Donald Trump’s Solution on Gas Prices: Get Tough With Saudi Arabia; Seize Oil Fields in Libya and Iraq?

Go get them Trump….

See, I told you.

This guy makes my golden retriever look like Socrates.

So we deposed a dictator to free a people, but since it cost us so much we should just stick around and siphon off their resources? Wow,
Also, there are ships out at sea unable to distribute their oil because the world does not have the refining capacity to convert it into petrolium products. Small problem.

This guy isn’t trying to take Obama’s place. Sounds more like he wants to be the next Charlie Sheen.

All you liberals screamed no blood for oil. Well apparently, you were wrong since we didn’t take Iraq’s oil. And this man has the temerity to speak the truth. We liberated the Iraqis from Hussein, spent over a trillion dollars, so in your minds what the US deserves no recompense?
Hilarious.
Oh and BTW, where’s your picket signs for Libya? Guess that war is okay since the president has a D next to his name.

Trump is a joke.

Trump a Genius, why did’nt Bush think of this?

You libs crack me up!! It all comes back to that old Sarah Palin saying, “how’s that hopey, changey thing workin’ out for ya??”
And BTW, learn to spell!! We’re supposed to be the stupid ones, “don’tcha know??”

I think that Trump has a very poor understanding of how the arab world thinks and works. If he were POTUS things would realy get bad

America is run to lose money. Trump would make us money, and that threatens the elite liberals.

This guy sounds ridiculous. Does he think countries will back down and give him anything he wants just but beating his chest and giving them that “I just sucked a lemon” face? Get real, this guy is a clown.

People, you need to stop clinging to oil. It’s not sustainable. We can invade every country in the middle east, and we’ll still run out some day. Stop being so short-sighted and come up with a renewable energy solution already. Sheesh.

Quid pro quo. This is the way the world really works, we have to look after our own interests, because most of our allies given the chance, would cut our throats, not to mention our enemies…Time to wake up because liberalism is a dream world…

Tell my friend that sought political refuge due to the massive amount of her Kurdish friends and family being murdered by Saddam that we shouldn’t have gone to Iraq. She would tell you that the US was a welcome guest.

Trumps speech this weekend was great, I hope he runs for president. Will be keeping my eye on him.

What a plan. Us take over their oil on their land? Sure thing, Donald.
But really, The STRANGEST thing happened. My daughter lost her birth certificate. Since I am now almost 70 and haven’t had my own for many years, I applied for new birth certificates for both of us. And guess what they say: Certificate of Live Birth with the State seal on them. Ya know, just like Obama’s.

Here’s a novel idea! How about we just let our own oil companies start drilling again in our own gulf!

Wow, this guy should join Charlie Sheen’s tour. Two clowns who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

My dog would be a better president than Trump
Lol VOTE FOR RON PAUL 2012

Donald T. Rump is a bad joke, and only the news media doesn’t get it. He may be running as a Republican, but he has liberal tendencies. He says he will run as an Independent if he doesn’t get their nomination for POTUS. So he’s just Ross Perot II, with smaller ears and more hair, out to spoil the Republican nominee’s chances of winning against the Obammunist only because he wasn’t nominated and is throwing a childish fit. I’d like to see the birth certificate – - – for his hair.

All a person needs to do is remember H Ross Perot’s scam to run for president. This is no more or no less than a recycle of that liberal trick to cut the votes from the conservative candidate. The libs know that they are toast unless they find a way to split the vote.

This guy is a Democratic plant. He’s on a mission to siphon off enough votes with an independant run to let Obama win again. Simple as that.

Yeah, let’s seize the oil fields of foreign countries because we have a right to their oil, we need it more than they do, and we don’t have any oil resources of our own to develop.
Sounds like a good plan for starting another world war.

You guys just don’t get it. Sure laugh all you want at this guy but he is EXACTLY CORRECT. OPEC is NOTHING WITHOUT US. YES I AM YELLING THEY ARE NOTHING WITHOUT US. Simple pull absolutely every sinle troop, foreign aid, and just simply any and all assistance from those countries. Then ban all American companies from doing business with them. Then sit back and watch them crumble, on their knees BEGGING US TO BUY THEIR OIL FOR EVEN $20 a barrell. OPEC NEEDS US WE DO NOT NEED THEM. We can get our oil from plenty of other sources. Win or lose thank you Trump for telling it like it REALLY IS.

At least he tells the truth straight out, he does not hide his directives. Look, let me explain something to you, we are broke and you want to take the high road, that road was sullied in the past ten years, share a bowl of rice in two years unless we save our economy and you might do that, eat a half bowl of rice, but to sacrifice an entire world generation, get over yourself.

The Bush/Obama wars are pointless but it’s interesting that Trump is thought of as crazy for wanting the “liberated” countries to pay for them. Maybe the crazy ones are the ones who started and continue them.

IMO — the only reason Trump has any perceptible viability is because we have an idiot in the White House now. “You win the war and you take it.”… Excuse me, Iraq is a sovereign nation. Period. His language, as appealing as it may be to a lot of frustrated people, is sheer stupidity. He’s pandering and people are sucking it up.

Mr.Trump is sending the message most Americans have been waiting to hear. Not the same old dribble coming out of Hollywood and liberal Washington.
The US needs strong leadership to remain strong. Not leaders who are more concerned with political correctness. Respect is earned not given.

