Trump has claimed he knows more about ISIS than America’s leading generals. Clearly, this is also total nonsense; he doesn’t seem to have done the slightest thing to educate himself about ISIS.
I think Hillary is going to be more hawkish perhaps than Obama. Perhaps more hawkish than Trump. Trump, though, is really a windshield wiper. He says one thing that makes sense and then says something that doesn’t make sense.
Donald Trump, in my judgment, would make a perilous world even more dangerous. I worry that his tendency to lash out and his ill-informed comments would cause dangerous events to escalate and possibly spin out of control at a time when our world is beset with conflicts.
Tax reform likely will be the first policy action in a Trump administration. A close second will be a thorough repeal and rewrite of Obamacare, restoring a freer market with true consumer choice and competition among providers.
You know, just to be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. They’re racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic – you name it.
I’m grateful to Donald Trump’s pro-life views, and I’m grateful that he’s expressed those views so publicly and openly.
I believe that both Obama and Trump would describe themselves as outsiders.
Trump is the toughest guy I’ve ever met, and I’ve known some killers. His movement is bigger than the Republican Party, and he knows it.
Even though Mr. Trump is a billionaire, he is still able to relate to average working men and women. The billionaire gets along with the bricklayer.
President Trump will release America’s pent-up energy potential, get rid of foreign oil, trash punitive regulations, create millions of jobs, and develop our most strategic geopolitical weapon: crude oil.
Trump is going to be around a while.
Trump is a juggernaut that is difficult to unravel at this point, but I think Marco Rubio is the right one to do it. I think he can win Arkansas, and he can win in November.
On a pure entertainment level, if I’m going to choose to listen to a presidential candidate speak on a Saturday night, it’s going to be Donald Trump over Bernie Sanders by a landslide!
If Republican leaders are willing to enable Trump’s autocratic enthusiasms in return for oligarchy, American democracy will die.
I think Donald Trump believes in defeating ISIS, resolving issues in the Middle East.
Trump’s pardon of Arpaio may not get as much attention as Russian influence or Trump’s apparent obstruction of justice in the Mueller investigation. But to me, as a woman of color, it is a clear abuse of power for the U.S. president to pardon a sheriff who targeted people for arrest because of their ethnicity.
Donald Trump has been horrendous, saying things are bad because of Muslims or Mexicans. This is exactly what happened in the 1930s in Germany, and it’s gonna get worse.
I’ve always competed in those shows. Like, I won ‘Fear Factor’, I did ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’, I did ‘The Mole’, ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ with Donald Trump. I’ve done a lot of those shows, all in the hope of being a blessing to my mom’s organization.
In quiet ways far too complex to hold Trump’s interest, Muslims in the United States and around the world are helping every day to prevent massacres such as Orlando from happening.
I’m not going to respond to every single thing that Donald Trump has to say or that Hillary Clinton says.
Trump represented a movement of dissatisfaction, the dissent, unhappiness, division cultivated by years of identity politics and the bullying of arrogant, insufferable, intolerant social justice warriors who used the last two terms to punish anyone who reminded them of Daddy.
Until Donald Trump got to where he was, they said you’ll never see a rich businessman who’s never been in politics be president. I clearly was wrong about that.
Con men look for human frailty to exploit. This is most often greed. Trump found a different vice: anger. The emotional are always the most susceptible to manipulation.
The normalization of Trump is one indicator that there may be less to the populist insurrection than imagined.
I’m the same businessman Donald Trump is.
I was not the only journalist to whom Trump offered gifts clearly meant to shape coverage. Many reporters have told me that Trump worked hard to offer them something fabulous – from hotel rooms to rides on his 757.
Sunken-place entrants include Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, Tiger Woods, O.J. Simpson, sometimes Kanye West, and any black person with something nice to say about President Trump. It’s more generous than ‘sellout’ and less punitive than ‘Uncle Tom,’ a dis and a road to redemption.
