Mike Huckabee: Obama Should Replace Timothy Geithner With Donald Trump

video
» 100 comments

How’s this for thinking outside the box? Mike Huckabee visited the cast of Fox & Friends this morning to talk about the disastrous economic downturn the nation took yesterday as its credit rating sank, and had a suggestion or two for replacing one of those upon whose shoulders lay the most blame: Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Paramount among those? Donald Trump, who he suggested should be given 90 days to turn the economy around.

“He needs to go and President Obama needs to have him walk the plank,” Huckabee said unequivocally of Geithner, not just because of the S&P downgrade, but because “in politics, optics is everything.” According to Huckabee, the President currently “needs to give a sense of taking command” against “a progressive state of decay in the economy,” and changing figureheads is a quick and easy way to make the American public feel that he is doing so. He added that he did not think there would be major changes in policy as a result.

The Fox & Friends crew then wondered, if Geithner needed to be removed, who Huckabee would like to see in his stead. Huckabee was lukewarm at best about Jon Corzine, the former Goldman Sachs CEO and New Jersey governor whose name is being thrown around as a potential replacement, but he added that “President Obama would never pick someone that I would love to see there.” The sort of person Huckabee would like to see? “A true conservative– get Steve Forbes; ask Donald Trump to be Treasury Secretary.” Arguing that the President “needs a game-changer,” Huckabee suggested Trump should take the job for “90 days,” just to see the dramatic change the nation’s economy policy would take.

The Fox & Friends hosts asked Trump on air– who has his own Monday appointment with the program scheduled weekly– to call in and opine. And knowing Trump, he’s not one to stay quiet for too long.

    This becomes hillarious :D

    I think Huckabee is wrong about Trump, but Geithner definitely does need to be replace. Obama’s loyalty to Geithner is inexcusable considering his disastrous track record.

    Nacho, everything I’ve ever said about Trump on this site has been proven true.  And I’ve probably posted more than 200 comments about his political prospects, his chances for nomination, his birther views, etc.

    I wish I could say the same for you and your liberal cronies.  I lost count of the number of liberals who assured me that Trump would get the Republican nomination.  And who told me that next year’s election would boil down to the existence of a piece of paper in Hawaii.  What a laugher, huh?  Who could have been so stupid as to fall for that?

    So if I were you, I would be embarrassed to bring up this past history…which is all a matter of record for everyone to see in the online archives of this site.

    Huckabee has finally went over the edge. He is now right up there with Ann Coulter just saying things to get publicity whether they make any sense at all. You can now see his true colors. He is a huckster. He does not care about the country. He only wants to keep his name in front of people. So now he is saying the most inane things. Yes, let’s put a guy in charge who has had at least 3 bankruptcy and has screwed over most of the contractors whoever worked for him. Yea, baby that the guy we need in charge of this economy!!!

    Huckabee is playing his audience.  There isn’t a Republican candidate in the mix who would name Donald Trump as Treasury Secretary if he or she were to win in Nov ’12.  So why would Huckabee even toss out such an absurd, guaranteed-to-go-nowhere idea?   

    I think he does it for job security.   He has to keep himself entertaining to the Fox viewers.  He has to provide the teanderthals with something edumicated to discuss during the upcoming Depends, Lipitor, and Metamuccil commercials.  And what’s more edumicated than talk of that economics thing going on? 

    Well, what’d'ya think there, Gladys?  You never liked Trump, did you?  Or was that his wife?

    ‘No risk’ the US will lose its top credit rating, says Treasury’s Geithner
    By Michael O’Brien – 04/19/11 10:33 AM ET
    Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said Tuesday there is “no risk” the U.S. will lose its top credit rating amid a new analysis that revised its outlook on American debt to “negative.”

  • Anonymous

    Its interesting how you perceived all that.

    Maybe you should go back and look at those archives.  The only people that took Trump seriously were the people that liked what he said; you know, the nutjobs that he was pandering to?  Those weren’t “the libs”  You put down Mediaite and his views until a few days ago until he finally hit your pander button, then you agreed with him and he wasn’t worthy of you dismissing him that time.

    I noticed finger pointing, snickering and mocking of the people that bought Trump’s BS.

    and you crying about him, that is until you bought his dem on dem spiel.

