jokes about sleeping with his daughter.

That's News to me, do you have a source for this information?

He's said that in different ways at times, not exactly PC....but more like stupid. You don't need to like this particular video, but there are others with less comment.

a reply to: smurfy

Thank you for the video.

However what I am hearing is "Yellow Journalism".

Yes Trump made those comments but people are assuming he IS having sex with his daughter, and that can't be any further from the truth.

Trump is very proud of his daughter and yes she is a beauty. Nothing wrong in a father paying his daughter a very high compliment.

Yes Trump stated in an interview that if his daughter were not his, and he was single he would date her. Of course he would, wouldn't you?

Trump has good taste when it comes to woman.

Now people for what ever reasons are demonizing Trump for those statement because he is running for Presidency.

Well, it wasn't News worthy when he made those comments, now years later it National News.

How convenient for the Trump haters.

So many spins on the candidates is making my head hurt. I do agree with the points you made, but why the hatred? Couldn't Trump have communicated things better. Would help me believe in him more.

He never communicates better, go back and read some of his speeches, go back and read some of the things hes said
Research some of the things hes done to reporters all the way back to the 90s, his lies, his vitriol, his advances towards women that were turned down,and once turned down he would stalk them and send them mail with him in it , with creepy sayings.

Hes a psychopath, clinical

That's what I mean. He hasn't. If he's such a great guy why can't he show more tact. Honesty. It would better align with his so called mission or whatever you would call it to challenge the eatablishment

How?

But playing their game by their rules?

No, you can't beat the house by playing their games by their rules.

You have to either play your own game, or make your own rules.

He is doing both.

If he were in the right state of mind to run a country then you would have a point. He would make a great economic advisor sure, but he does not have the proper temperament to be in control of the worlds most powerful military. nukes and all.

I said it before.

I don't like Trump, but the man makes all the right enemies.

Double entendre?

So ATSer's do you believe if the Republican party changes their rules at the convention and block Trump from winning, do you believe the Republican party will be finished?

I hope the republican party is finished.

I will wait in line to dance on their grave.

Yes, of course they will change rules, etc., they have in the past and will do it again. Finished, they'd like to think not. I'm talking about the establishment GOP that would do anything they can to get their way including offing Trump. It might just help destroy them but it will also give credit to the Dems as the better/least of the worst party (maybe unless Bernie comes forth more), when they pull off the same corruption.

a reply to: Informer1958

Something I don't understand is how so many Pro-Trump people overlook the fact that he is part of the problem now and is one of the inside members who did his part in making it happen.

He has admitted it himself early on in his running when he said that he himself has been the one buying favors from politicians in the past. He proudly admits to it and then tries using it as some kind of badge of honor while saying that is what is so great about him and his wealth. That he can't be bought. But that's BS. Everyone has a price and Trump has his and if it's not money it's something else. But I personally think it could easily be money depending upon what the true amount of his wealth really is.

But let's say for now that he really can't be bought. Not by money or favors or promises of his name having a legacy. Let's say his is truly beyond a bribe. Does it change the fact that he admits to being part of the corruption in the past??? Him and people like him are what we all rant and rave about on here all the time. The corrupt wealthy and privileged members of society who buy or are bought to rig the system for them and against the rest of us. Do you honestly believe that kind of leopard really changes it's spots???

All this talk about him being uncontrollable or untouchable because of his wealth and how he's some kind of rebel. It's BS window dressing and bogus flashy advertising. Just like all of his projects. Glitter on the outside packed with cheap, sweatshop materials and cut corners. He's not the hero who's bucking the system. He's one of the manipulators of the system itself. The very system that is in place now that he helped prop up and buy with his dirty money. Why isn't anyone else addressing this???

a reply to: DimensionalChange03

like violating international law

Trump has violated International Law ? How and in what instance ?

If one of the associated cabals that runs government thinks it can get away with it, and it looks like Trump is winning despite their best efforts otherwise, yes they will try to off him. Hell, one of those groups just assassinated Scalia and everyone already forgot about it.

More likely though, is where the republican party straight up steals the nomination from him. That would absolutely destroy the republican party. Though it might actually cause the rise of a legitimate 3 party system.

This affects all Americans who get the short end of the stick… Democrats and Republicans and Independents.

Former U. S. Secretary of Education , William J. Bennett's frankly candid and shocking observations of Donald Trump's impact on the behavior of the entrenched Washington D. C. bureaucrats in both parties -- and the risk The Donald faces in so doing.

What I See Happening In a Trump Presidency
By Bill Bennett

They will kill him before they let him be president. It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the shutting up of Trump.
Don't be surprised if Trump has an accident. Some people are getting very nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few.

It's about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it's in all of their interests to protect one another. It's one for all and all for one.

It's a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We're the patsies. But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened.

