The EU really needs to pull together and offer political asylum to anyone who voted for Sanders if this idiot becomes the US's next President.

Our options could actually be 2 70 year old moronic idiotic white guys. What a country.

I'm learning a lot from Donald Trump during this campaign. What I've learned most of all is that the general populous is now so used to the American Idol/X Factor/America's Next Top Model way of doing things, that infamy itself is more important than depth. E.g. The winner of any public contest won't be the candidate that says the best things, it'll be the one who's heard the most.

And in Trump's case I'm convinced he purposely says controversial things just for the publicity.

You did not learn that with Obama's election? You were not paying attention.

He became a billionaire starting with money and contacts from his father. Four business bankruptcies. Many business failures (bogus university, casinos, hotels, random products lines, etc). If he had simply invested his seed money into a basic stock fund he would have the same amount of money. He's running for his ego. Period. Notice how he refer's to Bush's "reign"? Trump wants to be king. It's the only thing he thinks he hasn't accomplished yet.

All of his speeches are simply a stream of consciousness. He's a Wall Street rapper.


On topic, MSNBC showed his merchandise table at the event where he called for a boycott and they are using iPads as cash registers LOL

I assume you are much smarter than Trump?

So how many Billions do you have?

So he supports a Korean company over an American company!!! How unpatriotic of him, should be banned from being president. Seriously though, whoever is voting for his guy must have a super low IQ, can't ink of any other reason someone would vote for this idiot!

Trump has to be the worst presidential candidate that has made it this far my entire voting life (23 years). At first I thought he could control himself but this guy is just too much. Who is he going to offend, sue or boycott next week?

It's one thing to be business smart but it's another thing to have common sense. Just because you're rich does not make him a better person than someone making a modest living. Even the Pope is attacking the dude.

People don't get it.
Trump is great at publicity, and he manages to even include himself in the Apple debacle.
Even better, this will attract some of the democrats and Obama supporters that are all in behind safety and FBI's claim because now Trump seems to be on their side as well.

If nothing else, it keeps Trump into the discussions, and people, regardless if they love or hate him, they cannot ignore him. Simple as that. Trump knows what Americans love for entertainment. Loudness, drama, in short, entertainment.

Entertainment never ran a country very far.

Simple market demand. If American people didn't like Trump or the way he did his PR, he wouldn't even be in the spotlight. America = Hollywood + Reality TV, and Trump delivers. Running the country is irrelevant. Heck, look at the previous ones. Any of them ran the country well? :D

Having billions is not a measure of intelligence...you could, like Donald, inherit most of your money, and invest your inheritance into a mutual fund in the S&P 500. In fact, had Trump done that back in the 1970s, he'd be worth FAR more than he claims he's worth. Check out Forbes.

That's right. Donald...has lost a lot of money through the years. A shame that's a glaring problem with his business acumen.

People just wanted something different for a change. At this point it's a "who cares, what harm can really be done in 4 years. Lets see what happens.

I agree. People _do_ want real change.

What harm can be done?

Nothing as bad as the current social degenerate has done. Spending like a crazy person, the current "leader" has blown through more money than any of his predecessors. With complete disregard and outright contempt for law and order, he's like a errant child spitting out his food.

The next one, if Trump, will ensure the entire government and God knows who knows more about you and your family than you yourself know about each other and can piece together every little move you make, snoop in on every little text you send to your loved one, your loved one sends to you. But yeah, it probably won't be as bad to you as the "current social degenerate has done".

I agree with Donald Trump. I want to see what he's hiding in his iPHONEY. Maybe he is the leader of ISIS.

Interesting perspective ...

What a way to upset a lot of potential voters. Call for a boycott on a company that millions of people use everyday

Not really. This is not only a PR scheme to remain in the post light regardless what's going on, it's a way to play with the psyche of Obama supporters. Trump basically is saying "Hey, I'm on the side of your current guy on this thing, so what do you have to say now?"
 
I've enjoyed his polarizing antics to a degree in some instances, in others he just shocks and frightens me. Still not sure if I'd prefer HRC over him though.
