Donald Trump calls for boycott of Mexico

Donald Trump calls for boycott of Mexico


By Carl Campanile

 July 17, 2015 | 11:56pm

Surging in Republican presidential polls following his attacks on illegal immigration, Donald Trump is now advocating a US boycott of Mexico.

“I’m not going to Mexico. And I don’t think anybody from this country [should],” Trump said on the Rita Cosby WABC radio show.

“I think we should boycott Mexico, frankly.”

He blasted the Mexican government and court system as corrupt.

“I have a judgment for a million dollars in Mexico. I can’t collect it because the court system is so bad,” he said.

Trump has provoked a backlash for saying that Mexicans coming across the border are drug-runners and rapists.

On another front, Trump showed his soft side.

Sounding very much like President Obama, he said every American is entitled to health care.

“I want health care for everyone,” Trump said. “We have to take care of people that really can’t take care of themselves.

“You can say that’s not a conservative way. Well, if it’s not, that’s going to be a problem for me. But I don’t think it will be.”

Boycott?  We need to invade Mexico and get back your million bucks.

Yes, Don, that is not a conservative way and it will be a problem for you.

Personally, for me, he's behind the eight ball on this one.  I refuse to buy produce and goods from Mexico and haven't for at least the past 5 years if not longer.  If it's stamped "Mexico" I either do without or find a similar produce/product grown or made in the USA. 

As for invading Mexico ... that would certainly resolve a lot of issues; but I highly doubt that is in the grand scheme of things.

Bush is the only other Republican running? I didn't know that.  This  "if you are not supporting Trump, you must be supporting a RINO",  is really getting silly.

Yes.  It most certainly is.

It's a nonsensical position to hold.

(Especially since Trump isn't even remotely a conservative on most issues.....)

Yep. Many of us here came from FR, during The least two elections, tired of the handful of hard-headed posters, who had no respect for people supporting other candidates but theirs, and Jim who ran FR was no different.    I grew tired of it and left. The conversation here was far more intelligent and objective, and with  disagreements rarely getting overheated.   hope that's not changing with the new members coming in.

To me there's a big difference between taking a position on Trump one way or the other, and continually launching verbal missiles at an entire political ideology.   But that's just me... :pondering:

First...I'm no Trump groupie.

Secondly, we had Mitt Romney as our candidate in 2012.  The 'Father' of Universal Health Care for the citizens of Massachusetts.

That didn't seem to mean much to the Republican Party back then and it won't be a problem for Trump in 2016.

Obamacare is not going to be repealed.  It may be remodeled, but that's about it.

We Conservatives need to realize that we're essentially a pimple on the politic arse....nothing more.   

We're wildcards...not division leaders, and therefore lack "home field advantage".

No even suggesting that you learn the trump cheer but you have a habit of calling those who disagree with you stupid and I am not going to just sit here and take it.
We can agree to disagree, I am ok with that.  Trust me, I am no cheerleader for Trump but I want to know who is where on issues because by the time the primary hits Virginia the good candidates usually have been knocked out and I have to pick among the be best of the worst.

And I will resent being told I am stupid and low information voter... so you may do as you wish.

My apologies if you take things personally. Not intended personally.

I expect Trump will eventually say something so outrageous, his even his present devoted supporters drop him.

Did you hear Trump said that McCain was no war hero, because he got caught (POW)? As a veteran, I resent that statement coming from Trump, or from anybody that dodged service because of his father's wealth.

And as a longtime conservative, I resent Trump damaging the party where conservatives come from.

No apology necessary but if you want to be taken seriously, then you need to lighten up.

As far as Trump goes, not my first choice but if he is the last man standing then I gotta pull his lever.

Over on FR they are swearing that McCain wss a traitor as a POW.  I don't know what that was about but I wasn't going to try to argue with them.

That is not what Trump said.
Quote
“He was a war hero because he was captured,” Trump said at the Family Leadership Summit, in Ames, Iowa. “I like people who weren’t captured.”

So, in order to be a war hero you have to be captured?
Mccain has been out of it for 30 years but was a POW for 5.  Does his POW status take precedence over his abuse of his position?
What about the troops that were not captured and did not marry megamoney?  They are not heroes?

You're stupid. You know exactly what Trump was trying to say.

He's despicable. Stop defending him. He's got a shotgun mouth.  Trump never served anywhere.

And where did McCain "abuse his position"?  McCain was given a chance to leave and didn't because he knew it was for propaganda purposes. McCain was beaten so severely he can't raise his arms above his head.

And here you are defending that sonofabitch Trump who isn't fit to carry John McCain's dirty shorts.
