He has as much chance as Al Sharpton. Trumpster should just go away and enjoy his money.

I would definitely consider him in a favorable light.


Already out of consideration: anyone named Clinton or Bush.

Time to move on people.
You want to charge countries for the mostly unwelcome presence of your armed forces?

Good luck with getting those bills paid.

No, I think he would be better off sticking to business. In politics he's just wasting his time.

What you guys think of this?
For every "success" he's has he's had two failures. Don't forget to look at those. Money can't buy everything and God save us if he ever does buy the presidency. He's a first class jerk that would do our standing in the world a great deal of harm and make us into the laughing stock of the world.

I don't know. Last election I thought about him(or maybe it was the one before last.foolish me) anyway then I thought he was way too full of himself and arrogant, but I think that job probably needs that as a requirement. Donald Trump is not the smartest man that everyone seems to think. He has had businesses fail before. I don't think he has the skills and patience needed for this job to be honest. He would get mad and go off and offend someone surely.

Clearly, you haven't read his book or listened to his croakings. Lettucehead has one purpose: to fracture the Republicans, thus saddling us with 8 more years of socialism.

Let's see...He's said Obama's a "pretty good" president, as a protectionist, he's pro tariffs on foreign goods, he's a staunch proponent of instituting a wealth/asset tax here, and has said that he "probably self-identifies as a Democrat."

Yup. He's a Conservative. The things you learn on these boards!

not really.

his embracing of birtherism contradicts the "no nonsense" claim and he's had a massive amount of business failures ( trump casinos, trump shuttle, trump mortgage, trump university, trump vodka..... ). his estimated net worth would be consistent with smart real estate investments from the 300million he inherited from his father and not much more.

Trump isn't really going to run. He just likes to pretend he is so he can stay relevant with the media.
