Often I find myself wondering just what American's are all about but the news that Donald Trump is front runner as Republican candidate for the Presidency just astounds me.
He has accused Mexican's of being nothing more than thieves pimps and drug pushers, whilst admitting that "there might be a few" good one's.
Now he has complained that a woman who questioned him in an interview, gave him a hard time because she was menstruating, well what can I say.
If this man is elected what credibility will remain for the USA.
Can you imagine him having his finger on the button.

Re: President Donald
Guaranteed he will be President. Americans just love self made men even if they are power crazed lunatics their history only goes to prove that...

Re: President Donald
I think the fact that he is front runner says more about the modern Republican (stupid) party than it does about Americans. This is a country which has just elected its first black president and I think will elect its first woman president in 2016. If he wins the partys nomination Hilary Clinton and the Democrat campaign will be licking their lips.
We haven't even had the first caucus or primary yet people, a week is a long time in politics anything may happen.

Re: President Donald
IMO "The Donald", a populist, has tapped into a few (ahem) 'issues' that have been twigging 'Mericans for some time now that they've been too afear'd to discuss given the rabid PC police who seem to jump and label with both feet unworried where the chips may fall.
"The Donald" being a self made man and beholden to no one given his billions can and has blurted out these issues and will now in showmanship style play out the scene as the crowds swirl and comment.
"The Donald", in true Popeye style - 'I yam what I yam' ... going to be better than a soap opera in the coming months. Time the GOP was maybe made to look at itself and IF "The Donald" opts to run as an independent ...... ???

Re: President Donald
Self made?
He joined his father's multi-million dollar New York real estate business way back and subsequently took control.
I can't imagine even the American public giving this loudmouthed bigot much support in the event that he runs....but maybe we'll get some amusement en route.

Re: President Donald
I think that he's self made only in the sense that he's declared corporate bankruptcy on four occasions and come back. Whether that's good or bad I'm not sure.

Re: President Donald
Are you all equating "self made" with money? I was referring to the fact that "The Donald" is a rather unique personality unto himself.
Carly Fiorina seems to have a good head on her shoulders and is able to express herself well without using the word "stupid" but isn't a career politician. Could be time to start thinking about and looking those who do not opt for a career in politics.

Re: President Donald
It was Bobby Jindal the Republican Governor of Louisiana who referred to his own party as "stupid". I can't see the Republican faithful nominating anyone who isn't highly political and very much one of their own.

Re: President Donald
IMO it is high time the GOP had a real good shake up. Way too 'old boy' and given present popular opinion and the stats that are being reported it seems the people are 'speaking' cause most of the top runners right now on the Republican side are NOT career politicians (Trump, Carson, Fiorina).
Course the stats change all the time but I think Trump with his own $$$ has them all shaking in their boots.

Re: President Donald
Since we're on the topic of possible future US Presidents this is the opinion of a present day American writer re: the present Pres s0 it could explain Americans looking to a completely different type of President in Donald Trump:
Some of you may not agree with this lady, but it is an interesting observation
Maureen Scott is an ardent American patriot who was born in Pittsburgh, PA , and retired to Richmond , VA , in 2000. Free from the nine-to-five grind of writing for employers and clients, she began writing political commentary to please herself and express her convictions.
The accomplishment of which she is most proud is her volunteer work at an Army base where she looked into the eyes and hearts of the service members who protect our country.
Our Pledge of Allegiance, a military band playing the National Anthem, and the wisdom of our Founding Fathers, inspire her passion and views. Her life is guided by a firm belief that truth is the most important virtue, and that God knows what He is doing with her.
ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, could have described this President more accurately. This is a brief biography that articulates the man, his life and his goals perfectly!

Barack Obama appears to be a tormented man filled with resentment, anger, and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his. He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order to manipulate and maintain power and control over others. Perhaps, because, as a child, he grew up harboring an abiding bitterness toward the U.S. That was instilled in him by his family and mentors…it seems to have never left him.
It is not the color of his skin that is a problem in America.
Rather it is the blackness that fills his soul and the hollowness in his heart where there should be abiding pride and love for this country.
Think: Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S. Or its people, with deep appreciation and genuine respect for our history, our customs, our sufferings and our blessings? Has he ever revealed that, like most patriotic Americans, he gets "goose bumps" when a band plays "The Star Spangled Banner," (no he gets goose bumps when he hears the ''Muslim call to prayer" (his words) or sheds a tear when he hears a beautiful rendition of " America the Beautiful?" Does his heart burst with pride when millions of American flags wave on a National holiday - or someone plays "taps" on a trumpet? Has he ever shared the admiration of the military, as we as lovers of those who keep us free, feel when soldiers march by? It is doubtful because Obama did not grow up sharing our experiences or our values. He did not sit at the knee of a Grandfather or Uncle who showed us his medals and told us about the bravery of his fellow troops as they tramped through foreign lands to keep us free. He didn't have grandparents who told stories of suffering and then coming to America, penniless, and the opportunities they had for building a business and life for their children.
Away from this country as a young child, Obama didn't delight in being part of America and its greatness. He wasn't singing our patriotic songs in kindergarten, or standing on the roadside for a holiday parade and eating a hot dog, or lighting sparklers around a campfire on July 4th as fireworks exploded over head, or placing flags on the grave sites of fallen and beloved American heroes.
Rather he was separated from all of these experiences and doesn't really understand us and what it means to be an American. He is void of the basic emotions that most feel regarding this country and insensitive to the instinctive pride we have in our national heritage. His opinions were formed by those who either envied us or wanted him to devalue the United States and the traditions and patriotism that unites us.
He has never given a speech that is filled with calm, reassuring, complimentary, heartfelt statements about all the people in the U.S. Or one that inspires us to be better and grateful and proud that in a short time our country became a leader, and a protector of many. Quite the contrary, his speeches always degenerate into mocking, ridiculing tirades as he faults our achievements as well as any critics or opposition for the sake of a laugh, or to bolster his ego. He uses his Office to threaten and create fear while demeaning and degrading any American who opposes his policies and actions. A secure leader, who has noble self-esteem and not false confidence, refrains from showing such dread of critics and displaying a cocky, haughty attitude.
Mostly, his time seems to be spent causing dissension, unrest, and anxiety among the people of America, rather than uniting us (even though he was presented to us as the "Great Uniter"). He creates chaos for the sake of keeping people separated, envious, aggrieved and ready to argue. Under his leadership Americans have been kept on edge, rather than in a state of comfort and security. He incites people to be aggressive toward, and disrespectful of, those of differing opinions. And through such behavior, Obama has lowered the standards for self-control and mature restraint to the level of street-fighting gangs, when he should be raising the bar for people to strive toward becoming more considerate, tolerant, self-disciplined, self-sustaining, and self-assured.
Not a day goes by that he is not attempting to defy our laws, remove our rights, over-ride established procedures, install controversial appointees, enact divisive mandates, and assert a dictatorial form of government.
- Never has there been a leader of this great land who used such tactics to harm and hurt the people and this country.
- Never have we had a President who spoke with a caustic, evil tongue against the citizenry rather than present himself as a soothing, calming and trustworthy force.
- Never, in this country, have we experienced how much stress one man can cause a nation of people - on a daily basis!
Obama has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, and quality of cooperation between us. He thrives on tearing us down, rather than building us up. He is the Architect of the decline of America, and the epitome of a Demagogue.
