Budget Deal a 'Joke,' Obama Is 'Incompetent': Trump

[NJMaverick]

Quote:In all, Trump said in a CNBC interview, the weeks-long squabble is another black eye for America.

"Eventually you have to balance the budget. This is a long way from balancing the budget," he said. "This is just a joke. This is a down payment at most."

Trump has toyed with the idea of running for president and has been a harsh critic of Obama. However, he said the president did manage to score a political victory during the debt debate, removing an issue that had the potential to derail his run for a second term next year.

Beyond that, he said, Obama is incompetent.

Trump is an incompetent birther idiot.

Figures, cnbc the radical wing, goes to Trump for analysis. You just can't fix stupid.

This from a guy who was born rich but went bankrupt. More than once.

AFIK, nobody actually calls him for his opinion, but he and his publicists have every news desk in NY on speed dial.
It's not exactly a slow news day today-- why wouldn't they just hang up on him?

Maybe CNBC knows its audience isn't really that bright, or wealthy-- just a bunch of wannabees with the hots for Maria Bartiromo.

(I heard she has to have extra security from the fans and potential stalkers out there.)

The funny part is that Trump doesn't sound different than Paul Krugman. Granted one wants a balanced budget and the other wants bigger debt but other than that they sound identical.

If the teafraggers had succeeded in holding the debt ceiling hostage and everything crashed would it have affected Trump's holdings. Or is he like the Kochs?

I bet that asshat never balanced a budget in his life; his entire 'empire' is a house of cards built on MASSIVE DEBT.

He should talk. He is not competent at anything. Including hair style.

Trump's been waiting under a rock to get his name back in the news for pouncing on President Obama.

Trump does not even explain what he thinks it wrong with it. And as if he could get better out of the House. This is why businessmen do not have good experience for politics. When they find out that the House and Senate do not have to do what he wants like his employees do, is when they'd find out how "competent" they are.

Good grief...there aren't enough words...

Why is Trump's opinion considered relevant on anything to do with politics?

And, since he's a birther teabagger and 2/3 of the House fraggers voted for it..does that mean he just changed his stripes?

Trump is a vapid hairdo who craves headlines and money. Why anyone still listens to him is beyond me.

This, coming from a guy that got his money the old-fashioned way--inheritance, and has declared bankruptcy more times than should be allowed, and he still gets air time.

Trump is proof of the bumpersticker: If you get a loan for a thousand dollars, the bank owns you. You get a loan for 10 million dollars, you own the bank.
