Trump's Personal Name Tag Worn at Public Gatherings
Now Get Down on Your Knees
From MSNBC here (verbatim): He’s been called the “wrecking
ball for the future of the Republican party, very
divisive, and a a
hate-spewing character,” but to hear Donald Trump tell it, he’s got
millions — maybe even billions — of good relationships and people who love
him. Let’s take a look at the long, growing, and often debatable list of
people Trump swears adore him.
1. Mexicans: “I
have a great relationship the Mexican people. I love them, they love me!” Trump told NBC
News in the wake of international outrage and controversy over his assertion
that Mexican immigrants illegally coming into the U.S. are criminals, rapists,
and drug dealers.
2. The Blacks: “I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great
relationship with the blacks. But
unfortunately, it seems that, you know, the numbers you cite are very, very
frightening numbers,” he said, suggesting that African-Americans only voted for
President Obama because he is black.
3. Neil Young: “I love Neil Young,” Trump told
Bloomberg after the rock star asked the Republican candidate to stop using his
music as part of his campaign. “And he loves me! We have a great
relationship.”
4. Buffalo Residents: “I think the people of Buffalo, they already
like me — I have a great relationship with the people of Buffalo,” Trump said
last year as he weighed a bid to build the new stadium for the Buffalo Bills. Upon
losing the stadium to another bidder, Trump fired off a handful of disparaging
tweets about the Buffalo NFL team and the buyer
who did get it: “I’m glad I didn’t get the Bills. Boring games,” he
tweeted.
5. The “TEA” Party: “I think I
bring a lot of people. But first of all, I have a great relationship, as you
know, with the tea party folks. I mean, I love the tea party. They’ve made this
world aware of what’s going on with our country. So I have a great relationship
there,” Trump told
Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren in 2012 when asked about what he brings
to Gov. Mitt Romney’s campaign.
“The tea party loves me,” he
said in Nevada this month. According to the
most recent Monmouth University poll, this is now true. However, one major
tea party group— the Club for Growth — has made it quite clear they can’t be
bothered with Trump’s candidacy. “The Club for Growth has issued very
substantive and detailed white papers on the records of the major announced
Republican candidates for president. There is no need to do a white paper on
Donald Trump.”
“He is not a serious
Republican candidate, and many of his positions make him better suited to take
on Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary,” the group said
in a statement.
6. Christian Conservatives: “I have a great relationship with the entire
Christian Coalition. I have amazing friendships in that whole group. And I love
them and I respect them. And you know, I think I have great, great
relationships,” he continued in the
same Fox News interview.
7. Americans who don’t like getting ripped off: “Maybe most
importantly, I have great relationships with the people of this country that
are tired of being ripped off by China and by OPEC and by everybody else that
does business with us. And they’re just draining trillions of dollars out of
the pockets of our citizens. And I have great relationship with them,” he
added in
the Van Susteren interview.
8. Scots, particularly those from Aberdeen: “I have a
great relationship with the people of Scotland and an unbelievably good
relationship with the people of Aberdeen,” he
said in June while protesting wind farms planned for the Aberdeenshire
coast near a golf course he owns.
“The people in Aberdeen love
me, we have a lot of people employed and they love Trump.” Trump’s
development on the Scottish coast prompted massive backlash from locals and
environmentalists over the destruction of grasslands and dunes, prompting a
particularly hostile documentary “You’ve Been Trumped” that
portrayed the real estate mogul as a vain bully.
9. Indians: “India is
a great country. I love Indians because they are amazing people. I have a great
relationship with the people from India. I know many of them so closely because
they like to live in Trump Towers in New York City and other places,” Trump told an Indian
magazine last year.
10. Russians: “The
Russian market is attracted to me,” Trump told Real
Estate Weekly in 2013 after the Miss Universe contest he owns took
place in Moscow. “I have a great relationship with many Russians, and almost
all of the oligarchs were in the room.”
11. Atlantic City, NJ: “I have a great relationship
with Atlantic City,” Trump
said after a new CEO was appointed to Trump Entertainment Resorts
Inc., a company that owns three casinos in the city and has struggled with
a slew of bankruptcies and big losses.
12. Everyone: “I
get along with everybody,” Trump told
Anderson Cooper on CNN recently. “People love me, and you know what?
I’ve been very successful, everybody loves me.”
NOTE:
Everyone could not be reached for comment on this at this time, and a spokesman
for Trump also did not respond to a request for comment about everyone.
Thanks for stopping by.
