Tag: Donald Trump

Amanda Carpenter sounds like a spiteful b*tch

You know, I supported this woman, when all that nonsense came out a while back and now that her candidate has lost, she puts out this below:

If there is one beautiful thing about Trump nearly securing the GOP nomination, it’s that no one owes him anything. Not a handshake. Not a congratulatory press release. Nada. Consider yourselves liberated. There’s no normal obligation to support Trump as the nominee. He has both policy and personality issues that make him unfit for the highest office in the land. – Source: Liberated by Trump

My response to this is: No one is obligated to believe that you were not screwing Ted Cruz either; but I do. Just sayin’ 😡

Ted Cruz supporters are such sore losers, kind of like Ted himself. 🙄

Ha! Lena Dunham Says, “If Trump Wins, I will flee to Canada!” Trump says, “Americans will thank me if she does!”

I have to confess, I laughed out loud, when I read this:

Via the Hill:

Lena Dunham is the latest celebrity to say she’ll hightail it out of the country if Donald Trump is elected president.

“I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will,” Dunham told Andy Cohen at the Matrix Awards on Monday.

“I know a lovely place in Vancouver and I can get my work done from there.”

Well, Donald Trump had an awesome response to that:

Not only would Donald Trump not mind if certain celebrities flee the United States upon his election, the Republican front-runner said Tuesday that their opposition to his candidacy only increases his will to win.

During a telephone interview with “Fox & Friends,” Trump was asked about a tweet from Lena Dunham on Monday in which she vowed to leave the U.S. for Vancouver if he is elected president.

Trump’s response: “Well, she’s a B-actor. You know, she has no — you know, no mojo.”

“I heard Whoopi Goldberg too. That would be a great thing for our country,” Trump said, as the show flashed a graphic of celebrities who it said would leave the U.S. for Canada, including Dunham, Jon Stewart, and Rosie O’Donnell, with whom the Manhattan real-estate mogul has feuded for years.

When co-host Steve Doocy pointed out that O’Donnell’s name on the list, Trump remarked, “Now I have to get elected.”

“Now I have to get elected because I’ll be doing a great service to our country,” he said. “Now it’s much more important. In fact, I’ll immediately get off this call and start campaigning right now.”

As you all know, I am not a fan boy of Donald Trump, and for some very good reasons. But, this…..this was awesomeness at it’s best. I really hope Trump does win; so that these liberal idiot twats really do leave our Country and take their European socialist horse manure ideals with them.

This, my dear friends, cannot happen fast enough.

 

Sources say that Donald Trump’s campaign manager will not be charged

This comes via Politico:

A Florida prosecutor has decided not to prosecute Donald Trump’s campaign manager for battery after a March run-in with former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields, sources with knowledge of the situation told POLITICO.

The decision not to press charges against Corey Lewandowski is scheduled to be announced on Thursday afternoon by Palm Beach County State Attorney David Aronberg.

Fields may still pursue a defamation case against Lewandowski, a source said.

Fields filed a police report last month after Lewandowski grabbed her by the arm and moved her out of Trump’s way following a press conference at Trump National Gold Club in Jupiter. She said he left bruises on her arm. Police later charged Lewandowski with simple battery, releasing video from surveillance cameras that shows Lewandowski reaching for and grabbing Fields.

This is really not that big of a surprise to me at all. For one thing Donald Trump probably is good friends with the prosecutor down there in Florida and two, there really wasn’t an assault here.

This was a woman getting her arm grabbed and being pulled back away from Trump that is a far cry from a vicious physical assault.

Not to mention the fact that Michelle Fields sensationalized her story and lied about being thrown to the ground and then once the video came out, she softened up her accusations against him.

Either way, I believe that the campaign manager should have never been charged in the first place and if I was a campaign manager, I would file a lawsuit against the police in Florida for arresting him and then putting him in jail over something silly like that. I believe, it was basically over reach by the Florida police to put him in jail.

Furthermore, I would file a liability lawsuit against Michelle Fields for slandering his name in the public to the media and straight up lying about him throwing her on the floor.