Donald Trump can self-fund. No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business, and political elite understand that Trump is no joke. He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart. It's no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald. It's because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club. They talk big, but they won't change a thing. They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations - like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations.

These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money. But there's one man who isn't beholden to anyone There's one man who doesn't need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teacher's union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign.

Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn't need anyone's help. That means he doesn't care what the media says. He doesn't care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat to those people. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.

Don't you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don't you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama? Don't you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to de-fund Obamacare or Obama's clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right?

First, I'd guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything.

Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account. The NSA, the SEC, the IRS, and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They surveil everything. Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists, so they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment. Fourth , why rock the boat? After defeat or retirement, if you're a good old boy, you've got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting. The big-money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose, they win.

But Trump doesn't play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media, and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the Presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides but not Trump. Remember: Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama's birth certificate. He questioned Obama's college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university. Now, he's doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do.

He's questioning our relationship with Mexico; he's questioning why the border is wide open; he's questioning why no wall has been built across the border; he's questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; he's questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes, yet are not deported; and he's questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.

There'a more to read in the link above.

This is the only reason I support Trump. It's not that I like Trump personally, I don't.

However, Trump has helped exposed how corrupt Congress really is and we are witnessing it unfold in the mainstream media and their Press.

This really amazes me, now we get to witness how the Powers That Be in Washington control what supposed to be We The People elections.

We have been fools to believe our votes count and the elections are fare and not corrupt. But what we are witnessing is the opposite.

My "opinion" is, if the Republicans change their rules to stop Trump from being nominated, when he has the most votes, then I believe the Republican party will be over.

So ATSer's do you believe if the Republican party changes their rules at the convention and block Trump from winning, do you believe the Republican party will be finished?

Gotta say, that's very revealing. Thanks for bringing this to the attention of the ATS community.

Jimstone said some time ago that the purpose of breaking El Chapo out of goal was use him to get rid of Trump.

Link

PS. someone tried to get some info to Jimstone that showed Trump will loose becuase he's not managing some part of the voting process properly. Seems to have something to do with how delgates are counted or allocated. Something like that.

I'm amazed they are even existing. Honestly, I'm even more amazed about the entire US elections process. It's out of this world...literally.

I'm amazed that Hillary Clinton is a politician, let alone presidential candidate.

But to answer your question...I think they should be burried by that decision...if it happens. But somehow...I think that sheepish nature of human beings will alow them to do whatever they want...and get away with it.

Well that read like some sensationalist pro-Trump propaganda if I've ever read it.

Of course Trump is "establishment" -- you don't get into the "B" club (billionaire) without making deals, making friends, scratching backs and becoming part of the system that is sucking up the nation's wealth like a Hoover.

Trump is some kind of controlled opposition. Trump doesn't want to be POTUS, it's to limiting and constraining. Right now Trump has freedom to travel where he wants, when he wants. Trump can clap his hands and someone will change his socks for him. Trump can hire/fire anyone at any time. He can't and won't be able to do any of that as POTUS.

There's power, and then there's money. The two are not mutually exclusive. You can have power without a lot of money, but you can't have a lot of money without a lot of power. There's nothing for Trump to gain from being POTUS past the election. Trump has already networked with the right people to enhance his business opportunities for years to come, being POTUS won't add anything to that.

Opinion pieces like the one here are nothing more than sensationalism, written to incite, scare and solidify people's biases....and discourage people who don't support Trump into submission.

It's really pretty transparent if you step back and don't allow yourself to be hypnotized.

Trump scores lower among democrats and independents in polling that any other GOP candidate I have been able to find. They pretty much hate him. His unfavorable level sits at 67% of all registered voters. Among Democrats it is 74% unfavorable. If you want to know just how bad that is, Cruz has a 54% unfavorable among the DNC and he has always been considered undetectable because of that number. However before he even considers them he needs to win support in the GOP where only 34% want to see him as the nominee. And polls either Rubio or Cruz could take Trump is they were not splitting the vote. Tump hits wall with GOP Trump needs to some how win support among the GOP first.

hm...it does make sense what you say. Though I would support him...makes you wonder why he's doing it. As you said it...there is very little in it for him.

It is absolutely amazing, not to mention utterly appalling, to see the cult-of-personality phenomenon in full swing in American politics.

Haven't seen denial of reality to this degree since the Reagan Administration. Actually, this even surpasses that travesty completely.

A big thug attracting little thugs to tag along after him and do his dirty work for him ... this is going to get worse before it gets better.

What's weird is seeing anti-authority types who dislike the government wanting some autocratic, iron-fisted, super-authoritarian to lead them.

I told you that you may not like the video didn't I? On the other hand a lot of people, like me, don't like Trump.
As for assumption about having sex, you are the only one doing so, the only assumption I would make is that he is a obsessional creep.
Anyway you'll enjoy this second episode of complimentary creepiness,
