Donald Trump announces he is running for president calling the United States 'a dumping ground for everybody else's problems'
It is refreshing to see someone who isn't ashamed of Capitalism and his personal success entering the Presidential Race and voicing the thoughts so many of us have.
Being independently wealthy definitely has its rewards. You know that he will not be beholden to anyone, which was one of the most pleasant aspects of the heroes in AS.
He has siphoned off hundreds of millions of government funds for his fancy failures.
Another in the sterling line of GOP looters like Rumsfeld (another Donald!) and Mitt Romney.
Trump as president is more disgusting than Hillary. (Ok, equally disgusting.)
Trump:
* has created countless real jobs
* built towering structures incorporating lavish public spaces
* proven that he can rescue failed government projects
by completing the long delayed renovation of Wollman Rink
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wollman_Ri...>
* given vast sums to worthy charities
* seems genuinely dedicated to moving people from welfare to jobs
* would do whatever is needed to end the wholesale invasion of our country by moochers, criminals, and potential terrorists
Hillary:
* would fight for open borders and welcome the moochers onto the dole and voter rolls with open arms
* failed to defend our people in Bengazi while they were under protracted attack
* presided over the rather undeniable meltdown of the Middle East under her tenure as Secretary of State
* would campaign on race baiting, forced redistribution of wealth, and greater government control of the economy
More importantly, with respect to Trump, what is the basis for your claim that "He has siphoned off hundreds of millions of government funds for his fancy failures."
Are you intending to imply that Tump engaged in any potentially criminal activity or took any actions in his business dealings that were not in full compliance with any applicable laws and regulations?
What is the factual basis for your assertion that Trump, Rumsfeld, and Romney are looters?
Please fully document all of your claims so we can evaluate our Presidential options on an Objective Basis.
I like this one best (but it's a parody ;^)

More serious from LA Times:

The Wollman rink was a smart biz move, no doubt, and I expect Trump would profit personally by every deal he would negotiate for himself (and his pals in the bankster cartel) as POTUS.
I admit Hillary's record is hard to top, but I am confident in Trump's ability to loot.
Hilary loots without creating any jobs that help the economy in any way. Trump loots and at least creates some work for some people in the process.
Hillary = Lilian
Trump = Boyle
Both bring about the same end so both perhaps equal, but no way Trump is worse than Hillary.
He will speak his piece, however un-PC that might be.
It's going to be a blast.
This does not mean that I'd ever vote for him.
Merely that I think he makes a fantastic spoiler.
Trump said he will build that border wall and make Mexico pay for it.
I'd really like to see him try to do that.
Entertain the old dino, Trump.

I support Trump. We need a person to run our government like a business. We need a businessman not a politician. By self financing the majority of his campaign, he will not be beholden to the so called movers and shakers that have got us into this mess. Unlike all the rest he will tell you like it is and not use PC talk like the politicians do. Why not give the guy a chance to give his ideas on making America great again.

can't see him as a Hank Rearden. I think Trump
is just a big show-off; he seems like the re-incar-
nation of P.T. Barnum.
Trump has been close to bankruptcy how many times? Did he pull in his belt, no he let the government declare him "too big to fail." Who took the hit and paid the price - all the small businesses who ate the losses.l
When he wanted land for a casino and could not get the owners of an apartment complex running it successfully to sell, what did he do? He used Agenda 21 tactics to convince the zoning people he was better for the city, and had them condemn the building. It is hard to respect his version of capitalism.

The evidence that Donald Trump shares the ideas and values of the conservative movement is scant, but Trump’s message that everyone is beating us and, “The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems,” is so true, so obvious and so appealing that it resonates with practically everyone outside the professional political class who are largely the cause of these disasters. What's more, unlike many of the other Republican candidates, Trump understands brand management, and if he manages his brand correctly, in the Republican establishment's worst nightmare, he will be a contender.
Trump might not be my final pick but he sure will take these politicians to task during the run up and that can't be anything but good! I believe he would actually follow through on any promises he makes unlike the rest who say what we need to hear and then do nothing and fold.
It is an embarrassment of unsupported BS promises. (That part is typical for a politician.)
Sounds like Trump thinks the job of POTUS is identical to acting a part on The Apprentice where no one else is allowed to speak and the audience is filled with people with IQ's below 80.
His promises sound like they were prepared by someone with such an IQ.
Second, in "the Art of the Deal", Trump's strongest point is to structure deals with the upside on your side of the table and all or most of the downside on the lender or partner's side of the table. Wouldn't it be refreshing for a President with American interests in mind negotiated agreements that gave us the "Lion's Share" of the upside?
Progressives have an economic model that call for population control, euthanasia, population reduction, etc. The only way to prosper with a static pie chart is to reduce the consumers. Capitalism offers a way to create a larger pie through innovation, productivity gains, and re-employing the idle. IMHO Growth is a better economic plan than population reduction and control.
I still believe government standard time (GST, the slow moving process of legislation) would make Trump crazy.