I’m no fan of trump and I will not be voting for him in the general election. But, it is obvious that this woman tried to use Trump as a way of furthering her career as a fabulist journalist for Breitbart and then when the video came out it backfired on her and now she doesn’t have a job and will probably end up getting sued in court for making some very wildly inaccurate statements to the media.

Video: Mark Levin turns on Trump

This is not going to bode well for Trump at all. If Levin turns on Trump, it’s gonna be tough for him. Levin has influence.

The Right Scoop has the video: (H/T HotAir.com)

Also too, keep in mind, I’m not Mark Levin fanboy here, okay? I find the guy to be shrill and annoying. But, the guy has influence and that is important. Conservative talk radio has come to influence elections; especially in red states.

Of course, you all know why I rescinded my support of Trump.

Here’s my video commentary on this subject:

Internal Trump Campaign Memo proves that he’s a blowhard who should not be President

The Memo:

The story via The Washington Post:

In a private document that was circulated over the weekend and obtained by The Washington Post, Trump campaign senior adviser Barry Bennett revealed the mounting frustrations among the billionaire’s top aides as they closed what had been a tumultuous week.

Entitled “Digging through the Bull [expletive],” Bennett’s memo urged Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski — who was charged with battery last week for allegedly yanking a reporter — and others to ignore critics who have questioned whether Trump’s campaign for the Republican presidential nomination has waned.

“America is sick of them. Their idiotic attacks just remind voters why they hate the Washington Establishment,” Bennett wrote, citing tracking poll data favorable to Trump.

[….]

The “internal campaign memorandum,” addressed to “Corey and Team,” was given to the Post by a Republican familiar with the campaign who requested anonymity to pass on a communication from within Trump’s inner circle.

When reached by phone, Bennett confirmed that he wrote the memo and sent it to his colleagues in the campaign.

“Personally, it’s been a very hard time. You’ve got Republicans in Washington saying they’re keeping lists of people who work for Mr. Trump, who say you’ll never work in this town again,” Bennett said in a brief interview. “My point is that people should be pumped that the establishment is spinning.”

When asked whether his ire was directed more at the national media or the GOP’s establishment wing, Bennett said, “Both.”

“All of that is the establishment,” Bennett said. “The press is printing the narrative that the Republican establishment is setting. What’s necessary — what I’m saying here — is that we can’t let that influence how we see ourselves.”

A veteran of Republican campaigns, Bennett previously served as campaign manager for former Trump rival Ben Carson and made his way into Trump’s orbit in late January.

Sorry Bennet, But, when your boss decides to allow one of his friends, that being the National Enquirer smear a very well-known conservative voice and then your campaign manager promotes that smear; you lose me.

The offending tweet:

This, my friends, is why I stopped supporting Donald Trump. Oh, yes, he does have some good promises on illegal immigration, trade and foreign policy. But that is about all they are — promises. Which most likely are lies being told to get elected, knowing Trump. Others have said it, and I will say it too; the guy is nothing more than a Authoritarian centrist, who will get elected and proceed to change nothing in Washington D.C. and will basically be as bad, if not worse than Obama and Bush combined.

This is why I am voting third party this time around. Because Ted Cruz is dangerous; but Donald Trump? He’s worse.

Trump does a NYT interview with Modow

It’s your typical ego stuff too.

NYT:

WASHINGTON — YOU could hear how hard it was for Donald Trump to say the words.

“Yeah, it was a mistake,” he said, sounding a bit chastened. “If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t have sent it.”

I was telling him he lost my sister’s vote when he retweeted a seriously unflattering photo of the pretty Heidi Cruz next to a glam shot of his wife, Melania.

He repeated his contention that he didn’t view the Heidi shot “necessarily as negative.” But I stopped him, saying it was clearly meant to be nasty.

Trump also got into his schoolyard excuse of “he did it first” and “that wasn’t nice,” insisting that Ted Cruz wrote the words on the digital ad put up by an anti-Trump group aimed at Utah Mormons; it showed Melania in a 2000 British GQ shot posing provocatively and suggested that it was not First Ladylike. Cruz denies any involvement.

