Mark Levin On ‘Airhead’ Donald Trump: ‘Does This Guy Sound Stupid Or What?’

Audio
» 25 comments

The conservative claws are coming out for potential Republican candidate for President Donald Trump. Not only has Congresswoman Michele Bachmann declared the story with President Obama’s birth certificate is “over,” but now radio host Mark Levin is tearing Trump apart on his other favorite issues. Comparing Trump’s thinking to President Herbert Hoover, Levin does not mince words for the man he sarcastically refers to as “our new conservative hero.”

What prompted Levin’s outrage was Trump failing to defend Republican Congressman Paul Ryan‘s budget. Levin played a clip of Trump on NBC vowing to always protect Medicare for senior citizens and saying “I think Paul Ryan is too far out front with this issue, I think he ought to sit back and relax.” When Trump instead suggests the budget problems could be fixed by taking on China and OPEC, Levin stops the clip and angrily yells “What the hell does that have to do with Medicare? Does this guy sound stupid or what?” Levin is outraged over Trump not having any idea about Medicare and demanded to know why “when Medicare is going to collapse Mr. Businessman” you want Paul Ryan to sit back and relax?

Levin was on fire as he provided a series of arguments to discredit nearly every perceived benefit of a Trump candidacy. Suggesting Trump’s proposal for a tariff on goods from China is as horrible of an idea as many of Trump’s other past positions, Levin said even if “all your supporters are going to give you a pass on every damn thing you’ve ever said or done” Levin will not be along for the ride. And in his final parting shot, since Trump repeatedly argues his success as a businessman would make him a great President, Levin humorously concludes, “if I follow your logic, Bill Gates ought to be President of the United States because he’s worth ten times what you are too, and yet when it comes to economics and government he’s an airhead just like you.”

    Bu… bu… bu… The Donald was 60 points ahead of any other Republican with presidential ambitions! and he had not even made a formal announcement yet!

    Did The Bald One see the Donald perform last Saturday? He had the rabble on fire!

    i really think we need a serious effort to educate usa people to think . Nobody in their right minds would get a trumped up liar who does bankrucy 4 times to make money in charge of our economy. Trump is a smal time crook with a loud mouth . Really america use your brains and dont get fogged up with stupid calls for war against opec and china . Trump sounds like napolean going against russia. Trump is good for being the trump card for the democrtas to win hand over fist as the gop gets conned into thinking Trump is good for usa.

  • huntingtonboy

    When you compare education levels among the 30 industrialized countries, we come in about 26. That says something. The fact that Trump is running away in the polls and people still think there an elaborate plan hatched 60 years ago to make Obama the first, whatever, President it’s no wonder people everywhere think we are all stupid. Most of us you are.

    Levin is a RINO people need to turn him off. Trump is our best chance for the nomination. Iowa is in January and know one has entered the race yet.

  • Barack Must Go

    I have to admit Levin is not my cup of tea ( coffee actually ) mainly because an awful lot of the time he’s too smart ( or at least he belives his is ) for his own good, or the place and time America and her people find themselves in on any given day, at any given time.

    He all but admitted Trump is presidential material when he compared him to ( I’m guessing a president he loaths ) Hoover.

    Next he goes apeshit because Trump ( the consumate winner ) knows in his heart of hearts, as well as brilliant business mind, Paul Ryan’s plan and subsequent democrat followed by the publics violent reaction, that if persued, spells the ‘ kiss of death ‘ for the Republican parties chances of ousting Barack Obama in 2012.

    Trump, Palin, Bachmann and very few others, maybe Alan West and Rand Paul really get it. It’s that simple in a 24/7 world where everyone in the world has the ability to watch, track and go to the archives and bring your past back to life, or to haunt you. You have to ‘ GET IT ‘ and be able to move on and speak up unafraid as, so far anyway, only they can do.

  • Sixteezkid

    Your first thought was “WHAT DOES CHINA HAVE TO DO WITH MEDICARE?”!!!!

    If you don’t get that, then you should get off the air immediately. Go to school and take some basic economic classes. And then try to comprehend what Trump was saying: A “big picture” thought in a few lines, but you didn’t get it.

    I’m not a rabid Trump fan here. Just saying…if you don’t get the economic scenario, then you’re lost, Levin.

  • Jersey Shore Conservative

    “now radio host Mark Levin is tearing Trump apart”… NOW? Have you ever listened to the show? He’s been tearing Trump apart from day ONE.

  • Sixteezkid

    @Dallyblumenthal: You obviously are completely unaware of what it takes to build a business. Remember the old lines: “You win some, you lose some” and “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again”???

