mikkey 0 #1 July 13, 2004 Interesting article I found down here. Is that a sign that Bush is loosing support in the part of the business community that does not have Iraq or military contracts? Quote Donald Trump to President Bush: You're fired! The billionaire host of NBC's The Apprentice has weighed in on the Bush administration's decision to invade Iraq, terming it a "brutal mistake" that would "make it very hard for Bush to get re-elected". Trump's numerous development projects have been crimped by the war. "You can't get concrete. You can't get steel. You can't get anything in this country," he said. "You know where all our steel's going? It's going to Iraq, because we're rebuilding Iraq." Trump made the comments last night at the NBC-owned Universal Studios amusement park, where the network threw a party for television critics and the stars of its new and returning series. The Apprentice became NBC's biggest hit last season, with Trump emerging as an even bigger celebrity than he had been. "Look, the war is a disaster. The war should not have been entered into," he told The Dallas Morning News while his fiancee, Melania Knauss, looked on. "To lose all of those thousands and thousands of people, on our side and their side. I mean, you have Iraqi kids, not only our soldiers, walking around with no legs, no arms, no faces. All for no reason. It is a disgrace." The Bush campaign declined to comment but noted that the president in a speech today had forcefully defended his decision to go to war. Trump has contributed $US2,000 ($A2,760) each to President Bush's and Democrat John Kerry's campaigns, according to http://www.fundrace.org. But he said that events in Iraq had soured him on the current administration. "No matter how much you hate Saddam Hussein, and obviously he was a horror show, he kept terrorists out of Iraq," Trump said. - KRT --------------------------------------------------------- When people look like ants - pull.

sundevil777 102 #6 July 13, 2004 Trump is pretty selfish. apparently the availability/price of building materials is a primary criteria on the wisdom of invading Iraq to him: Quote"You can't get concrete. You can't get steel. You can't get anything in this country," he said. "You know where all our steel's going? It's going to Iraq, because we're rebuilding Iraq." Quote"No matter how much you hate Saddam Hussein, and obviously he was a horror show, he kept terrorists out of Iraq," Trump said. Why do you think that SH, according to Trump, suppossedly keeping terrorists out of Iraq, so important above everything else? Iraq was a safe haven for some notable terrorists, and he bragged about his payments to suicide bombers. Ego out of control.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOMoFoL!!! Trump is a putz. Is there any argument there? The funniest thing on t.v. lately is Conan O'Brien, nightly, ruffling his hair, putting on this weird grimace, and strutting up to put his face in the camera before saying, "Yuh fiy-ud!" I love it!

You're right, and the quote from Bush says the same. But Bush is up for reelection, Clinton is not. So we only have to worry about keeping one of them out of power.

peacefuljeffrey 0 #15 July 13, 2004 Are you saying that it is generally accepted that Bush made that statement in earnest? I find that extremely hard to believe. Are you sure it wasn't tongue-in-cheek? You seem to be implying that it indicates a real danger, a real intent to make himself dictator! I utterly doubt it amounts to that. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #16 July 13, 2004 Well, not the only time he said it... "You don't get everything you want. A dictatorship would be a lot easier." Referring to governing Texas (Begala Is our Children Learning? citing Governing July 1998) A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it." Referring to governing the United States, July 26, 2001 "It's not a dictatorship in Washington, but I tried to make it one in that instance." Describing his executive order making faith-based groups eligible for federal subsidies, New Orleans, Louisiana, Jan. 15, 2004 "I'm a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign policy matters with war on my mind." On NBC's "Meet the Press", Feb. 8, 2004 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