And in case any missed it……yes, Obama did us another disfavor but most of the media isn’t reporting it. Yes, it is true Obama has given columbia 2 billion US $$$ to Drill baby DRill there to sell their oil to us. Why isn’t he impeached already.

GO GET THEM TRUMP…THOSE WACKY LIBERALS

Is’nt this kind of thinking that got world war 2 going ? nations taking what didnt belong to them ? Germant taking Land, Japan taking Resources??????
Bad Idea……..

Let’s get serious and TELL THE TRUTH!
When you really think about it, HE IS
Correct. He is saying it like it IS!
No more Mr. Nice Guy, No More Politically
correct…
It is time to call the spade a spade…
Is he the right person to do it? Don’t know
about that yet…. BUT SOMEBODY BETTER,
or Donald is getting MY VOTE!

Ahh.,.the powers that be give us Obama who all know is a lying DUMB crook and Trump who we all know is blood sucking crook as our two choices this year? Where is PALIN

Who on earth does Trump’s make-up? His face had an orange cast and his eyelids, the area under his eyebrows and the puffy bags themselves looked pink to purple, along with the area directly over his eyebrows. That, along with his outrageous solutions to our gas problems made this a most hilarious clip to watch. I look forward to viewing the entire interview tomorrow as there’s nothing like beginning your day with laughter.

I’m most certainly not a liberal and I feel that Obama and his minions are destroying this country, but I must say that Trump is a whack-job. Who would vote for this joker? Not I.

I think we all should look into and at this all. NOW think about, he is stealing votes away from the other Republican candidates (who they will be) and making the voting stronger for obie……I would bet money that he is backed by the Demobrats.

I agree go for the oil. Obama sure as hell is doing nothing in the Gulf and elsewhere in this country. If something REALLY happens we are finished.

How can Donald Trump be leading the GOP nomination for 2012? He’s filed for bankruptcy 3 times …. that’s a great image for the USA! He made all of his money (and lost it all) running casinos, sleazy hotels, and running questionable reality shows that really don’t promote republican values!

You know what. Trump may be crazy with the birther stuff but he is on to something talking about taking the oil fields. It would be sooooo easy. They are in the middle of a desert. Impossible for them to retake anything we take from them.

STEPS ON HOW TO WIN THE GOP NOMINATION
1) Star in a reality show!
2) Fill out the paper work!
3) Avoid any real issues by bringing up Obamas birth certificate!
Come on republicans we gotta do better then this!!!! Got me worried here!

US Contractors, US oil companies, US fire fighters, US everything involving exploration, labor, intelligence, production, delivery, has it’s fingerprints on all of that oil, all over the world!!!If it wasn’t for the United States’ workers, intellectuals, investors, there would be no oil above the surface, and there is plenty of that in the United States and other places around the world, but we consider that a nuisance!!! That black gooey stuff that gets on your golf shoes or your swimsuit, especially in California, where offshore drilling is prohibited, especially in/where the most lucrative prospective spots to drill would be, where the (“Black gold”) oil is rising to the surface naturally!!! To seize their oil would be justified, but unnecessary, close down operations there, give tax incentives here to return home, drill here, tap into our own thousands of years supply (Oil is a juice of the earth, that keeps replenishing itself as long as the earth keeps spinning and the formations under the surface of the United States is a perfect place for it to accumulate)Withdraw technology back into the United States, create jobs at home instead of around the world!!! We give them work, pay them for their voluntary bodily functions/movements/labors/intellect, yet they hate us!!!! They are treated better than us by our government, if we exchange our voluntary body movement for financial reward, we owe our government/Al Capone a chunk of it!!!

Trump talks realty not Liberalismz

Another Ross Perot, sent just in time to save (this time) Obama’s butt! Conspiracy?

He’s right lets get our money back the hell with iraq.

It’s time the U.S. had a real dictator. We spend all these billions on advanced weapons, let’s use them! Let’s just bomb everyone, steal everything, be the real empire we so desire — start a war to end all wars! Let’s plunge the world into a dark ages, or nuclear apocalypse. Who cares, Super-Zombie Jesus is coming to save us all soon. Have faith.

Ross Perot was a genius with real answers and a real plan. He spend countless hours in front of Americans on national tv laying out his plan. Trump has no plan other than to occupy foreign countries and dog on Obamas birth certificate. Come on Republicans we can do better!

How pathetic is the field… I would take Mr. Trump 10,000 before Mr. Obama.

Well…Trump is not afraid to call ‘em as he sees ‘em. But…his bombastic rhetoric is sure to be very divisive, and we do not need another Great Divider in the White House.

PLEASE, please, please, let the Donald last at least as long as the primary debates!!! I never thought the Christine O’Donnel and Sara Palin debate series would ever be topped in terms of side-splitting hilarity, but THIS crop of knuckleheads is gonna produce some kind of extra crazy that we haven’t seen in a long time, maybe EVER.

Don’t laugh too hard. This is what happened to Germany in the 1930′s. They had economic problems and this guy came along and said it was the fault of a group of people. If only we could take care of this group of people all of their problems would be solved. So, he got a group of Rush-like tough guys together (by using hate talk) and formed a new party. Oh, and they did take care of that group. However, as we all know the story, it didn’t work out too well. Who was this guy?
Beware of “leaders” who blame others for our own problems. We made this mess and we need to fix it ourselves through hard work and great planning, not by war.

