TRUMP: I'll go down 5 points in the polls by saying this, but I think Obama's tears were real
The Business Insider ^ | 1/6 | Colin Campbell

Posted on 01/06/2016 10:19:44 AM PST by TangledUpInBlue

"I actually think he was sincere. I'll probably go down about 5 points in the polls by saying that," the Republican presidential front-runner joked. "But I think he was sincere."

But Trump, who has vowed to reverse Obama's executive action, nevertheless said the president most likely "means well."

"I think he's incorrect about it. They're just taking chunks and chunks out of the Second Amendment," he said. "But I think he probably means well."

Trump went on to say that mass shootings were the result of a "huge mental-health problem," not a lack of gun-control measures.

Yes, he touched his left eye first....then seconds later the tears started flowing from a bloodshot eyeball. Look at a close up and you’ll see it clearly.

He then touched his right eye and guess what happened....more tears.

All this was rehearsed like a Bette Davis Hollywood movie. They must really think we’re stupid to fall for this BS.

Trump is wrong on this one.

I’ll have a go at it...
So it’s win at any cost? Abandon any principles, lie, and be a politician’s politician just to get the nomination? That’s the kind of man you want representing you as President? That’s the strategery?

“Anyone that thinks Obama means well lacks the cognition to be President.’

Not to mention Trump also thought the psychopath Hillary and her pedophile pervert husband also meant well.

Fake tears!

A man with no emotion and no heart can’t cry. A man with emotions couldn’t do what he has done to our country with a straight face.

“Oil can!”

I think that those who will only vote for Cruz and never Trump are well meaning and sincere, they're just wrong. No difference. You can say somebody is wrong without attaching a comment where you have no proof.

Also, please note: I wish I had the text for what Rush just said about Trump on the radio! It is the most dynamically given statement regarding Trump's contribution to this race.. and... and he emphatically states that Trump is not a liberal and he knows Trump personally.

His crying makes no sense.

He's sad because several kids were gunned down, but he supports unarmed teachers so that many more kids will be killed in cold blood.

Most of those kids would be alive today if an armed teach could’ve stopped them.

“...then I let a bunch of ghetto thugs out of jail to kill more kids in the cities based on imagined racism.”
-Obama

I’d rather evil not be elected in my name to run my country. You have other priorities. Same ones as a liberal I guess. “No matter what”.

Rather odd position you have there ‘old marine.”

That would be totally stupid. He did the smart thing, took the high ground, nothing lost... NOBODY who has a brain, Dem or Rep, really believes he was crying... but there are millions of folks who are naive and do believe it... why alienate them? Wise up!

**means well**

That’s annoying and very shallow, and it’s something I’ve heard that phony Bill O’Reilly say too many times (and is why I’ve tuned him out)!

And why worry about being PC now for crying out loud? You’ve done soooo well without the PC nonsense!

Please Mr. Trump, just call it like it is .. putting zero’s **meaning well** into perspective, zero has demonstrated, from day one, a vindictiveness against Americans and the Constitution, and IMO is worse than Bill Clinton being a pervert and a liar.

Zero NEVER means well .. has NEVER meant well .. will NEVER, EVER mean well - not in this life.

I think the Muslim had something on his fingers to make his eyes burn every time he touched them, and he did a lot of that from the clips that have been shown on TV..

Sure, I agree with Trump. When your entire psyche is run by feeeeelings, tearing up isn’t hard. It was real. But it makes no difference. What did the Progs think we’d do? “Oh, no, Obama is crying, quick, rip up the Constitution” ? Uhh, NO.

Norm, have you had your afternoon nap yet? Your stale insults and narrow minded assault on people is getting old. I’m no liberal, and neither is Trump, according to no less authority than Rush Limbaugh.

Ok, I will say this... “Trump alienates millions of emotional voters by claiming the President of the United States rubbed onions on his fingers before making a major speech...” That’s what you want? That would be totally stupid. He did the smart thing, took the high ground, nothing lost... NOBODY who has a brain, Dem or Rep, really believes he was crying... but there are millions of folks who are naive and do believe it... why alienate them? Wise up! Some freepers remind me of Arafat who wouldn’t take the 98% of what he wanted that Ehud Barak offered him... no, no 100% or nothing! Knock it off before you cost us the election. Trump is our best hope of winning and he’s an American and a Patriot who really does see through the politicians and the globalists. OK, Norm, now go get that nap.

Thank you I know it couldn’t be that upsetting to someone like him.

I also believe Trump mentioned this in the positive manner knowing people out here in Web would raise the real issue of Crocodile tears for him in the discussion of Trump and Obama.

He can later make a bigger issue of it when it is proven. As oppose to the Muzzies cheering on 911 in NJ issue.

Dude, you must be a really, really old marine. I am uninterested and unconcerned about what democrats want, need or will vote for. That’s the whole point of this election. Electing a conservative that will cause as much angst on the left as Obama has done to the right.

I don’t agree with Trump on this. Obama does not deserve any benefit of the doubt. Period!

I’m well rested. Doesn’t change the truth of my statement. As to your statement, I’m not sure what you were addressing in the muddled east. Because it really didn’t have a lot to do with the facts I stated.

I think Cruz supporters who would never vote for Trump and Trump supporters who would never vote for Cruz are sincere in their love for the country.

But I would never compare those supporters to Obama who despises what this country stands for.
