The real estate mogul and TV reality star launched his presidential campaign Tuesday, ending more than two decades of persistent flirtation with the idea of running for the Oval Office.

"So, ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our country great again," Trump told the crowd in a lengthy and meandering 45-minute speech that hit on his signature issues like currency manipulation from China and job creation, while also taking shots at the president and his competitors on the Republican side.

"Sadly the American dream is dead," Trump said at the end of his speech. "But if I get elected president I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before."

Thoughts?

It´ll still end up as betting on the lesser evil from a two-part one-party political system so it´s not very meaningful. What this mess needs is something called Democracy. Hopefully America will get that idea in the not too distant future.

Trump's net worth is around 4 billion. And he's a man who says a lot of bullshit. he says he wants Oprah to be the vice president 
At age 69, Trump would be senior to the oldest president Ronald Reagan if elected. He’s also older than Hillary Clinton, who’s 67. OLDIES RULE HERE, it seems.

Trump actually states his net worth is more than 8 million and he lives a private life so the govt doesn't know shit. Pretty bright thing to say for a wannabe prez. And yes, he did make that comment abour Oprah.
'Trump said he “jokingly’’ told George Stephanopoulos on ABC News that his dream ticket would feature media mogul Oprah Winfrey, 61, as his running mate, an idea he floated when he considered running for president in 1999.'

This topic is already being discussed on this forum Under the topic "America, you're fired!"

We should consolidate threads.

To the OP, what are your thoughts about Trump?

Trump is a very rich guy and he could send a big wave into the elections and possibly win few seats but i fail to see that he will be winning the presidential election. Trump will be same as  many other people who had run for election before him with money but failed to win the election. however i think Hilary will emerge as the winner in this election , thats what i could conceive

Whoever contest the election in the United States of America after Obama, the candidate who has full background of Business environment, they are sure going to be win. Obama got into president since the failure of the Bush tactics during his reign. Business controls all the power, law and money irrespective of any countries in the world.

It's probably just a publicity stunt. Only time will tell.

remember a few things


we dont elect the president , the electorial college does


second, they 'select' the president from candidates 'approved' by major parties in control of the wealthiest and most powerful corporations and individuals in the world.


Any president is like an actor in a film, he has to follow the script,


I think our country has been like that most of the 20th century possibly longer

If someone does not go along, things start to happen..........


remember what almost happened to Ford twice inside of about 40 days

i guess he decided to start following orders after the ruling class went after the poor guy 


Trump is a poor choice for a selection, he actually filed bankruptcy himself , who better than to run us into the ground

I say that's good. We need new ideas, and those most often comes from new people. He has very little chance of being elected but with a little provocation, he could make the election much more interesting, and force the other candidates to take risks, and that's good.

Even with all his $ i dont think he can handle the stress every president looks as if they age 20-30 years during their first 4 years and aother 10 2nd 4 years the secrets they have been told causes them all to go grey
