The Trump Thread!!!

[Matt Mortem]

Trump's can do attitude towers above the rest. One thing most will agree on is politicians have failed us. They are bought and sold, and worry too much about getting re-elected.

The polarization between the Dems and Reps is counter productive for both. As a result big problems go ignored. Long gone are the Reagan and Tip O'Neal days. OR the Clinton and Gingrich days.

With Trump, you not going to have this crap. He's going to set an agenda and follow through. I don't think he cares if he's a 1 term president, the man has a vision to make America Great again, and will follow through to get there.

Great is the last word for what Trump's ideal America is.

Yeah, I can't wait for legal americans to go pick strawberries.

Not only that but the skyrocketing prices. People dont seem to realize that our produce would cost more if it was picked by legal americans who are being paid at least minimum wage.

And:

Giovanni Peri, an economist at the University of California, Davis, has written a series of influential papers comparing the labor markets in states with high immigration levels to those with low ones. He concluded that undocumented workers do not compete with skilled laborers — instead, they complement them. Economies, as Adam Smith argued in “Wealth of Nations,” work best when workers become specialized and divide up tasks among themselves. Pedro Chan’s ability to take care of routine tasks on a work site allows carpenters and electricians to focus on what they do best. In states with more undocumented immigrants, Peri said, skilled workers made more money and worked more hours; the economy’s productivity grew. From 1990 to 2007, undocumented workers increased legal workers’ pay in complementary jobs by up to 10 percent.

And:

In the wake of GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump's call to deport illegal immigrants en masse, a population most recently estimated at 11.3 million people, the liberal Center for American Progress has updated its regular analysis of how expensive such a plan would be.

Using a base cost of $10,070 per immigrant, the think tank led by a former top Obama administration official on Tuesday said the federal government would have to spend $114 billion to make Trump's plan a reality. That's roughly the size of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

While many might guess that left-leaning groups would try to pump up the costs in order to discourage an idea they oppose, CAP's estimate is far lower than the costs of deportation as estimated by the conservative American Action Forum in March. Apprehension and removal would cost between $100 billion and $300 billion, that group projected.

Once something costs $300 billion, it's comparable to big federal agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services.

However, that think tank, which is led by former Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin, goes further and adds in on-going enforcement expenses, for a total cost ranging from $420 billion to $620 billion. American Action Forum also predicted that it would take 20 years to fully carry out such a strategy.

At $600 billion, the cost of deporting all the illegal immigrants ventures near the cost of defense spending.

Like it or not illegal immigrants arent going anywhere. And I for one would rather spend $100 billion to keep them here and allow them to work low level jobs and help out economy healthy than spend $600 billion dollars and 20 + years on a futile attempt to get rid of every illegal immigrant.

Those hundreds of billions of dollars would be better spent on veterans and or helping more americans go to college so they can get a degree and get better jobs.

The GOP contender who's fighting with Fox News because of his name calling is going to fix the polarization in Washington. OK.

Yeah, because Donald Trump just screams solidarity and unity, right? No way could an egotistical and frankly incompetent ponce like him do any damage to an already tenuous situation, right?

 

[AndrewGilkison]

How does Donald Trump think he can be President when he can't even handle Megan Kelly and an anchor from Univision without losing his ****?

That's the most telling thing about him. He loses his cool and throws a toddler sized tantrum because he was called on his BS. How do you think he'll do with international diplomacy. Harass Putin on Twitter.

 

[DeadPresident]

Post a video on Angela Merkel's fashion choices probably.

Well if he does shoot his mouth off to Putin in a face to face conversation he might get a response he didnt count on.

*Putin rips off shirt and knocks Trump out cold*
*hairpiece goes flying*

Seriously tho Trump would probably end up getting himself shut out of international diplomacy and meetings. Other countries wouldnt want to put up with his BS. A bumbling fool like Bush is one thing. But a mysoginistic racist asshat like Trump is a different ballgame. I suspect Putin wouldnt give him the time of day when it came to diplomacy between us and russia. Trump really has no clue. International diplomacy isnt the same as his reality shows and "running" his businesses.

 

[Snow Queen]

He'd start a dozen wars in his first week after insulting world leaders on Twitter.

 

[Marvolo]

World War Twitter

"Mark my words. This war will not be fought on the frontier or on some distant battlefield, but amongst us…among our homes…on our twitter feeds...our children will learn of it with their own eyes…"

He'll call Putin "the most evil man since Hitler." He will also bash America's allies. He'll call Angela Merkel a fat pig loser and both David Cameron and Francois Hollande coward wussies with zero backbone.

And I'm sure he'll say something insulting about Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Aussie Prime Minister Tony Abbott, as those are probably two of America's biggest allies in the Asia-Pacific Region.

I hadnt considered that but its definitely worrying. The US military has been shifting its view to the Pacific. Trump could do legitimate harm to our ability to operate amicably and effectively in the Pacific and that would be a geopolitical **** up of epic proportions. We need to stay on good terms with both Australia and Japan.

Trump will never be president.

If he runs as a third party candidate however, he may decide the election.

[Thundercrack85]

It's charming to see someone so uncynical they actually openly support a specific candidate.

 

[Sawyer]

Just saw the video of one of Trump's supporters telling that Univision journalist to get out of his country. What trash.

And that Univision guy is the biggest latino reporter in the US. Not smart.

Trump doesn't give a **** about latinos.

I'm not exactly the biggest fan of Trump's but Ramos came off looking like a second-rate, self-important "advocate journalist" who had an ax to grind rather than get questions answered. Trump hadn't even gotten to the podium yet and Ramos was already badgering him, which is poor etiquette for journalists in a press conference like that. Then to interrupt the other journalists Trump did call on was just plain rude and disrespectful. Trump was actually being nice allowing Ramos back in there to ask his question but for him to act like that was the time and place to have a debate was another wrong move by Ramos.

 

[Marvolo]

Have you ever seen how the press behave in the White House press room at times? Ramos was doing what journalist are taught to do which is to be heard and get your question answered. Its very likely Trump would have never called on him due to Ramos having brown skin so I cant blame Ramos for not giving Trump the opportunity to ignore him. And Trump is the very last person who needs to be calling other people out on etiquette. Trump generally behaves like a 3 year old who was raised by an inattentive nanny.

And like BN said, Ramos is the biggest most well known latino reporter in America and Trump kicked him out and told him to go back to Univision. Trump displayed a complete lack of common sense and strategy. A smart person would have answered Ramos's question and even spoke to him after the conference, because keeping Ramos in his good graces even a little could benefit him. Instead he spit in Ramos's face and scorned the latino community even more. Trump just isnt smart. He only knows how make knee-jerk reactions to everything.

Here is a good write up on who Ramos is to the spanish community and why Trump made a mistake:

There was an article on Huffington Post yesterday saying that Trump has said he has decided not to run as a third party candidate if he loses the nomination. Then again he also said he would be civil with Fox News and then started attacking Megyn Kelly again so I'm not sure anyone can take him at his word, especially if Bush gets the nomination. He appears to really dislike Bush, definitely far more than Clinton at least.

If Trump loses, he's going to use his third party threats to force the presumptive Republican nominee who ever they maybe to make him their running mate. If they don't offer him the VP spot, he'll run as a third party candidate out of spite.