Oh you people aren’t really gullible enough to think this is about freeing the people from a dictator are you? These leaders of these countries were used and then they were double crossed. None of these countries will have new freedom loving govts. Their replacements will be even more brutal.

What a joke. This guy is a plant for Obama

@Kron “People, you need to stop clinging to oil. It’s not sustainable. We can invade every country in the middle east, and we’ll still run out some day. Stop being so short-sighted and come up with a renewable energy solution already. Sheesh.”
Kron, you are a D-Bag! This goes way beyond renewable energy.

The best way to bring oil prices down, is not to use it. Tell the oil producing Gods we don’t need their oil anymore.
Trump makes a good point. Iraq can payback some of its dues, with oil. Democracy does not come cheap.

Obama has ZERO solution for the oil price, except to advance impossible theories about 100 year in the future wind cars! What a moron! GO TRUMP!
The US polices the world, time we got PAID FOR OUR DUTY!

trump is an idiot!
take their oil fields?! lets just make the middle east hate us more.
again, he’s an idiot!!

I am in tears at all the debating. This is like who’s line is it anyways!! The sad thing is..he is half right!! Lets look at the simple facts. These OPEC losers are jacking up the prices because they know..Those with out a birth certificate will roll over no matter what! Start doing fly over missions over the homes of some of these OPEC retards. Oops..that was not PC…sorry retards didn’t mean to offend ya.
Obama will not stand up for the American people. He has yet to do so. He is too busy defending his working man. That one man…who has a job. Still hoping for my job..

The way I read it was that we should take oil from them as a repayment for what we have invested in bringing their infrastructure into the 21st century after years of oppression and of course our demolition. Not that he was advocating physical control and ownership of said oil fields.

The Don has my vote! His thoughts have been mine for years. Why would we want to spent over a trillion dollars and countless deaths and wounded? For nothing in return? Not on my watch, nor on Don’s!

Oh and BTW, where’s your picket signs for Libya?
Guess that war is okay since the president has a D
next to his name. POSTED BY: MR | APR 18, 2011
7:35:52 PM********Heck, if this president had lied to
the world, intimidating his opponents and telling
everybody that Libya had fictitious WMD’s, then there would be signs. Oh I forgot that it was the previous
president who screwed that one up.
Guess you have to slither back into your hole again.

19th century solutions for 21st century problems is considered advanced thinking in the GOP.

Excellent rebuttal to George’s stupid and idiotic questions. Trump is smart or he wouldn’t be in the position he is now. The MSM appears to be having a heart attack with Trump in the picture and its fun to watch the MSM squirm for a change!

This guy is looking better by the second. Two weeks ago, you would have never convinced me. Now I am thinking there is no one better. Our country has had decades of politicians who only know how to spend our money.
Finally, a businessman who knows how to make money. I don’t care if you are a left wing or right wing person. This guy is successful across the board.
Our nation is rotten to the core from the dems and the GOP. The romney’s of the world are lining the pockets of the idiot Karl Rove’s and the old guard rebublican losers are freaking out.
Not only is obummer no match for Trump, but there is no other rebulican that can beat him. He is NOT a politician. It is so refreshing to actually hear someone who is passionate about fixing the problems of this nation, and actually has a huge track record for success.
MR. TRUMP………PLEASE GO TO WASHINGTON!!!! YOU WERE BORN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!!!

Thats right. Lets make fun of this guy and put another politician in the WH. They all have done such a great job.

We the people are too stupid to elect someone that would run this country in such a way that we wouldn´t bankrupt ourselves.
As for seizing the oil, I see that being much like Obama saying he would close Gitmo.

I was never a Trump fan. He is too arrogant – smart but arrogant. I AM NOW A FAN. He is less arrogant and smarter and more experienced at management than Obama. Trump is saying things than need to be said but the professional politicians (including Republicans) are to.namby pamby PC to say them. We spend billions supporting other countries who hate us while our own citizens are without food and a warm dry place to sleep. Obama has no clue how to run a cool aid stand and instead of hiring people who do he hires political activists. Bring TRUMP on.

LongT…your 8:19 post…lol…I know you read what I have said all along about Trump. LOL…just like dmounts000…you finally agree with what I said about what Trump is doing??? LOL…LOL He doesn’t want the “right wing” in power. He does NOT want to go “backwards” as a country. That is NOT how “the Donald” makes his money. LOL…LOL

Trump is correct. So is Chris Bollyn and Alex Jones.

Well, Europe is in the process of taking Libyan oilfields by proxy, then we take Iraq’s, then Russia takes Iran’s, then China (relies almost entirely on imports) gets worried and goes after Indonesian oil, few years down the road, China gets desperate has NK invade while they go after Phillipines (control Phill/Ind) control choke point. China gets Venz/Nic to take canal choke point. Russia in Iran moves to take Hormuz choke point. We control Horn choke point, WW3 starts, 1 billion dead in 2 decades.

What is Donald talking about when he says taking. Firstly The USA has enough oil reserves in their own land sufficient for the American people. Also Iraq didn’t ask for them to be invade, and now after the damage that has been done, he wants to take over the oil fields. And lastly the USA has already given out contracts to oil companies like Shell,BP etc….over a certain number of oil fields. It’s not OPEC that is the only player in the game, here.

