me an SJW.

I guess I am a supporter of social justice. But it's certainly not from big government or high taxes. Call if an Arizona libertarian or a bleeding heart libertarian if you must. Look it up.

Yes, you're a limousine liberal. Full of compassion and support for the marginalized outgroups but you vehemently hate your ingroup, probably because they remind you of yourself and thereby lessens your opinion of yourself as a unique snowflake. If only you could be the only white man in Asia right?
