Billionaire businessman Donald Trump ditched the teleprompter at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday and received huge ovations as he slammed President Barack Obama's leadership both at home and abroad.

"We have so many problems — and we have so little leadership," Trump said at the session in suburban Washington. "It's all about the leadership."

He cited China's move this week to devalue its currency against the American dollar, as well as Russian President Vladimir Putin's assault on Ukraine as examples of the United States' decline as a world power.

"The reason why they're doing it is because our leadership is so weak and so pathetic that they can get away with it," Trump said regarding China's currency devaluation. "Believe me, they're taking our jobs — and they're taking them, big league.

the kool aid you have spilt all over yourself does not enhance your cred.

Your slobbering analysis of Trump and jobs and his so called answers are just infantile.

[GOPsterinMA]

Just for the entertainment value, Trump would be great.

Let’s pretty up this thread:

I have to admit it SOL, you get it right more often than not...

On Trump I had no doubt that he was playing the suckers, and recall how I went out on limb and stated unequivocally that ‘she is not running’

I use to get freemails from friends here telling me that this or that convinced THEM that she was running, and I would reply ‘no she is not’

I had Democrats here tell me that she’s running.

I told them NO she is not/.

I had no doubts with those two.

Wishing aint reality.

trump touched on a subject that other conservatives refused to go near. birtherism. thus trump chumps think the donald has courage.

[DannyTN]

That’s it? Trump is a democrat sleeper agent because he raised the birth certificate issue?

The other one I called was that Jim DeMint wasn’t running for POTUS 2012.

It was amazing that Neil Cavuto asked him ~ 2011 and he replied ‘Hell No, I sure don’t want that job’

yet there’s always a few freepers here who can’t understand what ‘Hell no’ means.

"trump touched on a subject that other conservatives refused to go near. birtherism. thus trump chumps think the donald has courage."

Yes, and we think the rest of the GOPe are spineless. We thought it before Trump raised the issue. We thought it when Trump raised the issue . And we still do.

That's all you got is name calling.

How about a serious analysis of where Trump stands on the issues.

Trump is the only candidate that has addressed the biggest issue facing America. Jobs.

Trump probably will be soft on social issues. I doubt he has much of a value system.

On Abortion, Trump is now saying the right things, but his basis for changing his views isn't scripture or the sanctity of life, but personal stories.

On Gay Special Rights, Trump says "Gay Marriage isn't his thing." That doesn't say Trumps opposed to them, but at least he won't be spreading gay rights with religious fervor like Obama. I think it's safe to say Trump is straight, and doesn't care about Gay rights one way or the other.

On gun control, Trump is against gun control, acknowledging the need for law abiding people to have guns, but he is for an assault weapon ban.

On Immigration, Trump has been very vocal against illegal immigration. He recognizes that's one of the causes of unemployment.

On Obamacare, Trump has said he would repeal it, and replace it with something more affordable. And he also singled out the requirement that all insurance fund abortions as something he would do away with.

Trump recognizes the importance of cheap oil and energy to our economy.

[C. Edmund Wright]

It is pure and simply absurd to say he’s the only candidate (is he even a candiate) who has addressed the biggest issue facing America. Besides, his prescrption is all wrong as is yours.

Hes pro union, thinks his mere presence will somehow make all trade deals magical - he’s your leprechaun and you can’t see he’s magically liberal.

He is conservative in tone, as in a warrior tone, and I like that, but he is a flaming liberal when you get to the bottom of his main political connections and beliefs.

If you are too star struck to understand that, you have problems.

[DannyTN]

No His prescription is correct. You can cut all taxes and regulations and you still won't compete with Chinese labor rates. We need to restore the import tariffs back to where they were.

I'm not star struck at all. But let's face it, charisma is needed to win elections. And a lot of our candidates have the charisma of a prune.

Trump's value system leaves a lot to be desired. But he clearly loves America. He understands trade. He understands negotiations. He understands management of large enterprises. And last but not least, he can fire people.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Enjoy your China obsession….but leave me out of it.

Trump is an intellectual mess, as is anyone who falls for his flapdoodle.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

Trump was correct about these thugs. They may not have been involved in the attack on the jogger but they were in the park to beat and rob people. The thing is if there actually was a death penalty in NY they would have been cleared by the time they got anywhere near the needle.
