Donald Trump: Adult Bully? Adult Baby? or Media Genius?
So, I saw this article just now about Trump doing one of his ridiculous "keep it swirling in the bowl as long as possible" slapbacks over comments that Robert Deniro made about his presidtential run.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_853320.html This is only one in a long line of many articles where Donald Trump gives evidence of his complete inability to either let shit go or choose his battles. Remember the mean-spirited attacks on Rosie O'Donnel? What about his most recent racist remarks about how he had a good realtionship with "the blacks"? How about his comments around our President's birth status? I'm curious what people think of Donald Trump? Do you think he is a media genius for being such an ass that we all keep talking about him or is this man truly an emotional, uncontrolled bully who lashes out at anyone who criticizes him? Thoughts?

Trump's voting record.
My take on Trump is that he's a rich, bored man who's made a fatal error. Believing in the spin his own marketing department puts out about him. Would he be good president? Sure he would. If he ran America like he ran his own business, we'd make money. Would I vote for him? Not in a New York minute. He's a typical conservative. More concerned about making and keeping money. He has utterly no social conscience that is not dictated to by "what's in it for me." Typical conservative attitude. It's all about him. He doesn't care about his fellow man at all. He forgets the iconic statement by MLK about pulling oneself up with non-existent bootstraps. |

Personally, I think he's an egomanical bully. As far as being a President, not in a New York minute, the man tries to cheat everyone he does business with, tries to get out of paying contractors who build buildings for him, he's already declared bankruptcy once so as far as being in control of the nations money, nope, not for me.

A guy who built an empire on narcissism, bullying, debt and ego. I'm not too sure about his agenda. Is he trying to get ratings on his show? He has been divorced 3 times has been bankrupt 4 times. He is a Republican who became a Democrat(2000) who became a Republican(2009). Trump, in my opinion, is a joke on so many levels.  |

Also the comment he made on Sunday evening's Celebrity Apprentice...........
When one of the women said that a couple of her team~mates were 'all up Star's ass', The Donald commented, "..which is probably a lot easier now, right Star, now that you've lost all that weight?". I went....did he just SAY that?????? Of course, they all want to win so they giggled "appropriately" and the men couldn't believe he said it either..... It was just one more reason not to vote for him......he is a scary, scary man. |

I agree with everything stated here.
Do I think the man is brilliant? Yes. Do I think he knows how to run a business (even if it's not so ethical at all times?) Yes. Do I think the man has a heart? The jury is out. Do I think he would get this country at least closer to out of debt? Yes. Do I want him as my president? Not in a million years. I don't want a dictator as President. And that's what I believe him to be. He's so used to people bowing down to him (Because we are soooo impressed with money in this country) that he believes everyone should. I don't want that kind of thinking running this country (And yes, I know it has before). He changes his stance on important issues depending on the day & the group he is talking to. (2002 - supports gays having rights...i.e. insurance, etc..not necessarily marriage tho. 2011 - absolutely does not support gays having any of those rights.) So nine years with him takes us BACK a step..not moving FORWARD. But! I digress! To answer the question of the thread..which is NOT about his run for President...I think he's a combination of an adult bully/adult baby. I also think back to the Rosie O situation. I think it speaks volumes about his character that whenever he is attacking someone in the media, he almost always resorts to name-calling. He is incapable of having a reasonable adult conversation with the people he has issues with. (Back to the too used to people bowing down to him - he isn't used to dealing with real people who aren't afraid of him). I used to respect the fact that he worked his way to the top. Nowadays, I'm finding very, very little to respect about him at all.

He is an ego the size of Texas wrapped in a mouth the size of Europe with the values of a pedophile and a sexist racist jackass.
I don't watch his shows and I think he is a complete fool. He would bankrupt this country and make a mint doing so for ratings.

I think my main problem with all of the press Trump is getting is the "Birther" garbage. I just cannot come up with anything other than racism as why and how this entire "movement" got started.
FerGoddessesSake, John Mc Cain could have had more of an issue with his birthplace (Panama Canal Zone)! Few remember this when he got the GOP nomination for the '08 race. White vs. Black??? I think so. Also, ALL presidential candidates have as part of their "war chest," line items for legal representation. Mc Cain and Obama spent money via this election part of their "budgets" on birthplace facts. Interesting how Obama's birthplace has stuck in this insanity. A link for an 2008 article about McCain's birthplace- http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/28/wo....10514626.html Sometimes I do wonder if a person like Trump could actually get into a presidential race as a true threat, a viable candidate. I wonder because of the kind of stuff happening with the tea Party factor and birthers, etc. Also because of just how frustrated people are with things and what the "common" person has been going through economically on top of all of the swindling on Wall Street and in the housing sector. |

Well, Trump apparently just called President Obama "not Ivy league material" in a recent interview. I guess he missed the part where President Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law.
Someone needs to plug that foghorn up.

More distraction from the facts, still no jobs, still paying the price for BP, still in economic slump, and all the while LGBT rights being held back if not overturned. There is more to keep one occupied than the rants of a mad man.

An inch is as good as a mile.
Trump's no genius. He's just a tenth of an IQ point smarter than most of the redundant American Media and, till now, it's been enough. Trump gets foot fungus. Some intrepid reporter gets a news breaking byline. CNN et al fill 2 hours of a vacuum in a 24 hour news cycle. Ten pundits get paid.