Mr. Trump, America has given you a great life with opportunity for all… Right now, America needs you… Please don’t turn your back… Your businesses, your shows are miniscule compared to how badly we need a leader. If there is one person that can restore our financial stability and respect around the world, you are that person.
It is absolutely your OBLIGATION, yes OBLIGATION to run and rescue this country.
Please man up and take on this task.

Politicians are wolves trying to convince us they’re sheepdogs (when we need neither). Trump’s a wolf that’s honest about his wolfness. That makes him better than the others.
Sad, sad truth, America.

With all its problems, America needs a superhero to save her: THE DONALD. Seriously, Trump might be more humble than Obama.

How about Kuwait? We should have gotten at least cheap oil from them seeing as how we bailed them out…..We need to stand up to these people and that includes China…I like what Trump has to say…Can he walk the walk? I don`t know yet….

Trump=Charlie Sheen

RIGHT! Have a couple of your shadows hold those Arab’s down so you can show them what “real class” you have. Maybe even reach around in front and shake that arachnid hair-piece in their face and they’ll think evil spirits are visiting them outside the underworld. Then your crew can beat each in turn into submission.
Trump. You’re FIRED!

What an arrogant s.o.b.
I’m tired of criminals running this country. No thanks Donald.
I’m voting for Ron Paul!

“If you put the Federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five
years there’d be a shortage of sand”.
Milton Friedman

Trump is correct. Iraq needs to pay in oil. Saudi Arabia and OPEC are funding the anti US drilling movement.

Get tough with Donald Trump. Seize all his wealth. :)

Oil is not fossil fuel and it replenishes itself..Running out is a scam.

Before he opened his mouth to announce that he would run for president, I knew that he is another Ross Perot.He would gain a few votes here and there. If he gets into the white house, he and his corporate buddies will run the show. Trump can never win the presidency. Is Trump willing to lead a battallion to the Middle East or would he once again will be sending the poor rats to go and die for him so that he can get wealthier? The Muslims of the Middle East have been kicked around much, but everyone is realizing that it is getting harder to threaten people and push them around and steal their wealth, tipical Republican mentality- he has zero morals.

The Don hints at something very important… world war II era views on war. War is not police work. War is costly… for losers. The Don wants to win. Uh, I’ll go his way if I have choose between being on a losing team and a winning one.

As I recall, George Bush stated that Iraqi oil would indeed pay for our involvement in the war before we ever invaded Iraq……then we allowed Iraq to give the contracts to China! What kind of a deal is that?

Trump would shake up the GOP run for Pres. He would force legitimate contenders to man up. I hope he does not run as an Indy or we are screwed.

WHO WILL SEIZE OIL WELLS IN LIBYA AND IRAQ?
OK, Trump is a back-bencher.
He demands that the U.S. take over Iraq’s and Libya’s oil wells. WHO will do that?
If Trump demands such a thing, he would have to do that IN PERSON himself as the Americam military would refuse such an UNCONSTITUTIONAL ORDER by any government official.
Trump is “play acting.” And, no one is calling him on it because there are just too many “Beltway” types involved in America’s political and governmental processes.
Do you wonder what Trump would do if someone decided to take over HIS property?
He and people like him have no clue and are just BS’ng this nation and everyone dumb enough to ask to talk to him about his views grounded in stupidity.

I do not support Trump as he seems like he’ll say anything.
We should e=definitely make IRAQ and ANY other nation in which we are forced to Intervene (Afghanistan, Libya, Vietnam, Germany, France, England, Japan, Korea) pay us for the cost of our military and other services.
Why should the American taxpapyer have to pay to protect other nations and/or rescue them from dictators, war-mongers, etc.? there’s no rational justification for other nations not to pay their way.
They all owe us trillions of dollars and its time we started collecting.
IRAQ, Afghanistan and Libya would be good places to start.
Think of what this teach to the nations and the dictators of the world. MAKE the USA Play for you and you will have to pay!
Rogue nations would no longer feel comfortable know that it would cost too much for the USA to clean up their messes (like Iran, Syria, North korea) and in every war in which we became involve—we would not quit until we secured payment in full, including full reparations for all of our wounded and disabled G.I.s.
Japan and the EU still owe us billions (with interest) for the Marshall Plan and for our rescuing the EU from Hitler.
China owes us for rescuing them from the Japanese, as do many nations around the Pacific rim.
It is high time America started collecting on these debt the rest of the world owes us for keeping them safe.

Go get em Trump take there damn oil hold money for them in trust fund:-)a then send a check for oil at our price to every citizen in the Saudi Kingdom no middle man needed! Better deal for them and us.

This man is a menace and a buffoon. That anyone takes him seriously as a candidate is almost unbelievable. Then again people still think Obama has different policies than W. Reality is O = W and Trump = Chump.

Great idea, Trump, you dumb pile of crap.
America should just steal what it wants from the rest of the planet.
Obama’s got no problem in 2012 if this is the kind of crap the Republicans are running against him.

you just lost me with your convoluted logic. Iraq never invited us in the first place. You go kick your neighbor’s door in – break everything up – then you think you have a right to take his jewelry to re-imburse yourself??? How does it not sound like stealing when you say it?

