The Donald sure knows how to get attention. If he's not calling out POTUS to produce a birth certificate then he's hanging out in Vegas saying what many of us would love to say: our politically correct pansy-esque approach to world politics needs to end. While I don't agree with the statement that our politicians are stupid (that paints with too broad of a brush) I do agree the we we need to draw a line in the sand.
The greatest point made in Trump's speech had to do with infrastructure and the fact that our government seems more concerned about infrastructure in other countries more than in our homeland. Trump said:
"We build a school, we build a road. They blow up the road. They blow up the school. We build another school, we build another road, they blow them up, we build again, in the meantime we can't get a f-king school built in Brooklyn."
Anyone care to dispute this statement? Schools, roads, bridges, airports, railways, you name it, it's falling apart here in the good old USA. Not convinced, catch an episode of Inspector America on the History Channel (http://www.history.com/shows/inspector-america). Timothy Galarnyk does a pretty decent job of show what poor shape our 40-60 year old roads and bridges are in. Maybe I'm just getting old, but it seems the better we take care of our needs, the better we can help others.
After all is said and done, I don't believe Trump is a viable presidential candidate. But I do believe he is a live wire and will be a solid catalyst in getting other candidates more involved and off the fence in the 2012 Presidential dodge ball game.
