Trump endorses… McCain

September 18, 2008 by Media Lizzy

After donating money to Hillary Clinton in the primary, Donald Trump has endorsed John McCain - making it public on Larry King Live tonight on CNN. I’m not sure how many folks watched, or care. But it’s interesting in any case.

TRUMP to LK: “I know John McCain, and John McCain’s a great guy, a tremendous guy,” Trump told King. “I’ve known him for a long time. And I’m with him, and I’m with him based on the fact that I have great knowledge of John McCain. Also, this is not the right time for tax increases. And Obama wants to increase your taxes drastically.”

Gee, another loser anyway jumping ship. Trump is a loser and no one cares that he went to McCain. You really think when all the shit about Palin starts coming out he's going to feel like an ass just like the rest? You can bet on it

You guys are such tools.

If the headline had been "Donald Trump Moves From McCain to Obama" you mental midgets would have been crowing: "See? Trump is a savvy businessman and knows Obama is better for the economy .... yadda yadda"

Piss ants is what you are. And transparent as Saran wrap.

B Hussein Obama's "tax plan" includes raising the maximum income tax rate from 35% to 40%, lifting the social security cap, another 15% subject to tax. So in effect if you live in a high tax state like California with a 10% rate you are facing a 65% effective incremetal tax rate. You dont need to be D Trump to figure out that is a recipe for disaster. He also wants to raise the current capital gains rate, currently 15%. He also promises reducing taxes for 95% of taxpayers. This makes no sense because currently 40% pay zero federal income taxes, so how do you reduce zero taxed paid? Answer, a "back door" welfare plan which will only encourage a bigger culture of entitlement.

Obama is a Socialist/Fascist with communist overtones! He is NOT hiding his agenda...he is TELLING you what he wants to do! He wants a total re-distribution of wealth.

I am not a rich man like Trump, but I have worked hard, used my creative talent, and I now enjoy a beautiful life...great house, great family, and financial security for the rest of my life! But I PLANNED, SAVED, SACRIFICED, AND ACHIEVED SUCCESS WITHOUT EVER TAKING A PENNY FROM THE GOV.!

Only those of you who are abject losers in life would support this black Socialist. Only YOU would want people like myself to support you!

Well, I've got news for you...I'm NOT supporting ANY of you! And neither is John McCain!!!

Screw the Mexican third worlders and the lazy black bums! You are NOT my problem, and I will NOT support you!

Don't be silly. Billionaires don't feel stupid over things like Sarah Palin.

They should be embarrassed, but guess what -- at the end of the day, they're billionaires and couldn't care less what average Americans think about them.

They are in their hot tubs in one of their multiple houses funded by tax breaks that Republicans have been giving them, just hoping that no Democrat gets in there and makes them (instead of us) actually have to pay taxes on some of their "projects", much less worry about their income taxes. They have bigger tax breaks to dwell on them.

Like how many jobs can they ship off to another country because if they do, they get some convoluted tax break that was created for them and other huge campaign donors. Important business stuff, you know what I mean.

More than likely though, the real truth about Trump is he carefully weighed the chick options and decided to go for Cindy and Sarah. He likes both blondes and young ones. Because he's a billionaire and therefore, can have them.

Don't talk for me big guy at 9:42.

I have a great house, a great wife and family, and a job that pays above average in the private sector. I won't be eating cat food when I'm older or living in government subsidized apartments but I won't be joining any country clubs nor purchasing vacation homes either. The harder I work, the better my bonuses are.

The only difference between you and I is, perhaps we were raised with different values but I don't mind paying a little bit more as I make more money to pay for the poor and homeless. I know that each of them has a story and although I might not care to hear about the details, I do care enough to pick up part of their tab in times of need. I have a heart. You don't. That's okay. What I don't understand is why you think that people like Trump should not have to pay higher taxes than someone only making say... a million a year?

Do you believe that ANY business who comes to a town anywhere in the U.S. and provides jobs should be exempt from paying as much taxes because they've made a deal with the local or state politicians?

For example, I believe in tax incentives to get businesses to come here, but I don't believe in the process the way it's conducted here in Los Angeles (set up before it was all Democrat-run by the way). I also think that the citizens of the city should never have to pay for the construction of a project that the "chosen" developer decides to build.

Republicans are the good ole boy network and now you've shown me that they also dislike "lazy" immigrants and blacks.

Have fun in your "great" house tonight. Look out at your mountain view while you are having a cocktail..

If you are lucky, your wife will come to the door dressed in saran wrap only (my wife did that once, but we are transparent people) and you can go off and not even think about the WHITE kids who are living in their minivans because their parents have been evicted from their average neighborhood home because the owner of the house filed for bankruptcy without ever telling the tenants. And if you don't think those people are out there, you're not living in the real world. After all, if their parents had been as creative as you and then worked as hard, they would have been homeowners and not tenants, so I guess it's not for you to worry about.

Here's to the tax break you'll get if you make more than $200K and McCain wins. I worry more about the people who make $25K - $199K because that is where 90% of the population is.

So, just call me a whining liberal. I don't mind at all.

Trump is among the first, but won't be the last.

The Democratic Party's largest contributor will be announcing his endorsementof John McCain and will be putting his money where his mouth is.

Funny, he thinks Obama is an empty suit; wonder where he got that idea.