    Have a look at what Fred Smith did to create FedEx. If you think that happened overnight without failures, you’re stoned. Being an entrepreneur is a rare breed. If a company goes bankrupt after trying and doesn’t make it, a credit committee decides to take X amount per dollar. And you can bet those same people came back later to do deals with Trump. It’s tough building a business. One can get caught in the middle of a recession while being leveraged to the hilt. Game over – until he tries again. Now, that’s someone who can be counted on. Cuz he doesn’t give up.

  • ProObamaAgenda

    sorry mr levin…TRUMP OWNS YOUR SORRY ASS TOO…….no use trying to stop the runaway train now…..trump said…DONT TOUCH MY MEDICARE !!!!!…….take it like a champ chump….you wingnuts lose again….im voting trump, i like his style….trumps a democrat that took over the republican party…hijacked your dumb asses, you thought you could lie for 2 years and it not have an impact???….its time to pay the piper levin…Obamas about to TAX DAT ASS…..when push comes to a shove po folks stick together….its redistribution time……GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK…..NOWWWWWWWWWWWW

  • George Sore-ohs

    Some of his non fans have described Levin as sounding like Groucho Marx having a hysterectomy.

  • msblkwidow

    Yep! ofwell, you’re right. “They eat their own.” The eating frenzy is on. There are folks here who are feeding on Mark Levin right now. It’s soooo funny. BARACK MUST GO said, “I have to admit Levin is not my cup of tea ( coffee actually ) mainly because an awful lot of the time he’s too smart ( or at least he belives his is ) for his own good, or the place and time America and her people find themselves in on any given day, at any given time.”

    First, I found it difficult to understand his sentence structure. So I am assuming that he is giving a couple of reasons for his (now) disdain for Mark Levin. Well it too late buddy, It appears to me that many republicans flip-flop all the time – even in who you are supporting, And when anyone speaks out against the craziness, they get the mad-dog ravenous attack. Anyone with a little common sense can see that Donald Trump is not a smart person. I agree with Mark Levin when he said, “…talk about Medicare.” “…Donald Trump can build buildings…” But Donald Trump’s IQ must be no more than average…and that’s fine. Many of us have average IQs; but we’re not talking about running for the office of President of the United States.

    Finally, when Donald Trump said “…tax China…25% on imports, Mark Levin’s comment was right on point. What does Donald think the Chinese Government will do to the U.S.? Come on Donald.

    I don’t usually agree with Mark Levin, but this time, I think he is absolutely right for showing his outrage with Donald Trump.

    Trump is constanly bragging about how much money he has when all he did to get this money was be born and wait for his father to pass away. I agree though people need to wake up and take a class or two in American History before they vote!

  • azgrandma

    Yeah levin – add him to the list along with sarah.

  • http://www.snowspot.net Snowspot

    Call me an asshole.. but I find this trump thing hilarious, I love watching all this… I hope he gets the nomination, or at least makes a huge dent in the election, GO TRUMP!!!

  • http://www.snowspot.net Snowspot

    The other thing is… I don’t think trump will give up so easy, he won’t be made to look like a fool, so he’s going to take out Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin… all the other Republicans. He doesn’t do it halfway, he’ll obliterate them, then most likely HE will be obliterated by the GOP and won’t get the nomination and will have to retire in embarrassment. I hope not though, even though he’s obviously talking out of his ass worse than Sarah Palin, if that’s even possible.

    I have neveronce in my life ever tuned in to a Levin program. I don’t even know what channel he is on. I just here others speak of him and once I heard a clip of him on Hannity’s show referring to himself as the great one.

    I speak for me, myself and I exclusively. You’ve somehow confused me for one of you and the other, never had an original thought in my life, parrots. By the way do you prefer Ritz or Saltines you Polly you?

    I’m surprised you’re pushing for Trump because Trump is Obama’s worst nightmare. You don’t get to be billionaire without being very smart. Just look at the Trump Tower that place is amazing.

  • Tedderman

    Lets just presume this was a rhetorical question and leave it at that so we don’t have to watch the clip of this guys show.

  • Jelperman

    Levin sounds like Michael “Savage” Wiener after a botched vasectomy.

  • MTinMO

    Ask some of the people Trumpet cheated out of their money about how good of a businessman Trumpet is. Bet they all have opinions you probably couldn’t print on here since he has screwed them so badly. His bankruptcies left a lot of people holding the bag while he kept his lifestyle and left them in tatters. When it gets tough- Trumpet files for bankruptcy! I can’t stand to listen anymore to Trump trumpeting his trumped up qualifications.

  • eingriff

    Next to Levin, everybody sounds stupid,
