Trump: O'Malley A 'Disgusting, Little, Weak, Pathetic Baby'

[AAAintheBeltway]

For those who haven't noticed, Trump is taking a page from Putin's playbook. Putin's appeal in russia is due largely to his unapologetic nationalism. He took a dispirited country and promised to restore greatness. He has treated bordering countries harshly when they displeased him. He has not shown himself to be very impressed by the political poobahs of europe. Kind of reminds me of another guy the party establishment loathed, Ronald Reagan.

Trump will get along with Putin just fine, because Trump is not getting his knickers in a twist over stuff that doesn't concern us. Wouldn't it be in our interest to have a good relationship with Russia, even if John McCain longs to restart the Cold War?

A lot of what I don't like about him is concern for how he will behave on the world stage. Not how other countries see him, I don't give a damn about that. But it will require diplomacy to solve some very complex actions that were f'd up by Obama and Bush, and I can't see Trump sitting down and playing nice with anyone. I see him as being inflammatory to Russia, for example. Or picking a fight with China. Confrontation on some issues is necessary, but de-escalation on others is also necessary. I see Trump as just barreling through everything.

I get it, but I don't agree with you. Just because Trump comes off as tough and unapologetic, doesn't mean he'll start WW3. Having some pussy corporate-lacky in office, doesn't help us. It hurts us. See the past 30 years of American decline.

You are certainly entitled to disagree. But there is a difference between putting someone with diplomacy skills in the White House vs. a pussy corporate-lacky or a tyrant. It's not just one side or the other.

I understand the idea of diplomacy. The reality seem to be far different.
Obama just proved that being weak and going on an apology tour is actually a bad idea.
Bush / Cheney taught us you can win hearts and minds very easily.

Reagan taught us peace through strength.
I suggest peace through strength and working on our border safety and good missile defense.
Trump is smart enough to know that too.

You hope Trump is smart enough to know that.

correct... I hope. but, isn't that all we have with politicans.
We hope, then they turn establishment or pro arab brotherhood.

Who can we trust to make good decisions for americans and in a way the world?

You hope Trump is smart enough to know that.

The point Trump makes is the time for talk is over. All American politicians do is talk, waste time, then sell us out. His negotiation tactics are punitive, and come from a position of strength. He recognizes the American consumer is the worlds economic engine, and will use aggressive tariffs to get his way against exploitative trade imbalances with Asia and Mexico. That's great. That's exactly what we need. Free trade isn't fair trade. You can't have free trade between a country that pays its workers 25 cents an hour, with no benefits, no safety and environmental regulations with another country whose standard of living is 100 times that. It doesn't work.

Offshoring was engineered by Wallstreet and Fortune 100. If Trump can turn the tide and punish American companies for offshoring jobs, then we're headed in the right direction.

Trump is more likely to make deals than war with big powers. He is more likely to make war with terror organizations because they are bad for business. He would most likely delegate positions to people who can actually do the jobs rather than appoint ideologues who don't know what the fuck they are doing, but have the right mindset (see current admin).

I think of Trump like a bull in a china shop. The china: Political correctness, media dishonesty, political dishonesty, just to name a few.

I believe he is more despised by the establishment right than the left, which brings me great joy. I keep thinking George Will is going to shit his pants when he talks about how bad he is for the GOP. I wonder if Will, (and the others) realize how bad the GOP is for it's base, who they routinely throw under the bus after lying to get elected. It's about time someone shook them up.

Yeah, if he does what he says and isn't just running a narrative (like everyone else). If this, if that, hopefully this, probably that.

That war between FOX and Trump. It's back on again...

Fox chief asks Trump to apologize for 'verbal assaults' on Megyn Kelly
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/aug/25/fox-chief-donald-trump-verbal-assaults-megyn-kelly

A detente between two of the most powerful forces in Republican politics – Fox News and Donald Trump – appeared in danger of disintegration on Tuesday, with Fox chief Roger Ailes issuing a public statement calling on Trump to apologize for “verbal assaults” against anchor Megyn Kelly.

“Donald Trump’s surprise and unprovoked attack on Megyn Kelly during her show last night is as unacceptable as it is disturbing,” said Ailes in the statement. “Megyn Kelly represents the very best of American journalism and all of us at Fox News Channel reject the crude and irresponsible attempts to suggest otherwise.”

The offending language came in Trump tweets about Kelly during her Fox broadcast on Monday night, her first after a vacation break. One message retweeted by Trump called Kelly a “bimbo”.
