United States News Title: Trump: Country's Going to Hell in a Handbasket and Obama's 'Constantly on Vacation' GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Tonight, Donald Trump takes to Twitter! He slams the president. DONALD TRUMP goes "On the Record" right now. DONALD TRUMP, TRUMP ORGANIZATION: Thank you. VAN SUSTEREN: I wanted to talk to you about the recent news about Pakistan and China. But first I want to ask you about your tweet. I can't resist. A recent tweet from you, on your Twitter account, says, Barack Obama played golf yesterday, now he heads to a 10-day vacation in Martha's Vineyard, nice work ethic. TRUMP: Well, the fact is, he takes more vacations than any human being I've ever seen. They used to complain about George Bush, but I understand he's already exceeded George Bush and we're not even through the year. So he likes vacation. VAN SUSTEREN: What does -- I mean, obviously, that doesn't sound a -- send a good message if, indeed, the American people think that he likes a, quote, "vacation." TRUMP: Well, I mean, it sends a bad message. Here we have a country that really is going to hell in a handbasket. Let's not kid ourselves. What's happening to this country is horrible. All over the world, they're talking about it. And we have a president that's constantly -- whether it's Martha's Vineyard or someplace else, constantly on vacation. I mean, all the time he's on vacation! So I think it sends a very, very bad message. We have to work in this country to bring it back. VAN SUSTEREN: Does he get any credit from you on the fact that right now, he's on a tour around three states, in Minnesota, he landed today. He's going to Iowa, Illinois to -- apparently not to layout a financial plan but to listen to what people have to say? TRUMP: Well, it's also a fund-raising tour. And he's trying to raise funds. In the meantime, he's using a beautiful Boeing 747 as the aircraft that -- you know, the aircraft of choice. And I think it's pretty sad where the taxpayer is paying for his trips to raise money because, really, what he's doing is fundraiser. And what he's been doing really quite well is raising funds, although inconceivable that people are putting up money. I just -- it's hard to believe that people are actually putting up money to get him reelected. VAN SUSTEREN: All right, if this is a campaign matter, the American people shouldn't pay for it. If it's official White House business, taxpayers should pay for it. TRUMP: Well, I guess that's different. But basically, it's campaign. He's going to campaign and say what a wonderful job he's doing as president. I can't imagine that anybody believes that, necessarily. But he's using Air Force One. He's using a Boeing 747, the most expensive plane you can fly, just about. And why isn't his campaign paying for this? Really, why doesn't his campaign pay for a Boeing 747? I think it's very unfair. VAN SUSTEREN: All right, well, on the trip, he's been asked about whether or not -- he's given a lot of speeches, but one of the big questions is whether the members of Congress should be called back to Washington. And today he said -- this is a quote from his -- one of his speeches today, "It's time for the games to stop. Some folks were asking me, Well, why don't you call Congress back? And I said I don't think it'll make people feel real encouraged that we have Congress come back and all they're doing is arguing again." TRUMP: Well, I think that's all leadership. They wouldn't be arguing if we had the proper leader. And we should have Congress come back. I also heard him say he wants the Congress to go and talk to their people so when they come back, they know what to say and how do people feel. They know what to say! They don't have to spend a month-and-a-half and two months at home with their people. They know already. They know without spending any time. The country needs leadership. We're not getting that leadership from President Obama. VAN SUSTEREN: Is there anything that he's doing right now about being a leader that you agree with? TRUMP: Well, I mean, the only thing I can give him credit for is campaigning. He's a good campaigner, not a great campaigner because Hillary almost beat him, frankly, after a big lead. But he's a good campaigner. He's a good fund-raiser. And I give him credit for that. As far as leading the country, I mean, the country is being led into oblivion. VAN SUSTEREN: All right, now the other issue that I wanted to talk to you about, and that's the news breaking over the weekend that when Usama bin Laden was killed on May 2nd, that of course, we had a disabled stealth helicopter left behind, and now the news that Pakistan let China look at the stealth helicopter and presumably will do reverse engineering and now they're light-years ahead in their technologies from us. TRUMP: Well, it's not hard to