    What is your take on this?

    Personally I think it is great— we need some straight talk for a change in the election process…

    I don’t think he has a chance to win the nomination, but he will definitely shake things up and say things that others wouldn’t dare say…

    The country needs to be run like a business and not a welfare state to fix the problems we have. The fact that a lot of votes will be bought with the promise to keep giving to those that want to sit on their @$$ will make it tough for him to get in.

    He has more experience than a community activist that somehow got a senate seat, and elected president. I think his comments on immigration yesterday were entertaining as well as somewhat accurate.

    we need a business man in office.. period... he is more well versed on international affairs and economic issues than any other candidate. Surrounded by a good military counsel, I believe it could be a very refreshing change that this country may need.

    Why would a successful business person want a job that pays $500,000 a year?

    I believe he will have the ear of a lot of folks fed up with status quo...

    Because he doesn't have to work if he doesn't want to--- and because he is like most of us fed up with the current state of America..

    Really anyone with a sense of business who is fiscally conservative and socially libertarian will do. We won't get anything done with the morons running the House or Senate. Boehner, McConnell, and the like all need kicked out of office.

    Honestly, putting my personal beliefs and rights discussions and looking strictly at foreign affairs and economy....he is exactly what this country needs. I guarantee one thing, he's the first president that will meet Putin (or any other foreign leader) and look him in the eyes the entire time.

    If Trump had a constitution minded running mate it'd be a the perfect pairing honestly.

    Really look at how rich the Clintons and Barry got by being President.Being President is a back channel money maker. The $500G is just a token

    Maybe someone else with a solid and successful business background, I don't like Donald. I don't like the arrogance and most of all I don't like the clownshow he puts on when he speaks. I like my president to be presidential, not an act from Saturday Night Live.

    I'm not convinced. I don't like they guy's attitude, his character or anything else about him. I can't even take the guy seriously at this point. I'm not going to support and vote for a guy that I wouldn't even invite to dinner.

    Like or dislike.. it is refreshing to see a non "career for life politician" stepping up and calling a turd a turd in my opinion! :)

    It's a joke, but so is the other big name candidates. I'd like to see it just for the fact that it will show the public how much of a puppet the president is. He'd get it and immediately start walking the line.

    I like the idea but I doubt he will win, Apparantly America is the only market economy that it is a bad thing to make a lot of money. Our country is being dominated by lazy in working people who elect guys like Obama to give them free money

    Donald would have to put his business assets in trust while he was in office.
