Trump to GOP: Force U.S. default to make sure Obama isn't re-elected
Conservative real estate titan Donald Trump told Fox News Monday that Republicans should make sure President Barack Obama isn't re-elected by refusing any comprehensive deal to raise the debt ceiling, even going so far as to suggest that the country should be allowed to default on its debts.
"Obama doesn't want the six-month extension because that almost ensures he doesn't get re-elected," Trump told Fox & Friends hosts Steve Doocy, Gretchen Carlson and Brian Kilmeade. "I think, frankly, the Republicans would be crazy, unless they get 100 percent of the deal that they want right now, to make any deal."
"The fact is that unless Republicans get 100 percent of what they want -- and that may include getting rid of Obamacare which is a total disaster -- they should not make a deal other than a minor extension which would take you before the elections which would ensure that Obama doesn't get elected, which would be a great thing."
"If you look at the average American when they’re polled, it seems the President of the United States gets less of the blame than Republicans do, but you see Republicans with maximum leverage," Kilmeade observed.
"Absolutely. The Republicans have the leverage. I don't care about polls. When it comes time to default, they're not going to remember any of the Republicans' names. They are going to remember in history books one name, and that's Obama," Trump opined.
Surprisingly/sickeningly I sort of agree with Trump on one of his points.. we have a nasty habit to assume that if GOP destroy the country, of course US citizens will be well informed enough to pick apart the fog, the failure of the media, and the he-said/she-said debates and know who exactly was responsible.
I'm not so optimistic. I think most Americans have no idea what's going on.. I can testify to this, I had to spend the entire pre-Firework show last week explaining to my parents and their friends (fairly intelligent people) what the debt ceiling is.
Now if they had no idea what the debt ceiling is, do you think they'll know who to blame if their retirement age is raised? If their social security and medicare are cut? If the US ends up defaulting on it's loan? I don't.
So, I agree with Trump. GOP -can- destroy the entire country and not get blamed for it, as he admits. He must be very proud, by the way.
As a real estate mogul, Trump sees opportunity in snapping up a lot of prize properties for a song if we Default on the Debt, Add to that, his ability to raise the rent of his tenants, and it's no surprise he doesn't fear a Default (even pushing for it.)

We all know that's the conservatives real intentions but you're not suppose to be saying it out loud.
is intended to be a factual statement
I was just at the gym and an unoccupied elliptical had Fox News on. The chyron said something like:
"GOP: Obama not worried about debt, only re-election"
Yet here we are, where theme on Fox is how Republicans should just worry about screwing Obama. Who is really playing games with politics here? Doesn't sound like Obama.
...worried about reelection. As long as they signed the norquist pledge, don't raise taxes, cut ss benefits and make sure obama is a one term president, they'll all be reelected.
We seem to be very good at not voting for our best interests; we vote for hope and change, we get obama. We voted and bush was appointed. Why would anyone worry about reelection? republican'ts get reelected; democrats get trashed if they do get elected.

Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
"As long as they signed the norquist pledge, don't raise taxes, cut ss benefits and make sure obama is a one term president, they'll all be reelected."
Umm no, as long as they do that they won't primaried against. This fools won't come anywhere close to sniffing a general election win.
Those with short memories will blame it on Obama for what they think he did.
Those with long memories will blame it on Obama for what they know he didn't do.
Then the herd mentality will kick in.

My late dad was pretty much a rah-rah Republican most of his life. Despite our differences, I credit him for always having pride in this country (often ignoring some of it faults, but...). He wouldn't stand for how today's 'Thugs will do anything to place party before country. Disgraceful.

is again showing what a dirty player he is, an underhanded scheming sleaze bag who cares more about getting Obama out of office than he does our country. This man is a swineherd, blundering and scheming his way through life, a phony plastic creep with the morals of pig. I think he is an unpatriotic greedy opportunist who should not interfere with people who are trying to do an honest and honorable job, something Trump knows nothing about.

The headline does not match what this turd actually said. The quote is:
The fact is that unless Republicans get 100 percent of what they want -- and that may include getting rid of Obamacare which is a total disaster -- they should not make a deal other than a minor extension which would take you before the elections which would ensure that Obama doesn't get elected, which would be a great thing.
The way I read it he is saying only give a minor extension to push this until next year, as opposed to the headline of " Force US default to make sure Obama is not re-elected".
so we can go through this charade all over again. This is what Congress should devote all its time to - arguing over a debt ceiling increase.
...how many times has he gone bankrupt? A total tool.

it is considered a business strategy.
When the average guy does it it is considered yet another abuse by those shifty- deadbeat entitlement takers and by the lazy unemployed (mostly liberal) losers- who got too greedy for their own good and should have never been granted credit.
They probably lied to get the credit in the first place and it's the banks who are the victims of fraud.

