Trump Flashback: Reagan Was A "Con" Man Who Couldn’t "Deliver The Goods"

Anyone shocked? Me neither.

Furthermore, are you shocked that on Hannity the other night, Trump expressed how much he liked Reagan. Below the video, you will see an excerpt from his 1989 book, Art of the Deal.

"Too many FReepers have a tendancy to sew their lips to the ass of the wrong guy when they allow sentiment to crowd out reason. I remember a sizable portion of such dunderheads were calling for liberal idiot Scott Brown to be President of the United States of America after he won in Mass. You don't hear much from them any longer, but they were all over the place not too long ago. "

The best that can be said about Scott Brown is that he "served his purpose for that moment in time"

The same can be said about The Donald, he is serving his purpose for this moment in time.

So far I like what I see from Mr. Trump. Me too, even if he doesn't have "Conservative" tattooed to his chest.

Trump has said so many thing that need to be said that no other conservative male will say.

Don’t namecall Freepers who are rightfully raising the fact that Trump has a checkered liberal past.

It’s a misleading headline.

FYI Trumpsters:

Last evening DT was asked about a mega cono project in Florida. He was the front man. They took $45,000 from potential residents. It was NEVER built and the buyers LOST $45,000. They are sueing Trump.
I thought Trumps excuse for his actions were very enlightening.
Trump said IF the building had been built, the potential residents would not get the condos anyway.

Turns out Trump sells his name, he is paid 2 mil
a year to sit on a board, yet claims he has nothing to do with the company.

Now just WHO is the TRUE Con man.

TITLE -- Trump Flashback: Reagan Was A "Con" Man Who Couldn’t "Deliver The Goods"

This is 100% propaganda.

At no place in the article posted does Trump say that "Reagan is a con man." Nor does he at any place say that Reagan "couldn't deliver the goods."

He suggests that Carter didn't perform and he suggests that Reagan is still an open question after 7 years of his presidency.

The copyright on "The Art of the Deal" is 1987, one year before the end of Reagan's term in 1988. Therefore, saying in 1987 that the jury is still out is a fair statement. Reagan's term wasn't even up yet AND Congress had grossly overspent any benefit gained by Reagan's tax cuts.

As an active duty US Army officer at the time, let me say that NO president ever gave me more of a sense of pride than did Ronald Reagan. He is by far the best president of my lifetime, and belongs on Rushmore more than does T. Roosevelt.

OK, people are following the direction of the mainstream media agenda this week to attack Trump because he’s not reading off the media’s dictated cue cards

Really, what FReeper has condemned Trump for not "reading off the media's dictated cue cards"???

Trump is NOT even close to being a conservative.

Trump did join the Reform Party for a short while back in those days of Perot

Well Trump would certainly know about cons. He defaulted on a half dozen loans and left investors conned (and broke) through 3 business bankruptcies. When will Republicans be done with this douchebag fraud?

Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann have been doing that for months before Trump ever said anything.

Do you think Trump and Palin are the only choices?? Why??

I like Palin. Trump is a celebutard trojan horse saboteur and a con man.

I also like Bachmann, I can see myself supporting Cain or West if they get the nomination too.

Trump is a con man who is sucking all the oxygen out of any conservative alternatives. At least with Mitt or Huck, we have a pretty good idea of the RINO brand we are getting.

Since neither is getting much traction, Trump is the latest con by the enemedia.

Until rank and file conservatives stop allowing the enemedia to pick our candidates, we will continue to alternate between godawful presidents like Zer0 and merely mediocre ones like Bush/Mitt/Huck/Trump.

Get a clue people. Who makes the enemedia throw a hissy fit and attracts mudslinging like nobody else? Hint: Two of them are females from northern states.

Since when??

His donations last year suggests he was vigorously anti-TEA Party
