Holy Smokes! Trump's Solutions & Details Unprecedented for Early Campaigning!

Lara---I have watched all the Trump interviews and found them interesting, and though I am not a Trump fan, I, unlike some of our extremely biased fellow posters don't rule him out of the action for the presidency. Surely you have come to realize that SF is pretty partisan.

We all have our opinions. SF is NOT partisan. SF is a free forum which has members having viewpoints on many subjects. That more of us are more liberal than others is a fact and probably to do with the way we view our place in society as opposed to those who have different attitudes. All are able to express their opinions here,and that means ALL.
 
I agree! Can you just see him in the international arena? He'd say something idiotic and have us in God only knows how many wars before the entree was served. Besides which, he has stupid hair!

Lara, I have watched Trump for years. I know what he is. His answers to those interviews are as his advisers wrote them. His "solutions" are paper tigers. "I will build a wall (50 Billion dollar estimate) and make Mexico pay for it (Ok, it would have to be slightly on our side of the border, hence it would mean international laws would prevent us from even expecting Mexico to fund it even if Mexico had the funds or will to do so). He would go to Iraq and destroy their property and seize all their oil. Really? At what cost in troops and even if successful how does the United States take over their oil enterprises? On and on stupid propositions that appeal to anarchists and uneducated. This man is a arrogant, egotistical spoiled brat who managed to beat his draft notice yet is very freely willing now to "blow hell outta Iran", etc. Don't suggest I don't know about that jerk

I normally watch Meet The Press most Sundays, also Face The Nation and I didn't miss the Trump interview. They should have included the conversations that took place after the interview, as most were similarly in line in thought with some of the responders here; just lots of hot air nothing concrete, not really answering the questions with reality of how that world works. For one thing that Tariff nonsense would be against free trade and would have many a country right up the US's backside for that stunt. A lot of what he said as with many sounded real good, but, you can't just Bogart your way around other countries and expect alls going to go well, we see the results of that with the ISIS effect.

Seriously, if a lot of what Trump said were as easy to accomplish just by saying it, I might even have been in his court. I jest, but some of it did sound nice. The funniest thing I've heard of late is that Trump's just a plant by the Clintons. LOL! Talk about this all being a circus this all gets more bizarre at times.

So he thinks that only MEXICO benefits from trade with the US??? How about how the US benefits from trade with Mexico.. Things are not as easy as Trump seems to think

Isn't it funny Jim.. When our Conservative members offer their opinions... it's debate... when the Liberal members offer opinions... it's PARTISAN!! What a hoot.
 
Can't speak for other countries, but here in Canada Trump's name invariably inspires ridicule. People are aghast that the most
powerful country in the world would even consider someone of his ilk. It makes America a laughing stock globally according to many.
 
All giggling aside, can you imagine the reaction the first time "President" Trump makes a disparaging sexual comment about women in a conservative Muslim country? Everything from assassinate the "blonde," to Kaboom! Yes, my humour is entirely sarcastic here. It is a terrifying scenario.
 
If he did get the nomination I can see the bumper sticker now "DUMP TRUMP" almost as good as the Republicans used in California when they went after Gov. Brown. "If it's brown, flush it down".

Yes, I can see it now. He would feel no reluctance to comment on Chancellor Angela Merkel's weight, her clothing choices or perhaps her hair. Oh, and the poor thing is not a 10! What a failure she is in Donald's little world!

Exactly true, also that tariff, which is just another way of saying increase in a tax on goods/supplies it would have many ramifications, quite a rippling effect on businesses/consumers on either side. I'm not saying one way or the other it can't be done, but for him to say it's a simple matter is naive. But he knows who he's playing his fiddle to.
 
...here he is on his incredible women..

[h=1]Donald Trump says wife Melania would be ‘an amazing first lady’[/h]

<...>

When will you get Melania out there talking about you?

Pretty soon. She wants to do it. She is a very confident person. You've seen her on The View, and you've seen her on different shows. Larry King. You've seen her being interviewed. She's got a great style, and she would be an amazing first lady with heart.

<...>

She would care very much about women's issues. We're talking about mostly medical issues but women's issues. She was very strong on that with me the other day. Ivanka and Melania said, "You're not getting fairly treated on your feeling toward women." My mother was this incredible woman. I have known incredible women. I have many women executives, frankly, that are better than my men executives. I pay them the same or more.

He's just seen as a joke here. As was Bush. If Trump became president I might pretend I was Canadian. It was tempting while Bush was prez but I didn't.

This is my first time to have any participation of any kind in SFs Politics. I'm disappointed that, firstly, not many of late, are on topic regarding the political issues listed in post #1 that America faces in this campaign. Lately the posts, excluding 2 warnings for me from 2 kind members, are a vicious insult to America, to Trump, and as if that's not enough, now his wife. Reminds me of how the media also loves to find the ugliest picture they can of a women and then humiliate them with disgusting filth. I even received a personal insult from a member.

I am a voter who is not affiliated with any party. I vote for who I want and what I want. I will spend the next year searching and educating myself on all the candidates and their approach to fixing America's issues. You all have not been helpful but rather took a bully-type gang up on Trump & his wife personally. That's been done before. Any fresh ideas on political issues? Any of your own solutions? If these posts in this thread are examples of liberalism, I want no part of it.

I'm sorry to be so blunt but these posts are empty, off topic, and boring to read because, not only are the posts void of any worthy facts on political issues, but also because Americans have heard all these insults ad nauseum. I liken the personal and filthy attack on Trump's wife to the lowest of the low media attacks and dirty campaign tactics on every President and their families. And most Americans have no respect for those who launch this type of personal massacre.

Here is Trump's Family (which I'm posting in response to those who attacked Trump's family):

Lara, if your feelings were hurt because of my sarcastic reference to Melania, I apologise. Perhaps I went too far with my Canadian humour, which not all Americans appreciate. However, Mr. Trump has made very negative/arguably filthy comments about certain women. Many would find it difficult to take such a person seriously as a potential Potus.
 
I offer no apology... I detest Trump and see him AND his stances on most issues as a massive joke... so joking about him is appropriate. I would find it hard to discuss his policies with any seriousness.
 
QS, I may be wrong, but I think it was my original irreverent comment about Melania's sensuality that was perceived as disgusting and filthy. I think you will receive only a slap on the wrist. I don't think apologies are being accepted at the present time whether warranted or not. Perhaps that is less than courteous also? Once again, the culture clash. The Canadianim would not even blink at this satirical content.