Why should Iraq pay us back? They didn’t ask Busb to “liberate” them from a fellow Iraqi. Bush had made up his mind to get revenge on Saddam for the 1993 assassination attempt on his dad and used 9-11 to justify an invasion.
Bush and Cheney should be in prison cells at the Hague, awaiting trial for war crimes.

“…to the victor belong the spoils.” Seriously? He thinks we conquered Iraq? That we just went in to plunder? What a neanderthal!

It’s going to be President Sarah Palin and Vice-President Ron Paul.

Trump’s another FOX NEWS moron. How many times did Trump go bankrupt? 3?

You sir, are a moron. “We’ll run out someday?” I live in the present. Presently, oil runs the equipment that keeps you free (tanks and jets). Presently, the world is entirely dependent on oil because nothing has been invented to replace it. We need to drill and refine at home ( where, by the way, it’s done cleaner than any 3rd world dump could ever do it). Only then, will we independent of foreign oil you dumbf%^k.

Given the fact that Trump has taken 3 sides on just about every issue, I’m beginning to think that he’s nothing more than a Democrat foil for the Republican party.
Besides this latest nonsense about “stealing” the oil, his latest rant over Romney is that he has a larger portfolio than Romney. What’s next? Can he do more push-ups than Romney.
Trump is an utter show-boating joke. And so-called conservatives are propping this guy up?
Dump the Trump and get back to a serious candidate.

1.5 Trillion! Can you even imagine how much that really is? And it’s all our money! YES you people out there. OUR MONEY!!! It’s time they pay us back. YES WITH OIL! Because that’s what we need and that’s what they have! Donald Trump is right!

The US over the years has become so arrogant and ignorant…its truly sad.

Sure spend more you idiot.

Trump is trying to position himself as a populist by shooting in all directions to appeal to various frustrations, but his rhetoric will never translate into policy due to current geopolitics.
In fact, the USA is rapidly losing influence in the middle east and oil prices are only a symptom of this problem. If Iran takes over the region, as they are doing, there’s not going to be an OPEC to pressure and complain about.
What Trump is neglecting to mention is that the middle east is now in the midst of a Cold War, and the USA is in the position of having to support the bad option over the much worse.
Saudi Arabia, the most important OPEC player (and chief exporter of extreme ideologies), is now the last Arab bulwark against an expansionist Iran after the USA’s mishandling of the Egyptian revolution. (The latter has not only left the anti-Iran alliance, but may re-ignite the conflict with Israel.)

I like the straightforward approach that if I have to spend money to go over there you have to pay it back. Its being paid back your expenses. right now we pay to get rid of their demagagues and then their people kill and hate us screw hearts and minds

Trump HAS to be a doing a Charlie
Sheen here. . . . endearing himself to
the moose-jerkeys and becoming THE
right-wing candidate doomed to fail
by design. Or . . . . he really is totally
nuts !

I have a better idea. Round up people like Donald Trump and throw them into the Internment camps the people like him had originally built for American citizens who opposed their control. Make sure there are stout trees. For CO2 control of course. Or methane.

I would tell the Saudi’s lower the price or we start drilling for all the oil we can find. To hell with Obama giving other countries money to drill oil to sell to us.

Wowee! And I thought Bush was dangerous! Not mention of conservation or any other solutions except invading Oil producing countries and seize the oil. Obviosly no one other than a spoiled silver spooned moron or perhaps a complete meglamaniac could suggest such. How would China and Russia respond to such lunancy? WW III perhaps

If this showboat were elected he would ruin this country. Everybody knows what’s wrong. Jews control this country. Jews control the media.
You go in and take it and his son will lead the way. You all didn’t know Trump’s son enlisted in the Marine Corp. His other son pumps out septic tanks. We need a lone gunman for this guy

I want someone to tell me what they think of this…Let’s bring all the troops home. Let’s run the Crips and Bloods and Mexican gangs out. Let’s fine any company that hires and illegal $10,000. Let’s have a flat tax and no more places for the rich to hide their money. If they make it then they pay taxes on it. Don’t I sound better than Trump? I say Jesse Ventura would make a better president.

If you don’t think the Jews decide who becomes president, then you aren’t paying attention. he thinks he can run the country like his company. I would rather see him cut his hair. I quit the combovers when I was 25, but of course I started wearing a hat, but that’s beside the point.

Please…liberals…for once, argue with facts. Not emotion nor diversion attempts at humor.

I wish the Media would stop giving this man attention. Everyone knows he’s a joke.

So we attack a country based on lies and then steal their oil? PLEASE! Google Iraqi deformed babies and ask trump who is going to pay forall those babies destroyed by our depleted uranium. This guy just needs a 150 grain piece of leading traveling 3,000 feet per second.
This guy is too arrogant. He’s said nothing about getting troops out. He’s said nothing about Israel. He’s concentrating on Obama and oil. If someone plucked him they would be famous.

http://www.codoh.com http://www.vho.org http://www.natvan.com

Who exactly is Trump addressing, obviously he has never been outside of an office or casino in his life. He may be rich, but no one is as stupid as he thinks. He will have to do a far better job of promoting himself than this, it is the sloppiest ever.

