Trump: We Should Spend Next Few Days ‘Not Debating Party Politics’

» 16 comments

Potential Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been a persistent pain in President Obama’s side over many issues, but even Trump was eager to praise Obama’s success in capturing and killing Osama bin Laden. Trump also expressed a desire to refrain from “party politics” during this proud time in American history.

In a statement made public on Trump’s Facebook page, Trump declared:

“I want to personally congratulate President Obama and the men women of the Armed Forces for a job very well done. I am so proud to see Americans standing shoulder to shoulder, waving the American flag in celebration of this great victory. We should spend the next several days not debating party politics, but in remembrance of those who lost their lives on 9/11 and those fighting for our freedom. God Bless America.”

Given the near universal praise for Obama’s success here, it seems like a smart strategy for potential Republican rivals to steer clear from engaging in any political squabble over the next few days. Yet when the time comes to challenge the President again on other issues, it’s likely Trump would be the one not afraid to lead the charge.

    Trump advises that we step back from party politics.

    Mediaite disagrees and uses the occasion as a chance to attack Trump.

    Now who is taking the high road here, and who is taking the low road?

    Then again, it is hard for Mediaite writers to refrain from attacking Trump, since that seems to be the only kind of story their editor wants to publish.

    Any time Trump can avoid debate works very well for him.

    Any article that’s remotely about Trump is going to be perceived as an “attack” because Trump is a complete ass hat. He proposes nothing except tearing down Obama and “Just Saying ‘No’” to OPEC and China, which will totally work. Not to mention that the guy is a narcissistic clown with an ego the size of New Jersey. It’s all about Trump; just ask him.

    How many billion dollar deals have you negotiated? That’s what I thought…LMAO

    My comment wasn’t about me; it was about Trump, and it stands. I don’t care if he can sell snow to Eskimos; he’s not very intelligent and will get destroyed in a debate.

    Trump took a page right out of Baraq’s playbook. President Trump will stay above the frey while the conservatives, ” FOX NEWS “, the bloggers and me hammer away at just what a piece of socialistic ______ Baraq truly is. Good thinking Don, way to keep on your toes while keeping that Obama character on the run.

    GOD BLESS SEAL TEAM SIX

    Well said my friend from across the isle. This operation couldn’t of been executed better. I’m so glad we didn’t send in the bombs to destroy the complex, it wasn’t good enough for him. OBL deserved to meet some pissed off, badass Americans, face to face and eye ball to eye ball, right before his head was blown off. A huge thanks goes out to those brave, courageous and heroic American soldiers for pulling this off. Thanks to everyone involved, from the bottom to the top, for dealing justice the right way.

    Trump needs a couple of days to groom the fox lying on his head.