believe because, again, it's leadership. I mean, we allow countries to take advantage, whether it's OPEC, OPEC nations, whether it's China, certainly Pakistan. But you look at Pakistan -- we give them hundreds of billions of dollars. They do nothing for us. You look at China, they're ripping us like nobody has ever ripped us before, other than, of course, OPEC. The OPEC nations are really doing a number. So I mean, oil should right now, with this bad economy, be at $30 a barrel. It's at close to $90. I mean, it should be at $30. If the free market were there, if these didn't sit around a table, oil would right now be at $30 a barrel, which is what it should be, and it's at -- it will soon be over $90. And by the way, if it goes unchecked, it'll be up to $100 and $110, and here we go again. And you know, part of the problem the country has -- every time we start to make a little progress, the OPEC guys sit around the table and they say, Oh, they're making a little money, let's take it from them. So they raise the price of fuel. It's such a big factor. They raise the price of fuel. So we have to do something. We need people that know what they're doing. VAN SUSTEREN: All right, the helicopter -- obviously, we want our military to get out of there quickly when the helicopter was disabled on May 2nd. I mean, I don't know if they could have blown it up. I assume that that was considered and rejected and they got out of there. Leaving that helicopter, that stealth helicopter, behind was something, apparently, we had to do. But once it's left behind, is there anything, in your mind, we should have done to prevent the Pakistanis from showing the Chinese? TRUMP: Well, I think we should have had people over there. I think we should have called ahead the head of Pakistan and say, We don't want anyone seeing that helicopter. Too bad. I guess it hit the back, the back hit a wall. It's too bad that happened to -- you know, too bad it happened. But certainly, we should have let Pakistan know that we don't want anyone looking, whether it's them or China. But what's happened, and from a friend of mine who's very good at this stuff -- he tells me that we spent billions of dollars on this stealth technology, and China gets it for nothing. It's hard to believe. So Pakistan gave it to China. China, as usual, got it for a bargain price. The United States is the loser, as always. VAN SUSTEREN: Obviously, you don't think that President Obama is being a leader. Take a look at the Republican -- at least right now, the group that are running for president or still in the run. What -- who's got the leadership that you like, admire? TRUMP: Well, I know a lot of them. I know Michele Bachmann. She came to Trump Tower about a month ago. She was great. She was a wonderful person. I mean, we had a great time. I don't know if Sarah Palin's running. I really like her a lot. I mean, I think she's a very good woman. We had the famous pizza incident, where we had pizza and I was using a fork and... VAN SUSTEREN: What's the difference between the two for you? TRUMP: There's not that much difference. They're strong. They get unfairly maligned by the media. And I was watching this weekend on "Meet the Press" -- I watched Michele just get absolutely -- she was so badly treated on "Meet the Press." I watched that. VAN SUSTEREN: In what way? TRUMP: Just unfairly. I mean, the way the group went after her, it was so unfair. Michele was so unfairly treated. I've never seen -- I don't think I've seen anything like it. And that's what happens to Sarah Palin also. So... VAN SUSTEREN: And did Hillary Clinton... (CROSSTALK) TRUMP: I think Bachmann has done well. I don't think Hillary's treated the same way. I like Hillary, too. She's a friend of mine. I think that the way Ms. Bachmann's been treated, the way Ms. Palin's been treated -- I think they've been treated very, very unfairly by the press. VAN SUSTEREN: Why? TRUMP: I don't know. I mean, you ask me. They're conservative women. And I think that's probably why. VAN SUSTEREN: All right, now, take -- Governor Perry has now jumped in the race. Does that change the dynamics? And what do you think of him in terms of leadership? And I realize it's early on. There's a lot of information that we need to learn as the months go on. TRUMP: It's very early. I think that he is a good man. I've known him over the years. I spoke to him two days ago. He called me on something. I think he's really serious. I think he's going to do a good job. I think he's going to be a force. I don't actually know Romney. The one I don't know is Romney. But I think that -- I think that Perry's going to do a good job. VAN SUSTEREN: How come you don't know Romney? I mean... two more pages at FULL TEXT link Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest

Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.