Few remember that Trump was among the first in the country to recognize the danger of radical Islam.
At the end of the day, Mr. Trump is going to have the last laugh.
Like or loathe Donald J. Trump, you have to give him this: He’s done more to shine a spotlight on the loopholes and fundamental unfairness of the tax code than any other American president.
I thought that Donald Trump’s ascendancy would end when he attacked John McCain, saying he’s not a war hero. I found that shocking, for him to say that.
The Trump administration is shaping up to be one of the most corrupt since the Gilded Age.
My impression is the Trump administration is in imminent danger of violating the gunfighter’s credo, which is ‘Do not pick seven fights if you are carrying a six shooter.’
Between Trump’s election and Brexit, there were all sorts of opinions coming out of the woodwork that I thought had died out a long time ago. I was like, ‘What’s the point?’ All we do is bad things. The history of humanity is the history of people exploiting each other.
Donald Trump is a little bit like I am. He says what needs to be said. Most of all, folks, he’s not afraid of the United States liberal media. They dislike him nearly as much as they hate me.
You don’t have to worry about Donald Trump stabbing you in the back; he’ll stab you right in the heart, but he says what he says, and he stands by it.
I’m not a politician. But neither is Donald Trump. He is a builder, and it’s time to rebuild America.
I don’t dig Trump or follow what he has to say, but I find it fascinating that he’s surfaced in the political arena. But I’m a Hillary supporter, and I don’t go the Trump way.
The differences between Secretary Clinton and Donald Trump in terms of temperament, in terms of values, couldn’t be more stark.
What the media does to Trump is what they did the cops – say the police are really harmful, then later ask why people are so scared of the police.
Hillary Clinton was rejected soundly by America, but instead of changing course, the Democrats and their media allies are intent on telling Americans just how terrible they are for embracing Donald Trump.
I have known Donald Trump for almost 30 years. And he has created and accomplished great things. But beyond that, this is a man with a big heart.
In picking Gen. Jim Mattis for Defense secretary, President-elect Donald Trump has said that he found his ‘Gen. George Patton.’ Yet that label may not really capture what makes Mattis a distinctive choice.
If Clinton is elected or if Trump is going to get elected, I think the polarization in Congress will be greater than ever. Nothing is going to get done. It is going to be so ugly, so partisan, so back-biting. Well what if you elect a couple of Libertarians?
I wish I could talk like Donald Trump or Steve Wynn. Hell, I’d love it.
I think Utahns – and I won’t speak for all Utahns – but my sense is that they have real issues with Donald Trump’s lack of decency, with his bigotry, the way he’s divided this country. That’s not the Utahn way. I think they have issues with his attacks on religious minorities.
Mr. Trump never made any derogatory or disparaging comments about Mexican immigrants… He was talking about Mexico. They’re allowing people to pour through their borders, and that’s a problem for our national security.
Trump is a menace, both ignorant and chaotic. His saving grace is his incompetence.
We’ve had characters like Trump in American politics forever, characters who trade on xenophobia.
In these negotiations we are not a helpless object, although great world powers are involved. We play an active role and try to influence our destiny; we have our own trump cards and we use them.
Donald Trump understands the anxiety and aspirations of the American people like no leader since Reagan.
Trump strikes me as the kind of guy that’s on all the time. He’s got a very forceful persona.
Let’s make Donald Trump explain his hair.
Donald Trump’s whole candidacy from the time he started has been filled with myths by the media that he couldn’t – he was not a serious candidate.
2016 is a change election, and that favors Trump.
Trump is a populist in the same mold as the nineteenth-century Populists who gave their name to American grassroots political movements. Historians and pundits argued themselves blue in the face over whether Populists were reactionary or progressive, but they were both.
My view is that Trump will not change the Republican Party, America’s right-of-center party. If he brings in new followers, that’s great, and well worth the effort, but he will not change the Republican Party.
