Glenn Beck unloads on Donald Trump: “The biggest flaming [ass] that you could possibly imagine”
Salon ^ | 17 JUNE 2015 | SOPHIA TESFAYE

According to Glenn Beck, the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump signals the demise of America.

Beck, discussing yesterday’s presidential announcement, called Trump “the opposite of every great leader,” and slammed him as “the most arrogant man” the right-wing radio host had ever seen.

Beck recalled the story of a Silicon Valley executive who swore off ever voting for a Republican candidate, citing the infamous Todd Akin “legitimate rape” comments, to complain that the media seized on such rare occurrences to unfairly paint the GOP as stupid and argue that a Trump candidacy would only serve as more harmful fodder.

Displaying a flagrant lack of self-awareness, Beck warned that “Donald Trump coming in and doing this to the Republicans is going to make all of us look ridiculous. Anybody who is a conservative, we are going to look absolutely like clowns. It’s just a shame.”

I agree. Carly Fiorna has said the same thing, has experience dealing with these different global agencies. I believe them, that’s what it’s all about, business. Politicians haven’t a clue. Our pols think LGBT issues and climate change is important to everyone, LOL

Glenn Beck used to be very good. But about two years ago he and his crew (Pat etc) of butt kissers became unlistenable. I have not listened since then.

I will vote for Donald Trump!! For him or Scott Walker!

You would vote for a man who would ban guns? Really?

I never could.

Yeah, but it’s the best flaming ass God ever created. No one has a better flaming ass than him, and he has 9 flaming asses in his closet just in case today’s flaming ass isn’t up to snuff. And he has the best closet anyone has ever seen, for that matter too, at least nine of them, all of them the best, oh my God, just to walk into any one of them is the best moment of anyone’s life.

And he can build a new flaming ass, let me tell you, and it will be the best flaming ass ever built, even better than the one God built on him, and The Donald can build it inexpensively, let him tell you.

And when Trump fires a torpedo through the middle of the Politically Correct gestapo you have to admire him, despite all of the other baggage. He’s fearless.

Trump claims to be pro-Second Amendment while also wanting to ban guns.

Got a source for that?

With the degree of overleverage he has, things could fall apart for him very quickly.

To Trump, Beck is that little pocket dog that takes a bite out of your pant leg. All he gets is a quick shake and a shoe in the . . . well . . . what are we writing about? . . . oh yes, flaming ass.

Beck has no clue what Trump can do for America. It sure isn’t being a yapping pocket dog with all yap and no doing. That is something we have seen from Zer0 and that has been disaster.

Haha :D

In all seriousness though, Trump behaves in an extremely braggadocious manner that is very off putting, if not down right obnoxious and laughable.

When I think of great leaders, I think of Ronald Reagan. There was a humble man who never seemed to speak of admiration of himself, but rather he spoke of love for his country and her people. He was a man who earned every bit of respect anyone ever gave him.

Donald Trump is so far from Ronald Reagan it boggles the mind.

This is not a man that I will vote for to be my president.

Sure.

Gun Control: Limit restrictions on guns. Ban some assault weapons and extend the waiting period for purchase.

During a 2013 interview with Fox News, the real estate mogul defined himself as, “a very strong person on the Second Amendment.” He believes guns are necessary for self-defense and has written that he generally opposes gun control. In his 2000 book, “The America We Deserve” Trump wrote that he supports a ban on assault weapons and a slightly longer waiting period to buy a gun.

democRAT opposition research is salivating at the idea of Trump being the RINO nominee.

they. would. have. a. field. day.

he has lots and lots of embarrassing skeletons in his closet.

at best, he’s a RINO. at worst, he’s a narcissist and egomaniac who is only making noises about running for his own selfish reasons. either way, i can’t take seriously the argument that Trump represents a change for the better.

“I think, even if it is not possible for him to win, he brings a welcomed perspective to the discussion that will force the others to address their positions on his campaign promises.”

The usual suspects who try to hide what they think and avoid dealing with controversy are going to find things getting hot if Trump stays in this.

Whatever faults Beck has, and he has many, being wrong about Trump isn’t one of them.

Donald Trump is the King of Asses.

Indeed. I wa speaking with some folks earlier today on that very issue. President Reagan was a very humble man. While not in Trump’s league as far as wealth goes, he was wealthy. But he would never have bragged about it. Nor was he boorish in nature or off-putting. Some here find Trump’s style refreshing, I find him to be arrogant and incredibly non presidential. He will never get the nomination, but his boorish style could still damage the Republican Party. Given that he has stated that he identifies more as a Democrat, I don’t think he cares.

This is a person who’s given six figures to Hillary, who would want the Obama-loving lefty Oprah as his VP, who loves using eminent domain to steal private property from others.

Beck can be tedious but he is one of us. Trump is not.