Donald T. Rump is trying to sabotage the Republicans chances of defeating the Obammunist in 2012 by running as a less wealthy Ross Perot II, with smaller ears and his own TV show. Reality TV has gone too far this time. It’s time to come to our senses and vote for the politicians who will restore economic sanity rather than hand out our money to Union thugs and hand over power to his Chicago Communisty Organizers and appointed Socialist SC Judges. Donald T. Rump is just running a pick for the Obammunist to score again in 2012. Don’t be fooled by the rhetoric about a birth certificate and seizing oil; Rump is a chump.

While I see the need short term to drill our own oil, we do have a possible fantastic solution by using the new Carbon Chemical coated tubes that are very cheap to make in Hydrogen Fuel cells and just burn Water. The cool thing about burning water, is it turns back into, well, WATER!

Why are the Saudis sanctioning world oil? For punishment? World control? Remember what Japan did when the Western world led by the U.S. tried sanctioning Japan 70 years ago? You shut off the supply of oil, you bring the U.S. to its knees which is what some people want.

In NY we all understand that Trump is a man who floats above party affiliation to actually get things done. He is an incredibly clear thinker who is unafraid to explore difficult ideas and who is not beholden to the extreme elements of the parties. He is, in fact, a moderate, and not that much unlike everyone else in NY. He would make a superb President.

Financial Manager for the US Economy. TRUMP,TRUMP,TRUMP TRUMP. He will not lay down to throwing money out to other counties. Let them make it on their own, or change their country so it can. The “USA” needs to fix home first, save others later.

Go Trump take down the big oil guys making billions while the US suffers from politicion getting bought off iets take what is owed to us for our services

I wish our current President was willing to say what needed to be said and accepted the backlash appropriately like Trump does. I don’t agree with all of Trump’s ideas, but you can’t blame him for being a completely different person behind closed doors, like our esteemed campaigner-in-chief.
Moreover, Trump seems to have a grasp on economics and exchange of goods and services. The President, however, starts talking about tax hikes at the first sign of economic recovery and what do investors do? They get blue balls and sell, sell, sell. The further we get into his Presidency, the clearer it’s becoming that economic recovery isn’t his goal. It’s something that can be sacrificed to meet his personal ideas for America.

Bush gave a billion or three to the Saudi’s in arms, wonder what will happen in the mid east? They need us to buy oil. The mid east is about to explode in war. Trump uses laws to his advantage and built an empire, capitalism at its heart. He and Rich Dad guy wrote book sayin’ tax the rich, who knew? He went to military school. He is possibly a “protectionist” american in business? He speaks the truth and isn’t bought by a lobby. I have a true blue birth certificate..Put me on his ticket..I’d run with him and I am a Texan by birth. Viva America

He is a clown. So far the Saudi/US alliance has meant that petro dollar cycle was intact and could last for so long. That is one pillar of the US empire. USD and speculation is pushing up food and gas prices. Why not deal with that! I think Americans will vote for yet another clown and then the fun begins. C’mon people. 1M+ Iraqis have died at the hands of US. Show some compassion to be shown some.

No Mr.Trump it doesnt work that way ! Release ur tax returns and ur birth certificate first . I dont trust u as a tax payer.

The more I here the Donald; I have to say I like him. He is a little rough around the edges, how ever if not for President he at the very least belongs in a strong positiion of infuential decision making of the great Country of the USA.

What’s amazing is George Stephanopoulos
with no journalistic qualifications or experience still thinks he can objectically interview anyone who is not part of the insane Lib-Dem philosophy. Trump, Palin & Bachman are popular because they echo the frustrated majority.

Much of the same type of prejudgment and ridicule being directed towards Mr. Trump possible candidacy reminds me of similar disbelief when Mr. Reagan first announced his candidacy, for I was one of those who prejudged and ridiculed him for doing so, immediately dismissing him as a lightweight, amazed that an actor would consider himself worthy of the position.
Yet, but I ended up voting for him against Carter, am glad I did,feel he is one of the greatest who ever held the job, and do not believe there has been anyone to equal him since he left office. I would sleep much better at night now were he in office.
Having learned from that experience, I am not only not dismissing Mr. Trump’s candidacy, I am hoping that he is not dismissing it, for at this point in time I think he is one of the more viable candidates. If the vote were held today, he would have my vote.

PLAY TRUMP CARD!
If you really want to destroy these beautiful United States of America,
please do vote for Mr. TRUMP CARD. It surely will expedite the process.
Before you do that, please check the following so-called RUMORS about
the TRUMP CARD:
1. He was not born in the United States either (Birth Certificate?)
2. He is a Jew but claims to be a Christian (Bar Mitzvah or Baptization?)
3. He is promoting Gambling (Casinos), womanizing (adultery) and admitted
SCREWING Qaddafi on TV (committing acts of cheating and fraud)
4. Ask him where did he get all the money from? PROOF OF THE PRODUCT?
5. He could not manage three wives, admitted his failure and divorced them.
6. One of his daughter is having or had a child out of wedlock (Family values?)
7. And many more to come.
Please ask him to rebut these so called rumors by providing documentary evidences from the local, the state and/or the federal authorities before OFFICIALLY announcing his candidacy for the highest elected office in
the United States of America.
A man, who cannot manage his own personal affairs, has repeatedly failed in business VENTURES, divorced his wives and has no moral values to speak of, how can he manage the affairs of more that 300 million people
of the United States of America? THINK and Think again!
He’s an inexperienced dude with NO real plan for the country, (he’s like a snake oil charmer, selling hope in a bottle to the masses). He will tell you that he can get rid of trillions of dollars of debt in the first year of his presidency, “Yes, he can.”
That‘s what he has done all his life. He will put the United States on the BLOCK and sell it to highest bidder, including China, get rid of the debt
and everything will be fine and dandy. Your children and grandchildren
will not have to pay anything to any one .
United States of America, the greatest nation on this earth will be
FREE at last from all those hypocrites, who are bickering about the debt
and cannot balance the budget. FREE at last, free at last, once for all,
FREE AT LAST.
May God bless America and save us all from the evil intentions of
Mr. TRUMP CARD, Amen.

