What do you think if Donald Trump Runs for President in 2016

Sgt David G Duchesneau — Thu, 28 May 2015 21:12:31 -0400

Donald Trump will make a “major announcement” on June 16 at New York City’s Trump Tower before heading to New Hampshire the next day, according to WMUR-9 in New Hampshire.

The schedule will add to the speculation that Trump will run for the White House in 2016 after flirting with a bid in 2012.
Trump has also bashed President Obama for not doing enough to protect America and root out the terrorist threat. He told Fox News’ Greta van Susteren Wednesday on “On the Record” that he has a “foolproof” plan to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, but declined to elaborate.

“If I run and if I win, I don’t want the enemy to know what I am doing,” he said. Unfortunately, I will probably have to tell at some point but there is a method of defeating them quickly and effectively and having total victory.”

He can afford to blow a few dollars on self-promotion but don't think that he's seriously running. He just likes to promote the brand (Trump)...

I really don't mind, I'll listen to what he has to say, anything is better than what we have now, with Hillary, or with that jackass socialist Sanders. Well hell they're all communist and socialist in my opinion :-)

He's a lunatic whose only goal is promotion of his own brand. He stirs up controversy all because his name also happens to be on a whole lot of buildings. But whatever, even if he did run, he wouldn't make it far.

He is a blowhard and right now undeclared he is in the top ten for the first debate. Unlike Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich who would run every four years. I don't think it has got past his bluster.

Yes, a business man who has crashed and burned more financial enterprises than is conceivable considering his reputation somehow miraculously has a "fool proof" strategy to militarily achieve a total victory. This despite having absolutely no military experience or education in warfare. The man is a blowhard, and borderline megalomaniac, and I can think of very few people who would be a worse President of the United States. In the unlikely event that he actually announces his candidacy as opposed to dancing around it like he did the last election cycle to garner publicity then he will be ripped to shreds by his competition. He'll be forced to confront the reality of his past, and worse, have his past be brought into the public light to have his public perception as a brilliant businessman shattered. It would be the death of his brand, which is the only thing he has going for him.

He's never a serious contender...just wants to remain in the headlines and relevant.

@Sgt David G Duchesneau

Rule 1) Better than Obama or Hilliary
Rule 2) Rule 1 is not a high standard to beat...

Him running on the GOP ticket adds nothing. Trump has always been about self-promotion. He leverages deals to the hilt and then goes into bankruptcy allowing the creditors to take a hit, just like what is happening right now to the Trump Casino in Atlantic City.

I hope the next President is a competent man or woman who is looking to do the right thing for the average American. I don't want to see the President on ESPN or late night TV, stop trying to be everybody's friend, just run the place and don't act like an ass.

Balance the budget, w/o raising taxes, have a tin ear to ALL special interests, especially large government bureaucracy and crony capitalists, who just want more money.

Romney ran last time, he was a money man and GOP lost.
If Trump were the GOP nominee it will be...
Rinse, Repeat, same result. Welcome to President Hilliary!

If the GPO wants an Executive mouth than they better do their best to weed out candidates. Any one with side agendas, like Trump and his attention-seeking ways, should be dumped immediately. Also, he's a racist, anti-semitic, fraud.

Sounds like he wants to sell me a pig in a poke without even allowing me to see if he actually has a poke.

On the other hand, if you assume that the total forces on "the other side" in the war on terror come to 100,000 then (using the FY15 figures) you could pension them all off at around $740,000 each annually.

There are VERY few "insurgents" and/or "revolutionaries" who earn three-quarters of a million dollars per year.

In fact, if you pensioned them all off at $500,000 (tax free) per year, you'd actually save money and give such a boost to the economies of their countries that you wouldn't have to worry about "The War On Terror" for a looooooooooooooooooong time to come.

I wouldn't vote for him but it would be interesting to see just how far he makes it and how many votes he gets if he does run.

The only thing Trump is good for is deflecting the media off real candidates. Let them throw mud at him, while somebody else builds their campaign.

It keeps Hiliary out of the news. I get a kick out of Trumps hair. I would rather see his hair that Clinton face. Clinton freaks me out. Trump is like Wizard of Oz (all flash and living in a fantasy land).
