Well, obviously it's a boondoggle. If it is govt money, it is almost always allocated with a spreader. The real stealing was when the governments acquired the money from productive types.

[AmericanArchConservative]

Trumpster nails the UN ping!

He's being more than a bit disingenuous here. He knows darn well why it's more expensive than it ought to be, and he knows there's worse going on here than incompetence.

I hate to tell you but if your a person that really really knows your stuff in a BIG money biz.. you deal all the time with grossly incompetent boobs at the very top in position of great power... and that how you have to deal with them to get things done...smile, defer, blow happy smoke up there asses that they the love so much... then get them the hell out of your way so you can do what need to be done and done right so you you don't spent your life getting jerked around by some pompous nitwit in a position of power...(did International tel-com for multinational company's and government...you just wouldn't believe)...

yeah, geniuses are like that, think/breath/talk in circles. Masters of multitasking.

Which is why it's so hard telling the difference between an Einstein and a Savant, I guess...

[fish hawk]

Trump will do it for 700,000 000 and over run the budget 5 more million and end up with 6 million profit in his pocket.

[Colorado Doug]

How much would it cost to move the U.N. to Europe? Not the building, that is ours, just the crooks

It would be cheaper in both the long and short run to just move them halfway to Europe.

I don't like Trump because of his poitical positions but I must say he showed some big brass using the word 'corruption' face to face with the Senate!

I guess I will have to give him more respect. He deserves it after this speech.

[Brimack34]

Thanks for posting this is was great. We need to get it out to all talk shows so we can get max coverage. Get it to Hedgehog so he can play it on Rush.

Having been around building all my life, there are some real gems in this... look past his ego/bragging, and hear what he says.

Even if you are only building an addition on your lil ranch house, the critical issue is this. GET PLANS AND SPECS.

Wow, I'm not a big fan of 'The Donald' but he sure knew what he was talking about and gave it to them good!

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[B4Ranch]

You forgot Permits

[concrete is my business]

I suppose it is too much to hope for...the towers rebuilt.

I liked Trumps plan.

[glock rocks]

That's rich. Thanks for the ping.

[denydenydeny]

Trememdously entertaining, and, as Dizzy Dean used to say, "It ain't bragging if you can do it."

[STARWISE]

This is priceless!! Thanks for posting .. I needed that...laughter to the point of tears, I tell ya :). And his ego is so huge, he doesn't even realize how funny he is.

[Howlin]

I first read this article; I laughed all the wayt through it.

Then I listened to the mp3. Boy, did he burn them a new one, as only he can.

I wish I had actually SEEN this. It's about time somebody said something close to the truth in those hallowed halls, isn't it?

BTW, I wonder who it was from New York that suggested putting Kofi's office on the top floor of the building Trump was suggesting they build down near the WTC? That certainly was a bizarro moment with a crass implication, wasn't it? :-)

"BTW, I wonder who it was from New York that suggested putting Kofi's office on the top floor of the building Trump was suggesting they build down near the WTC? That certainly was a bizarro moment with a crass implication, wasn't it? :-)"

I think that was Trumps way of saying Kofi shouldn't treat me as if I am a tribesman from the jungle. Trump recognized the massive corruption from a long way off and undoubtedly ripped up a lot of yet printed Lotto winner tickets in the UN hierarchy with his testimony.
