Trump Gives GOP Anti-Compromise Debt Crisis Pep Talk

video
» 19 comments

Donald Trump has only room on his schedule for one and one political goal only: to defeat Barack Obama. This puts him somewhat at odds with the nation, which is a bit more worried about not defaulting right now, as, in Trump’s own words, a bad resolution to the current debt crisis would “guarantee” President Obama an election loss.

“All of the pressure on the debt ceiling is on Obama,” Trump warned in the latest installment of his YouTube series, “not on the Republicans.” While many believe it is Congress that has more to lose from the debt wars, Trump argues that “nobody’s going to remember Boehner or anybody else, they’re only going to remember Obama,” and that the threat of a bad legacy is strong enough to keep the President in check and push him to compromise.

That said, Trump opposes almost all compromise. In fact, there is only one deal he would want to see Republicans take: “the unbelievable, great deal” that would involve repealing Obamacare, which, as far as anyone knows, is not on the table for anyone involved in the debt talks. If they can’t get “the phenomenal deal, including getting rid of Obamacare, they should just tap it along,” he argues, because in the worst case scenario, the country might be wounded significantly, but “there’s no way that Obama could be reelected, and that would be a great thing for the country.”

He then turns second person on the Republicans, fulfilling a bit of a Mr. Miyagi role to them as they face the final battle: “don’t fold,” he advises, “don’t g ive up.” He reiterates that “it’s impossible for him to get reelected if this isn’t solved, so don’t be stupid, don’t be foolish.” The foolish behavior, to Trump, would be to reach a compromise, as “it’s impossible for him to get reelected if this isn’t solved.” Instead of solving the debt crisis, Trump inexplicably suggests, Republicans should resurrect the entire hair-graying, tantrum-inducing discussion yet again, “around June or July of next year, and I guarantee you one thing: Obama will not be President for long.” Which leaves only one question unanswered: will Trump be the one to take the reins from Obama in 2012?

    Wait. Mr. “Run up the debt and declare bankruptcy,” is giving advice on debt? This guy’s answer to debt is to file for bankruptcy and run away giggling.

    What a maroon.

    “Donald Trump has only room on his schedule for one and one political goal only: to defeat Barack Obama. This puts him somewhat at odds with the nation,”

    By “nation” Martel means liberal democrats. The majority of the nation really supports obama in ONE way, and it is in his own words, Martel.

    “I’d rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term
    president,” he told ABC’s “World News” anchor Diane Sawyer.

    One and done, as you wish.

    Now here is a time when Trump is qualified to speak.  He’s an expert on being a dead beat and not paying his debts.

    What’s the matter Trumpty Dumpty, got time to kill before the next season of whichever celebrity wants to be relevant again starts filming?

    Mr. Trump allegedly wrote a book that was quite popular at one time. It is entitled “The Art of the Deal”, and is about how to reach agreements by negotiation and compromise. Now I’m not so sure he actually wrote the book — or even read it.

    Oh quit kissing obama’s skinny black ass and grow up Elly.  If you think obama should be reelected, you should burn in hell.   He is dismantling this country piece by piece and needs to be stopped. 

  • Russelmessick

    The comments on her sound like they’re from children having no clue of the extreme damage obama’s doing to our county.   If you all weren’t so child like and got really informed about obama’s destruction to our country and truly opened your eyes to the truth you would applaud what trump is saying.
