Your 2016 Presidential Candidate Speculation Thread

don't you mean Carlos Brown

Jeb running is like Chariots of Dipshit

nuce to see MomBar on the right b.g., having been waterboarded into enthusiasm

Jeb running is like Forest Gump.

"So, ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our country great again," Trump told the crowd, in a lengthy and meandering speech that hit on his signature issues like currency manipulation from China and job creation, as well as taking shots at the president and his competitors on the Republican side.

"Sadly the American dream is dead," Trump said at the end of his speech, promising to bring it back to life with his run.

Just over four years after he came closer than ever to launching a campaign before bowing out, Trump made his announcement at the lavish Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York, laying out a vision to match his incoming campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again."

The 68-story tower venue Trump used Tuesday is more than just the backdrop to Trump's presidential announcement, instead becoming a physical embodiment of what Trump is bringing to the table and the challenges he'll face as he formally enters politics.

Trump has already billed himself as the "most successful person ever to run for the presidency, by far," pointing out even that he owns a "Gucci store that's worth more than Romney."

I feel like that running jpg is just screaming for some 'shops - get on it, internet

sorry, i'm too busy imagining trump actually ending his speech with "Sadly the American dream is dead," and walking off the stage, perhaps running back on to remind everybody of the value of his real estate portfolio

the Apprentice is a v popular show iirc

xp

use your Trump cards to strike popular deals!

oh yeah i 4got he has a show

Maybe not for long - I remember reading that a big reason he walked back from the brink of his last "run for president" was that it would have required him to give up hosting The Apprentice (or forced NBC to give each of the other candidates their own prime time show, I guess). So if he's in "for real" this time, maybe he's gonna hand off hosting duties to one or another of his horrifying spawn?

lol donald trump is not "really" running for president donald trumps entire purpose in life is to generate publicity for donald trump which everyone happily plays along with because he is so comically hateful

he's the trump, we're the chumps

operation: chumped by trump

@DennisThePerrin
Jeb Bush is THE GODFATHER III of candidates.

good primer on the donalds fake/inherited money http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/23/business/yourmoney/whats-he-really-worth.html

1982 Wealth: Share of Fred's estimated $200 million fortune. Forbes explains: "Consummate self-promoter. Building Trump Tower next to Tiffany's. Angling for Atlantic City casino." Forbes quotes Donald: "'Man is the most vicious of animals and life is a series of battles ending in victory or defeat."'

So basically Trump is most politicians if they were less humble.

he should have used that in his speech

Do we need another thread to carry us through fall? This one's long already.

I guess we could make it "official"
