It seems President Barack Obama has failed to win the confidence of one prominent pop culture and media figure.
Donald Trump, the real estate tycoon and reality show star, offered Fox Business Network viewers on December 13 his views on the current political climate. He made it clear he didn’t want to see taxes go up under any circumstances in this economy.
“[I] must tell you that I really think that taxes should remain as low as possible,” said Trump, who has said he is considering a 2012 presidential run. “We have a very, very weak economy and raising taxes at this point would be very bad, I think.”

Yes. And we need to cut spending, somehow.
Trump spot on, now.
But Trump was a supporter of Obama earlier. Trump failed to recognize that a complete lack of practical experience is the reason that Obama is over his head.
Time for: “you’re fired!”
Exactly - we lowly non-billionaires who did not inherit Daddy’s dough knew WAAAAAAAY before the Trumpster that Obummer’s election would not be a good thing. So now Trump is a genius because he finally figured it out?
A little late to the game...
That's not completely true.
He could have worked hard and studied, and gotten into college. Maybe not Harvard, but some college.
What got him into Harvard was MONEY. LOTS OF MONEY.
You are correct about the racial quota/affirmative-action allowing him to graduate (at the top of his class, even though his grades were likely very 'low').
It’s be interesting to get Trump under sodium pentathol and ask him whether, in 2008, based on 0bama’s credentials, whether Trump would have hired him to run one of his subsidiary businesses,
much less approve of him for the presidency.
“Seems”? Yes, and it “seems” as though dogs wag their tails when excited, and it “seems” as though Hillary has giant ankles. And it SEEMS as though the sun lets off a lot of light and heat....
Why anyone is interested in his show-bizzy, self-promoting life and times is beyond me.
As for his running in 2012, all I can say is that thanks to Obama the bar for quality and class in the presidency is forever lowered......so, to some, Donald Trump sitting in the Oval Office will look good.

“He could have worked hard and studied, and gotten into college. Maybe not Harvard, but some college”.
The operative words are “worked hard”. This guy is nothing but a dilettante. “Working hard” are words neither in this guy’s vocabulary nor ability.
Trump:
I have admired you for years but puhlease....STFU on the whole “might run for President” BS.
It makes for fun on the midway at the carnival but other than that your are and never have been serious about any so called political aspirations.
Ray Stevens could make a great song based on the idea in your post. In fact I could almost write it myself but I am not a performer, send it to Ray please.
Seems to be over his head? I would say it’s been proven a hundred times.
It only took him two years to figure out what was obvious to us from the get-go. Funny.
Trump was all for Obama 2 years ago. I remember that.