    The record is absolutely crystal clear on this.  Earlier this year, I posted countless comments on Mediaite claiming that Trump had no chance of getting the nomination, and that the birth certificate was not a real issue.  And I got constantly attacked — and everyone attacking my view was a progressive liberal.  Let me repeat, every single person who disagreed with me — blathering on about the significance of Trump and birth certificate was a leftwinger.  You were part of this stupid Trump feeding frenzy, as you well know.

    All this is all amply documented. 

    Face it, the Left looks stupid for obsessing on Trump and wasting time on birther nonsense.  The liberal media could have used that time to develop a robust plan for jobs and the economy.  Instead, your liberal heroes — Maddow, Maher, Stewart, O’Donnell, Matthews and the rest — blabbered on and on about a total non-issue.  Mediaite ran more articles about Trump and birth certificates than any other issue during this entire year.   An embarrassing moment for the left, wasn’t it?

    You’re delusional.  The only commenters on mediaite that praised Trump and took him a half bit serious were the Obama haters, because anybody that hates on Obama is their friend too.

    Any “leftwinger” that rooted on Trump was because he is a joke and he made the “rightwingers” look like even bigger jokes.  Trump led the polls on the right and it was hilarious.

    Look who still gives Trump a shit load of air time.  Your heroes at FoxNews, who are always the joke.

    Like I said, go back and reaccess your documented theory.

    My first reaction or, “comment.”

    There is merit to Huckabee’s suggestion, as Trump could NOT serve in any cabinet post that is “subordinate.”  Trump will always be the boss and his psych profile would not accommodate, having a Boss.

    That being said, “Secretary of the Treasury” has autonomy and authority that other positions lack.  Trump would be working with his President, and for the American people.  I believe the adulation of a job well done would motivate Trump.  ”Failure is not an option.”

    Anyway, my first reaction is Huckabee’s suggestion, indeed, has merit.  We need a businessman to repair what is in actuality, a Nation that was built on business and free enterprise.

  • Smbailey

    How many times has Donald Trump or his businesses filed for bankruptcy protection??  He’s not a business tycoon, he’s a spoiled rich kid — his father, who was a developer, set him up in business — who makes his money by PRETENDING TO BE A BUSINESS TYCOON.  The man’s a fraud.  You might recall that he ended his so-called presidential campaign without declaring his net worth.  If his real worth were made public, everyone would see him for what he is.  The idea that Huckabee would turn Treasury over to this charlatan just shows what a super-lightweight Huckabee is.

    by president and the data is quite an eye opener. Republicans may say they are
    fiscal responsible but history does *not* lie.

    But, the larger problems is that it’s not about the public at all.  On the Hill the conversation, though in unspoken words, is all about money, the new realpolitik.  They are people with money who respect people with money whether or not they have merit otherwise.  And, since you mention it, a majority are also ‘spoiled rich kids,’ for whom ‘work ethic’ must mean the worship of financial gain, at whatever cost. It has nothing to do with “society,” the people, the country, or reality, for that matter.

  • http://www.facebook.com/bobbydigits Robert B. Singleton

    Ask Trump for help doing what?  The first thing that will come into Trump’s mind is “What’s in it for me?”  Trump calls himself a “genius,” with a record of business failures, and liabilities discharged through court proceedings to prove it.  Trump is not of the people, by the people, or for the people.

    Hmmm … Trump did say this, so if he is a man of his word … why not!

    “The plan I am proposing today does not involve smoke and mirrors, phony numbers, financial gimmicks, or the usual economic chicanery you usually find in DisneylandonthePotomac,” Trump said.

    Trump is proposing a onetime net worth tax on individuals and trusts worth 10 million or more. By Trumps calculations, his proposed 14.25 percent levy on such net worth would raise 5.7 trillion and wipe out the debt in one full swoop.

    I would exempt the value of an individual’s principal home from the net worth total.  “By my calculations, 1 percent of Americans, who control 90 percent of the wealth in this country, would be affected by my plan,” Trump said.

    “The other 99 percent of the people would get deep reductions in their federal income taxes,” he said.Eliminating the national debt would save the federal government 200 billion a year in interest payments, Trump said. He proposes to earmark half the savings for middle class tax cuts, and the other half for Social Security.