HA!!! So we are reimbursing ourselves? We went to war to find weapons of mass destruction that weren’t there and killed hundreds of thousands of civilians and shaked a hornets nest while doing it and we need to be reimbursed? What a moron. He cares more about money and greed than he does about any one American much less all of us. What a joke, he has been talking about running for president for 25 years now but our sheep of Americans are too dumb to see it.

Take Iraqi and Libyan (and Saudi too?) oil fields?
I bet they’d become VERY close friends with China, and quick.
THIS is “presidential material?” I think a clown escaped from the circus.

Trump does not sound ridiculous. Liberal whiners do. Trump is accurate, oil is going to go to $6 and even $7 a gallon. Then what? You morons that never want to cut a penny from the welfare state will watch the economy fall apart. China and the Arabs will go off the dollar, inflation will go up 20 % to 30% overnight and you can watch unemployment go to 25% to 35% as well. When your milk will cost $15 a gallon and a loaf of bread goes to $10 and your living in the streets cause you cant afford your rent his solutions wont look so silly. Why does this country spend $80 billion investing in Brazil, $1.4 Trillion in Iraq, $400 Billion in Saudi Arabia etc…. to support a bunch of people that dont need the $$$$$$??????. Its insane. and so are you liberals who think everything is rosy so long as its “democratic”.

COST OF GASOINE PER GALLON, 2011, US$:
SAUDI ARABIA, 61 CENTS
VENEZUELA, 9 CENTS
IRAQ, $1.44
UAE, $1.82
QATAR, 83 CENTS
OMAN, $1.17
NIGERIA, $1.67
LIBYA, 64 CENTS
KUWAIT, 85 CENTS
BRUNEI, $1.48
BAHRAIN, $1.02
UNITED STATES, $3.80
SOMETHINGS GOTTA GIVE!

Only our ‘best and brightest’ to lead the country. Good lawrd, we are in a world of hurt aren’t we!?!?!

Green energy is a mid-long project, our reality is that world depends of oil right now, you are fueling your car with $4/gal right now, so worry about now (planning your future), Its refreshing someone is speaking the truth right now, Obama has been quiet and afraid not just about this topic but many others, all were promises, words and good marketing, I dont blame americans they are used to the latest fad and hollywoodesque entourage. I cant wait to 2012 and fired that guy.

Mr. Trump is your man. Yes, we need to get tough with the Saudis – they’ve been taking us for a ride. That oil in Saudi Arabia is NOT the property of the corrupt Saudi royal family, it actually belongs to the oppressed Shia minority where the oil is under their feet, yet they are the poorest in Saudi. We need a tough foreign policy with Opec. Donal 2012!

So, after you invaded Iraq against the well of the UN, and killed more than 100,000 civilians, you want to seize their oil? You are worse than Hitler.
I sure hope people like this don’t become presidents, or the world will go into WW III. What Trump doesn’t know is that Saudi Arabia keep the prices down by pumping more. This makes us enemies, such as Iran, who want higher price.
Finally, if you don’t want the oil prices to go up, STOP USING 40% OF ITS DAILY PRODUCTION!!!!!!

$1.5 trillion so far in Iraq? God help us that we don’t give our citizens healthcare.

To help all of you people out there how do not understand, oil takes a long time to make. Its not an insta “just add water” sort of thing. It takes millions of years, right? It is always going to cost a lot. In case you have not heard, it is our liquid gold. It is precious. As long as it is an essential to our daily life, any price can be put on it and people will continue to buy it. Trump is right. We should be in control of the price. We can not lose money this way.

When the war began, it was sold to the American people that it would pay for itself with the oil resources. Isn’t that what the Trumpster is saying here in a very un-polished way? He is right though, why should the US dump $1.5 trillion and never recoup any of it?? Want to know more, go to infowars dot com.