Truth be told, Trump said he “didn’t love the photo” of Melania. “I think she’s taken better pictures,” he said, also protesting: “It wasn’t a nude photo, either. It wasn’t nude!”

It’s ridiculous how many mistakes Trump has made in rapid order to alienate women when he was already on thin ice with them — and this in a year when the Republicans will likely have to run against a woman.

You see why I decided against voting for the guy? This here and Amanda Carpender‘s smearing was it for me.

Needless to say, he won’t be getting my vote. No sir. Not me.

Video: Pat’s Thoughts: Michelle Fields didn’t lie, but she did spice her story

Update: Now a major story on Memeorandum. Here’s the link to the original story at Palm Beach Post.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2Pkh5W1kgU

The story via NYT:

Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, was charged with simple battery Tuesday after the police said he grabbed a reporter for Breitbart News as she tried to ask the candidate a question in Jupiter, Fla., according to the police.

The formal charges stem from a March 8 encounter that dominated headlines for days and became an unwanted distraction for Mr. Trump’s campaign after his successful victories in Super Tuesday contests.

A spokeswoman for Mr. Trump, Hope Hicks, insisted that Mr. Lewandowski was “not arrested” over the allegations that he grabbed the reporter, Michelle Fields, after a news conference at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter. Instead, she said he “was issued a notice to appear and was given a court date.”

According to the “arrest/notice to appear” paperwork from the Jupiter Police Department, Mr. Lewandowski was charged with one count of simple battery after the police took statements from Ms. Fields and a Washington Post reporter, Ben Terris, who said he witnessed the grabbing incident.

Ms. Fields said after the news conference that she had been trying to question Mr. Trump about judges and affirmative action when Mr. Lewandowski grabbed her roughly. She posted on Twitter a picture of purplish, finger-shaped bruises on her arm.

Mr. Lewandowski denied touching her and called her “delusional.”

But according to the police report, security video from the Trump golf club showed Mr. Lewandowski grabbing her and pulling her away from the candidate.

Indeed, a series of still photographs captured from security cameras at the golf club, released Tuesday by the Jupiter police, appears to corroborate Ms. Fields’s version of events: Mr. Lewandowski can be seen reaching for and then grabbing her arm, tugging at her clothing as he pulls her; he then walks ahead of her, close behind Mr. Trump. It all takes less than four seconds.

Mr. Lewandowski is known as a combative and sometimes divisive figure in Mr. Trump’s orbit. He has been known to scream and curse at reporters with regularity, putting some on a “blacklist” for coverage he considers unfavorable. And more recently, he was seen wandering into the crowd at a Trump rally in Arizona to confront a protester, grabbing the man by the back of his collar and pulling him.

Ms. Hicks, in her statement: said, “Mr. Lewandowski was issued a notice to appear and was given a court date. He was not arrested. Mr. Lewandowski is absolutely innocent of this charge. He will enter a plea of not guilty and looks forward to his day in court. He is completely confident that he will be exonerated.”

This is so true

This is possibly the best paragraph that I’ve seen written on this site, in a long, long time.

This is why the GOP has “failed” the Rust Belt. Instead of being in touch with free market principles, Republicans have consistently failed to adhere to them. Maybe that’s the only consistent thing the GOP has been good at: failure to stick to what they believe. But voters have also failed at holding the “leaders” accountable and let them get too cushy in DC. This is why Trump is leading in the GOP race, but Americans need to understand why things are so complicated and how to fix the problem. It isn’t because of “evil corporate leaders,” but a combination of government interference and economics. The key point is figuring out a way to message it towards people in the Rust Belt, whether they’re small business owners or just the guy working a factory plant job. Maybe the solution is just sitting there and saying, “Hey…here’s why things aren’t working,” then going into math, but I’m not 100% sure. The facts are complicated, but the solution is simple IF people are willing to go for it. This means holding politicians accountable for their mistakes and staying involved in politics (and taking the occasional break). There’s responsibility on everyone, it’s just a question of who is willing to do it. – Source: How the GOP failed the Rust Belt and let Trump rise « Hot Air

So true, so very true.
