Trump Spends Tea Party Speech Telling Why He’d Be Great President

Posted by | January 20, 2015 13:00 | Filed under: Politics Top Stories


The Donald is once again pretending he’s seriously considering a run for the presidency, and spent the better part of a South Carolina speech to tea partiers extolling his virtues.

Trump spent most of his 30-minute keynote speech at the S.C. Tea Party Coalition Convention held at Springmaid Beach Resort on Monday afternoon saying that he is the best person to lead the country.

He told a room of about 800 people that he stands apart from others who have been mentioned as potential candidates for president.

“I can get things done,” he said. “I know how to do it.”

He spoke against former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who both have said they are considering running in 2016.

“I was right in 2012,” he said. “I said that I don’t see a strong candidate, but we had Mitt Romney and we went with Mitt Romney and he failed. He let us all down, to be honest with you. For him to be running again is outrageous.”

Trump pointed to what he said were former President George W. Bush’s shortcomings as reason why voters should stay away from Jeb Bush.

“The last thing this country needs is another Bush,” he said. “[George W.] Bush, he didn’t do so hot. You could have brought [Abraham] Lincoln back and he would have lost.”

Mr. Trump took credit for the success of the event, although it also featured Ted Cruz, Ben Carson and Rick Santorum.

He also said he thought he contributed to the convention selling out.

“Whenever I’ve gone to a Tea Party event, they’ve had a record turnout,” he said. “And again, this year they have sold out for the first time. … Maybe I’ll give credit to somebody else, but you know where it all comes from. I mean, this is the biggest turnout they’ve ever had.”

    I guess if you want a petty tyrant that thinks planes are being sent over his estate in some sort of vendetta, then he is your “man”.

    The ego on this guy.

    • Larry Schmitt January 20th, 2015 at 13:42

      The difference is, some actually think guinea pigs are cute. No one thinks the Donald is cute.

      That’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!

    He must be feeling left out this year. Or he figured the marketing ploy worked last time, why not do it again?

    This guy has outlived his shelf-life. He just hasn’t realized it, and his friends (if any) don’t have the nerve to tell him.

    • tracey marie January 20th, 2015 at 20:17

      remember how his kids held an intervention, they told him to sit down and shut up.

    He’s not seriously thinking of running. I think he knows he has no chance of winning. He’s merely trying to remain relevant and is just garnering for attention – again.