It’s an exaggeration on Trump’s part when he says that there are supertankers wandering around the oceans looking for someplace to dump their cargos (the way Trump said it was “they don’t know where to dump it”).
What’s REALLY going on is that after a supertanker full of crude reaches its destination oil port, it often has to wait for many days at a time –sometimes weeks at a time– waiting to offload its current shipment into the refinery that is supposed to receive that shipment. There are usually multiple supertankers in any given oil port, all just sitting in their moorings waiting in line for their turn to offload. The delays can be so lengthy that the captains of those supertankers eventually call their superiors and plead with them to locate a temporary oil storage facility elsewhere so they can offload and get the heck out of there and sail back across the ocean again to pick up their next tankerload of crude.
Why does it take so danged long? Why are all those supertankers stacked up in the oil ports waiting to offload?
Because … the quality of crude nowadays is so crappy that in takes longer for any one shipment to offload (it’s heavier and more sluggish thus it doesn’t flow as freely as a higher quality oil would). And then, after it’s finally offloaded, it takes considerably longer for that one shipment to get fully processed inside the bowels of the refinery. The amount of time needed to process just one tankerload of today’s crude is so much longer than identical-sized shipments in prior years that the other ships must wait in the harbors for days or even weeks. This is a new development. Harbor masters everywhere are right now dealing with this unprecedented escalation in the number of days that multiple supertankers are moored all waiting for the same refinery to accept the latest load. And then, when that load of crude finally does get processed, the refinery needs far more down time for repairs than it used to need for past shipments because these newer and poorer grades of oil do considerably more damage per-shipment to the inner guts of a refinery than past shipments ever did. And the most frustrating thing of all is that after that shipment gets refined, it typically results in a net production of less gasoline and diesel than the same amount of crude a decade ago would have yielded. That’s because a higher percentage of today’s tanker loads are a) water, b) wax, and c) scum.
All of this means we’re paying far more money per tankerload for far skimpier yields per tankerload.

I would be thrilled to have a President that knew how to look out for U.S. interests.

and taking the natural resources of sovereign nations who be in the best interest of the US how? Please explain that to us because the picture is much larger than some barrels of oil. Maybe you should remove the blinders and look at the world. It’s an amazing place but it could get real ugly if we were to do the things Donald Trump suggests.

Quote
“You’re not stealing. Excuse me. You’re not stealing anything. You’re taking– we’re reimbursing ourselves– at least, at a minimum, and I say more. We’re taking back $1.5 trillion to reimburse ourselves.”
OMG.
The rest of the world knew it was about the oil. GWB said it wasn’t. He nearly bankrupts the country. Now DT’s hair says lets throw away any last vestige or US morale right to support democracy and become a viking plunderer.

Another perfect example of the ineptness of government to re-act to crisis.DRILL DRILL DRILL AND PUMP,I dare anyone to look these fact up.How much oil have we purchased in the last decade versus how much we have refined and then where did the difference go?Pumped into dry wells and stored

I agree with Trump completely.

I heard her say we are gonna take the oil fieds by force. Well how about that. What does she want to do, go over there and smile and say give me the keys.

Actually Trump makes a lot of good common (down home type) sense. He may not be totally politically correct but that is what we need. Aman in office that has what it takes to say what needs to be said. It also helps that he cannot be bought, like the Saudis have obama bought ans paid for

What an idiot. He should be pushing alternative energy, but he’s too stupid to realize that someday, sometime, oil is going to scarce and unless we figure it out NOW, lights are going out, cars are stopping and it’s gonna be a cold, dark, night in Trump Tower….

Trump the fool’
Trump is starting to embarras even the thorn tree he fell off of’
This fellow does’nt realize how foolish he looks on these talking head
shows. He has yet to find enough words to complete a sentence and i
am starting to wonder has this fellow got an high school diploma for
he definately does not talk like an educated man.
Could it be Trump fell off an turnip wagon somewhere and a stork
flew by grabbed him up and dropped him in New York and upon landing
somehow a silver spoon flipped into his mouth.
After hearing him talk a few times i very quickly got the idea that
if he has a lot of money,other experienced business people running
his corporations have to be responsible for earning it for him.
He could never be president for he does not have the temperment and
he could not answer the phone for he keeps both hands busy patting
himself on the back.
It’s very easy to see that Trump does’nt care about country or people
he cares about Trump more than anything else in the world.
He does’nt know if he’s Repub,Demo or Independent.
I really dont care what ticket he is on i could never vote for this
foolish man.
He is stuck on the birther issue and does’nt seem to be able to
talk about anything else which makes me think that if he ever is
forced to talk about real important issues he will be at a loss for
words and probably will just say something stupid.

It’s their oil, they can sell it for whatever price they feel like selling it for.
Donald Trump is used to stealing money by declaring bankruptcy, I guess this mindset is all pervasive with him.

I fully agree with Donald Trump. Something new has to be done to lower gas prices. If we continue to sit by idly then nothing we will continue to be pushed around by the middle east. It is time for change.

The reason why US didn’t get the oil from Iraq instead of China and Brit Petrol get the contract because US oil companies wanted 90% of profit and give 10% to Iraqi Government. BP and Chinese accept 10% profit that why they got the right to the oil in Iraq. What George W Bush did about this? Nothing because he might already have huge amount of BP shares stash secretly for him in his wife’s name. And Bush already sold this country to China.

phil,sorry for that,now you are thinking completely wrong,wrong answer.No body and no one can invade any middle east and their oil and what kind of capacity they have got,stop dreaming,suppose if i am a leader and i,ve got a plenty of oil in my area,do you think that you will invade my land,well my little baby,try it,and before i will make sure that i will burn all my oil capacity and yours oil capacity in your country.first yours,then mine.Grown up,easy answer.messing with Arabs is very very very easy,try with any Pathan,s.they will and still telling you,don,t mess with us,its not that easy to get any countries oil,s.that,s what i am saying,Stop dreaming.
