Donald Trump’s utterly ridiculous budget plan

No he's not. Every politician since cave man days has said they are going to get rid of fraud, waste and abuse. The very nature of government spending creates FWA. Trump himself is the FWA candidate.

Cost of the Iraq War 2-5 trillion with some estimates even higher than that. Trump is going to put a stop to waste, fraud, and abuse and that would include things like indulging in wars of choice.

Just because you say it's so doesn't make it true. I noticed you supplied no links before making your untrue statement. I can understand that, since what you stated is just not true.

Here is a link to Trump's 4 bankruptcies. Read it and learn.

NOTE: There are actually 6 companies that went bankrupt. However, Trump was no longer associated with the 2 that went bankrupt in 2014. He got out just in time on those, and sued to have his name removed from Trump Entertainment. Nice timing, that happening just before he declared himself a presidential candidate. LOL.

King Midas was known for turning everything to gold that he touched. Donald Trump, on the other hand, has the Trump touch. Everything he touches turns to crap. LOL.

When you have the vast majority of Republicans still supporting wars of choice, and some even stating that they'd start WW3 to establish "no fly zones" in Syria, I'll take Trump. Many people were duped into supporting the war in Iraq, myself along with the majority of Americans included. So the point still stands. Trump is against wars of choice unlike Hillary, who has also said that she would start WW3.

Who is the 'vast majority'??? Trump was 'duped' as well, don't play. I wasn't duped but then again I got a few scars from my service long before BushII and the Neo-CON cabal crapped out there seed planting plan.

Define Hillary's war of 'choice'??? Sometimes ya just gotta kill people and break things- so please tell me what choice wars is she thinking of???

Here is why Trump is where he's at.

1. Deportation of illegal aliens.

2. Build The Wall.

3. Halt Muslim immigration.

4. Jobs.

5. Middle finger to political correctness.

There are simple solutions.

Cut taxes, cut spending, eliminate departments of government, reduce federal employees. Y'know... get rid of the fat, the waste, reduce government and with it some of its corruption, and the crap that makes our lives complex.

These are "simple" solutions?

So his companies went bankrupt, and not him: that's the point. Thanks for acknowledging your misrepresentation.

While I'm no fan at all of Trump and make it clear, and I seldom if ever agree with reinoe, he was technically correct. Trump never went bankrupt. Four of his casinos in Atlantic City did. By the way, other casinos in Atlantic City also went belly up, including the $3 billion Revel after less than 2 years. Trump pulled out of AC because it was dying, and not because of his Presidency quest. And if everything he touches turns to crap, why are all of his other business interests all over the world making huge money?

It's one thing to go after Trump. It's another thing to do it in this way.

The War In Iraq was a war of choice. We didn't have to do it, it wasn't in our national security interests, it wasn't in defense of our allies. It was all based on smoke and mirrors. Congratulations on not being fooled. I was a naive kid in college during the war who had just finished being a paige at the U.S. Attorney's office. I whole-heartedly admit I was duped. Many American people were duped. Hillary had insider information as a member of Congress and had access to the bogus intelligence because she was on the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services and never came out against the war even though she knew it was all bull****.

Exactly. The Atlantic City casino industry turned belly up because Indian gaming spread across the country. I live in Nevada and I know that it can't remain profitable with too much competition. That's market forces. Was F.W. Woolworth a bad business for having to close shop? What about K B Toys? Why do you hate market forces?

Atlantic City did fine while there were no casinos in the other states close. When places like Pennsylvania and Delaware started building gigantic new casinos that were cheaper and more convenient that those in AC, it (AC) started to nosedive. And it happened long before Trump's casinos didn't do well. People need to Google Showboat and Revel and the Atlantic Club. They need to Google revenues in Atlantic City year over year, and see how revenues dropped by almost 50% between 2006 and 2015.

It seems easy for people to act like Trump is a failure because his name was attached (at one time) to some failed casinos in a city of failing casinos. I don't like Trump but I like blatant dishonesty even less.

