Donald Trump for president?

[mdl]

If you want the guy who really constructed that budget look at John Kasich, republican governor of Ohio. He was the chairman of the house budget Committee who was the lead architect for that budget in 1997. He's the guy who helped bridge house republicans and Clinton to get that budget passed.

Unfortunately, you or I have as good a chance of winning the GOP primary as Kasich.  He's a (Christian) socialist after all, quoting Matthew and talking about stealing my tax dollars to give shit away to the poor, rationalizing it talking about having answers at the pearly gates and all.  Communist Manchurian candidate if you ask me.

They appear to start straight and then go extremely right.

Admit It: You People Want To See How Far This Goes, Don’t You?

The latest polls are out, and just as I predicted, I’m leading the Republican presidential race by a wide margin. You might be wondering how that could be. After all, it’s hardly been a month since I entered the field and I’ve already alienated America’s largest immigrant population, seen dozens of my high-profile business deals implode one after the other, and publicly insulted a national hero’s military service, all while not offering a single viable policy idea. But none of that matters at all, and my candidacy continues to surge forward, because none of you—not a single one of you—can look away. Not even for a second.

Admit it: You people want to see just how far this goes, don’t you?

I'm still trying to figure out which crowd those are meant for.  People who like Donald Trump or people who want to smack him as hard as they can in the face with a big stick?

He needs to offset the lost business and fund his campaign.    His business is known to go bankrupt.

The satire was humorous, too.

“They didn’t read ‘The Art of the Deal.’” —Donald Trump, on “Morning Joe,” referring to his 1987 best-seller, critiquing the treaty with Iran

So I called you here today because I think it’s important to get this deal signed. I mean important to you, I frankly don’t care that much. You’re talking atom bombs, we have the best atom bombs in the world — fantastic, incredible atom bombs. I had them all redone in bronze when I was elected, because we’re a world-class country, and let’s face it, gunmetal gray isn’t a very attractive color even for a 500-megaton weapon that could set your beard on fire from 250 miles away.

Which I’m not saying to threaten you. Because I don’t have to threaten you, that’s not how I negotiate. I understand your position. You’ve got all these centrifuges that are, basically, don’t take this the wrong way, they’re pieces of junk, and you need to get rid of them. So if you’re asking will we take them off your hands, the answer is yes, we will, if the price is right.

But I gotta tell you, I’m just not that impressed with what you’re offering. I could walk away from this deal right now and tomorrow I could buy all the uranium in Iran with what NBC paid me for one season. And then you know what I would do with it? I’d enrich it. Who knows more about enrichment than me?

I want to say something for your own good. Because I’m worried you might be thinking of going with Russia. Russia is for losers. And China is worse. Maybe I shouldn’t be saying this, but I’ll say it anyway because I like to speak my mind. I heard this from someone very, very high up in the government. I don’t want to say who. But he told me, China is a total joke.

Look, I love your country. You have some incredible ruins. Flying here, I saw at least three sites where I would love to put a world-class golf course and casino. And the Iranian people are my biggest fans. They love all the things the Trump name stands for: freedom, democracy, elegance, class, 10-foot-6 ceiling heights and granite countertops. I said to my vice president the other day, “Oprah, do you think I can be president of Iran and America at the same time?” Because I honestly think I could get elected here. “Celebrity Apprentice” has been on reruns for six years here, and it’s still the highest-rated program in the history of Iranian television.

So look, we’ve been negotiating all morning. I’ve closed deals for some of the most expensive, luxurious apartments in the world in less time. I’ve got a major golf tournament starting in a few hours. So if you want to make a deal, call my assistant and she’ll fax over a treaty. Secretary of State Hannity will handle the details.

Good stuff, @Mr. Desmond .   The satire is spot on with D Trump's likely behavior as a US president.  It's not too far from what he has been saying on Mexico, ISIS, China, McCain, ....   I still can't understand that there are 17% (or so) of Republicans willing to nominate him.   Surely, after DT's McCain comment, the next poll result will show DT losing ground.

McCain is a war hero but the GOP as a whole isn't a big fan of his.  Those that voiced their outrage at DT likely were placating their constituents who were POW's and veterans, not really trying to defend McCain.

I think most of them were genuinely defending McCain and at the same time, used it to pounce on DT.   I'd like to believe that they are better than what you think above.   I am not a Republican and am not a big fan of McCain.  But I was outraged by DT's remark, especially. given that he managed to avoid serving in military.   All these lead to DT's being a narcissistic egomaniac.

And yet another low for DT, he gives out Graham's cell phone number.   He's acting like a spoiled brat.

He's acting like a Reality TV Star, which he is. Is he going to pick a Kardashian or Snooky for VP?  Maybe Caitlyn Jenner?

I'm not sure the quoted "double-digit lead" is that much fun is it?

Seriously though, could Trump really get the Republican nomination?

The problem in the U.S. right now is that many people want to say no friggin way, but its hard to tell any longer. I think he's getting so cavalier and loony that the curtain will close soon. In one week he's called out a 5-year Vietnam vet and POW who's been in the Senate for 25 years for "getting captured" and released a personal cell phone number as a gimmick on national television. What's the encore, releasing Hillary Clinton's credit card account numbers to the NY Times? I wouldn't be surprised to see several civil suits come his way if this stuff keeps up.

I don't think so.   He cornered the far rights of Rep party.   As candidates drop out one by one, their supporters are more likely to vote for more sane candidate than DT.  My 2 cents.
