Donald Trump may be the man America needs. Having been through four bankruptcies, the ridiculous buffoon with the worst taste since Caligula is uniquely positioned to lead the most indebted organization in the history of the human race.
The Trump conglomerate is the Argentina of limited-liability companies,having been in bankruptcy as recently as 2009. To be sure,a lot of companies went bankrupt around then. The Trump gang went bankrupt in 2004,too,and in 2001. Before that, Trump was in bankruptcy court back in 1991 when his Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City—the nation’s first casino-cum-strip-club, an aesthetic crime against humanity that is tacky by the standards of Atlantic City—turned out to be such a loser that Trump could not make his debt payments.
The closing of that casino has been announced at least twice—it was supposed to shut its doors in December, but it limps on.
Donald Trump, being Donald Trump, announced his candidacy at Trump Plaza,making a weird grand entrance via escalator—going down, of course,the symbolism of which is lost on that witless ape. But who could witness that scene—the self-made man who started with nothing but a modest portfolio of 27,000 New York City properties acquired by his millionaire slumlord father, barely out of his latest bankruptcy and possibly headed for another one as the casino/jiggle-joint bearing his name sinks into the filthy mire of the one U.S. city that makes Las Vegas look respectable, a reality-television grotesque with his plastic-surgery-disaster wife, grunting like a baboon about our country’s “brand” and his own vast wealth—and not see the peerless sign of our times?
On the substance, Trump is—how to put it gently? Oh, why bother!—an ass. Not just an ass, but an ass of exceptionally intense asininity........

The interesting approach continues. I’ll watch. Reminds me of the movie, “Gangs of New York.”
Trump is far from perfect but he will bring some NYC streetwise energy into this campaign.
Actually few short minutes if you were watching Faux news. :-)
You take the most flak when you are over the target.
This writer is far too over-the-top to be taken seriously. Witless ape? And it looks like he had his unabridged thesaurus out while putting his little rant together.
“The article is from National Review, not from the liberal media”
No its from the RINO media.
Indeed, anybody who promises go come between the GOPe and their cheap immigrant labor, as Trump has, will get the same treatment.
And because Ross Perot proclaimed that he wanted to "look under the hood" and fix the economy, Bill Clinton won the presidency twice with less than 50% of the vote.
This smells like a New York Donald-Hillary deal.
Just to make it clear, Trump, in toto, did not go bankrupt. Each venture, such as a building project, is incorporated as a separate entity. That project may go bankrupt, but not Trump as a person.
“While it has been an open secret for several years that Donald Trump was once a heavy Democratic donor, a deeper analysis of campaign records shows that the real estate billionaire’s contributions skewed even further left during the 2006 mid-term election, the crucial contest that put Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi in power and arguably helped pave the way for Barack Obama’s political agenda.
Between 1989 and 2010, The Donald gave $314,300 to Democratic groups and candidates and $290,600 to Republicans, according to a Daily Caller analysis of records maintained by the Center for Responsive Politics.
But Trump’s donation gap was even larger during the mid-2000s, which saw the end of Republican congressional majorities and the ascendance of the Democratic party.
Overall in the 2006 election cycle, Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., donated $77,200 to Democrats versus only $24,250 on Republicans. Looking back to the 2004 cycle, the pair donated $40,500 to Democrats and only $17,250 to the GOP.....................”
Yeh last night I heard I think Brit Hume say nobody is more conservative than George Will who writes for the National Review and I almost threw up in my mouth. :-)
High praise indeed.
uh oh. The gop e whores at NR have their knickers in a wad. Score another win for Trump. Not bad for a first day.
“Between 1989 and 2010, The Donald gave $314,300 to Democratic groups and candidates and $290,600 to Republicans, according to a Daily Caller analysis of records maintained by the Center for Responsive Politics.”
So out of $9 billion what is that? 3 cents. LOL!
He gave the Dems $24,300 more than the republicrats. Oooo treason. LOL!
All big business men give to both parties. They have to do business. They try to seem somewhat neutral. You will have to indict every other business person in America just to burn Trump for some chump change.
George Will is a GOPe shill of the highest order. In addition he’s petty and mean spirited about it. He is a RINO’s dream.
Anyone else and you’d have some Africanized bees in your bonnet.
Best go find that rifle, it’s going to be bumpy flight.
Yes, he has driven the author spittle flecked mad. Whatever Trump is or is not, this article is a profane over the top rant so extreme that is discredits the NR and the author.