All that stuff might not be easy...especially with leftist opposition...but it really is simple. Heck, most of that stuff just takes enforcing laws that are already on the books.

You've got this pretty twisted... the Senate had no 'insider' information. They don't have a separate intelligence service- like Rummy had in his DoD fiefdom.

But I asked who in the PUB wing still wants wars of choice, i asked what war of choice does Hillary want, not what she agreed with back along with Trump. You said Trump wouldn't commit us to more wars of choice, but seem to think Hillary will. So I ask again what war of choice will Hillary commit us to and who in the PUB wing still wants wars of choice.

Trump has ZERO track record of being correct about wars of choice... :peace

Donald Trump’s utterly ridiculous budget plan



So when are the Trump supporters going to check back into reality and realize that anyone can promise pie in the sky results but talk is cheap and the real world requires complex and difficult decisions/solutions and that the attitude of a candidate is the worst thing you could possibly judge a presidential candidate upon? When are you idiots going realize that Trump will say whatever you want to hear to get elected while in reality, he either knows his promises (which never include any details on how he'll get them done) can't be kept because they're impossible or because he's so clueless he doesn't have a clue about what being POTUS entails? This is one voting group I just don't understand. Are you like Trump zombies who watch his reality TV shows and care more about the celebrity than the welfare of the USA or do you think Trump actually knows what he's talking about and can achieve his wild claims?

Trump doesn't have a "plan," period. He's literally saying and doing anything to get his share of the voting base.

I don't really trust anything he says right now until after he gets the nom (if he does).

Trump took on W's and the whole party's premise of being a hawk, slammed the the pope and won the primary.

He's a winner.

Bankruptcy can be an extremely good business tool and decision.
Filing bankruptcy does not mean you are financially inadequate.
It could mean you are financially savvy and know what you are doing.

You're kidding correct??? :confused:

Trump has done nothing but lie from seeing Muslims dance in Jersey streets to being on record for opposing the Iraq invasion BEFORE it happened. He won in an evangelical state where many GAWD fearing Church goers call Catholics Papalists and denounce the Pope from the pulpit, that was heavy pandering to his base of the moment...

Winning the junior high hate contest that is now the PUBlican't primary... yeah that's really a feat to be proud of... :roll:

My point is that he ran 4 companies into the ground, and left a lot of debtors holding the bag. You think he is able to help financially manage a nation after that? OK, whatever floats your boat. My vote will still be for Gary Johnson, that former Republican governor of New Mexico who inherited a boatload of debt when he came to office, and left New Mexico with a surplus. He did this during hard times too. Now THAT's taking responsible action.

I don't judge people by what they say. I judge them by what they do. I'm sure that, at one time, he was telling everybody he was going to make those companies great, just like he's going to make America great again.. He didn't, and he won't. His track record speaks for itself. The way I see it, Trump talks a whole lot, but is not up to the challenge, and is unfit for public office. We already have the evidence.

So when Indian Casinos made AC east coast monopoly irrelevant you expect him to continue to generate profit? The entire Atlantic City Casino industry was devastated. Yeah I expect him to know how businesses work. I'm sorry to hear that your understanding of the circumstances of the industry is lacking. But I'm truly disappointed at you being comfortable with your ignorance.

Likewise I wholly acknowledge Hillary is "experienced". Just like how John McCain is "experienced". However whenever I think of experience I think of the quality of that experience and what are the circumstances of that experience. James Buchanon is among the worst presidents in American history and he was "experienced". However the quality of that experience shows that his experience was garbage. Hillary and McCain's experience is likewise loaded with garbage. Trump had his four companies go bankrupt. Yes it's true but three out of four of those were due to casino bankruptcies.

Please try to do more than a mere surface level understanding of things. For all the memes floating around about how Trump supporters are ignorant, I find that the people hating on Trump to be the most ignorant of facts. Yes Gary Johnson is a phenomenal candidate and the Republicans missed out by marginalizing him.