Bankruptcy is part of his business plan. Four times, IIRC.

All bankruptcy is is not paying your debts. He can hide real estate in other people's names and numbered companies.
far left loon >.<
due to catastrophic illness. He uses Chapter 11 for restructuring loan payments and lowering interest rates on his loans. One bnky is unfortunate, 2 is stupidity and 3 times+ is a business plan.
And his private wealth is protected. Chapter 11 is bnky for organisations to get a new plan, Chap 13 is for individuals to restructure, and chapter 7 is liquidation and dismissal of debt, after assets have been applied to the debt.
me-oww!
So Trump is actually one of those deadbeats the right hates. But, when the super-rich do it it's a genius business strategy.
That's why they say if you owe $100,000 the bank owns you, but if you owe $10,000,000 you own the bank. Just threaten bankruptcy and offer to pay only pennies on the dollar.
far left loon >.<
He figures it will work for the Country to default as well. What a knob.
And he bankrupted a casino in one of those trips to the court.
How stupid do you have to be to bankrupt a casino? He owned the odds; the money was flowing in. And he screwed the pooch. That is a sign of shear stupidity.
Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
Traitors, literally. They would rather see the country default with attendant economic and social devastation than face Obama in a fair election. Is there any doubt in any mind that if there was a foreign right wing power opposed to Obama Trump and Brian Kilmeade would spy for them. Doocy is simply a fool but these guys are traitors.

Trump knows SO much about politics and political reality.
In fact, if the GOPutzes keep going, Obama will be elected as many times as he wants to be. Too bad poor old Donald Dork didn't stay in the race to make the election results even more spectacularly one-sided.
Why would anyone listen to this loser clown?
that's why.
me-oww!
No one knows how to profit off defaulting like Trump.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.

Forcing economic depression has been the GOP plan ever since Obama's election.
Trump does us a favor by reminding us of this.

...did you come up with that one all by yourself? How clever of you! Nobody can put one over on you, can they? Trouble is, according to damn near every poll in the land I've read a large majority of the American population are already blaming it on the Republicans. FAIL!

Republicans want their 100%....as if they have any clues which way back to that road to greatness....

OK, we heard from Trump. Finally! Now we can just move on.
Obama should just say F-U. Invoke the 14th or whatever power he has to raise the debt ceiling now. He can claim he averted disaster and we can get our politicians in DC working on something important again....hahaha!! I almost said that with a straight face.
...loyal to ideology and party first and to the nation sec- ...when they get to be in total control of it.
And these are the people who scream that we're traitors who want to destroy America.

WHAT A SHOCK MORE BOVINE EXCREMENT FROM FAUXSNOOZE & THE MASTER CARNIVAL BARKER
You guys respect the repugnants waayyy too much on this site. Have fun, I'm out of here.
He could have gone hammer and tong after Bush policies like war crimes, torture, habeas corpus, 9/11 etc. and DESTROYED Republican credibility for a generation, but no, he just had to let them live another day for the so called good of the country. You reap what you sow. So eat it.
And how would doing those things have destroyed Republican credibility? Those who care about facts already know that the Republicans aren't credible. Those who are still Republicans don't care about whether the actions of the last regime were ethical. That's not Obama's fault. It's silly to just take a neener neener attitude to conditions in this country just because you are still feeling bitter about Bush getting away with war crimes. I'm pissed about what the last POTUS got away with, but that doesn't mean I want to see things get even worse by allowing yet another Republican get elected President.
We have not been scuffling in this waste-howling wildness for the right to be stupid.
Toni Cade Bambara
It seems to me that Republican voters would be far better off if they stopped worrying so much about what other people are doing. Rather than taking care of themselves and their families, and voting for candidates who have their best interest at heart, they are so consumed with the fear that someone is getting some sort of handout that they aren't getting?
They are terrified that an illegal immigrant is drawing social security, or that someone who loses their job walks away from their mortgage because their house is worth less than the loan; or God forbid, they get some sort assistance from the government. We've all heard callers on C-Span railing about the family in front of them with a grocery cart full of food who pays with food stamps.
This isn't about eliminating the social safety nets; it's about someone who's collecting benefits that they don't feel are deserving. Basically, they are taking the approach that if I can't get a handout, neither can you.
These people need to stop worrying so much about what others have, and instead show concern for what others don't have.
I didn't have much respect for this clown before but he's managed to sink to new depths , way low . Anything for a little attention and a few bucks eh Donald ? The money you requested for the super glue is in the mail and on it's way , don't worry .
"The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all."
