CNN

Republicans can't save themselves from George Bush. They let Bush do whatever he wanted from 2001-2006 without oversight and continue to enable this abuser.

Anybody that doesn't see the dire situation he has put the United States in, is like someone driving down the road speeding that just missed the sign that said
"bridge out ahead". Pretty Soon you'll be be falling off that cliff taking your entire country with y ou.

Come on People , The Trumpster is right.

First time in history I can remember ,the American dollar is lower than European money.
Big ONE here – There are weapons of mass destruction – Where are they ?

Another Big One – Sadam Husane massacred 20,000 people and hung for it.

Since Bush invaded Iraq- (You did notice I said Bush) – Invaded Iraq, more than 655,000 Iraqis have died (BBC NEWS REPORTS) since 2003.

Who is going to hang for this ?

(655,000 LIVES) This does not include US military Life !

I am not putting down any US military person or individual , I praise their bravery.

Truly, I feel most have died from a Lie of misleading the American people of terrorism everywhere, maybe here ,, maybe there , maybe over yonder.

The fact is , we did not stop terrorist on American soil ,, we definitely can’t stop it chasing ghost on foreign soil. ( Its all smoke and mirrors) if we continue to believe this.

Lets take it Home – Here in the US.

More people are out of work than I have ever seen in my Lifetime – You cannot go by the so-called unemployment rate , because once an individual has maxed out on unemployment benefits the individual just becomes an un-known statistic.

Companies- WoW -this is Huge. Just in the small counties I live in , more than 40 – Large well know companies have called it quits under the bush Administration. Companies that have thrived ever since I was just a small boy.
Last time it was this bad was under the last Bush Administration.

Trump is right – Bush should go hide in shame.

It is beyond comprehension that anyone in their wildest dreams would fantasize that Bill Clinton or any other person, Republican or Democratic, would have done nothing about 9/11. Bush did the same thing that any other person, even you or me, would have done. He made speeches about how we would bring the person who caused this to justice (still not true after six years) and rallied the support of other nations (which has largely disintegrated due to his incompetence). Name anything that he did that you would not have done if you were president on 9/11, except, of course, for reading "The Pet Goat" while hundreds died in our cities.

Trump is a clown, like all the liberals in this country. Money obviously does not make you smart.

I agree with M. Trump for once. President Bush has destroyed the good name of the Republican Party. His war is a total disaster and so is his views on immigration.

Remind me what "The Donald" has done to protect the country, especially back during the Vietnam War era when the pressure of the draft forced most of us red-blooded American males into the armed forces (I, myself, ended up serving in Vietnam and retiring from the Air Force). President Bush, who Trump and other worthless "opinion makers" belittle for his military service and also leadership of our military, should know that Bush graduated from Basic Military Training School as an Honor Graduate in 1968, before getting his commission as an officer in the Texas Air National Guard and going to pilot training, already an achievement few people (including big-mouth Trump) in this country can claim. Bush flew the F-102 Fighter-Interceptor, the sole mission of which was to shoot down Soviet bombers which would be heading toward the U.S. mainland in a nuclear attack. His type unit was never deployed to the Vietnam theater, so he could not have gone there if he had wanted to without leaving his unit and re-training in another aircraft of some type. By the way, brave Donald, it was dangerous, by its nature, to fly any military aircraft, particularly fighter jets, but the F-102 had a worse than normal accident record, as I recall from my tour in the command (Air Defense Command) that controlled them. I happen to be proud of my president and wish Trump would be the one to go into hiding. Please Donald, do us that big favor.

The Donald's opinion unlike those of us who can only spit our opinions on these comment pages will reach a much broader audience. It's also important to note that alot of these celebraties have seen alot more of the world than you and I have and just might have a little better insight and knowledge of what's really going on than the rest of us who just know what they've been fed by the controlled media.

If Democrats win then we might as well start calling America a communist country. Donald Trump needs to stick to what he is good at ...whatever that might be...

As for Bush, he has done a great job...and how dare people insult him for the iraq war or doubt what he does. Democrats need to get over it and respect the people that are fighting for the country that we live in.

TIME FOR TRUMP TO GET A HAIRCUT !

Donald Trump should shut up and thank the Lord that he was born into an incredibly wealthy family that could, and would, support his failures and successes.

Donald just had a bad hair day – oopppps – I forgot – everyday is a bad hair day for Donnie boy. Just go dig a hole and hide in it donnie boy

It pays to proof read.

Should read: Hillary? Bill? Kerry? There's quotes from all of them about Sadam and his anti UN ways (kicking out the inspectors, WMDs etc.). Hell, Clinton was the one who initiated our national policy of regime change in Iraq. How convenient for the democrats that most people forget what they said and how they voted and prefer to trash one guy. Our president.
Takes more than one guy folks.
None of them (current crop of democrat wanna-bes) are strong enough leaders. None! They all get their marching orders from Soros.
Hillary will say anything and is constantly shifting her stance. She learned to do that from Bill. Any smart voter would see that. The record is out there. The media won't tell you.
We've become collectively stupid. The man on the street is ignorant and disengaged. We get what we deserve.
It's time to take our country back. Please don't give it to the Clintons again. I beg of you.

The ignorance in this country is astounding.
Bush lied blah blah blah.
If so what did everyone else do? Cross their fingers when they spoke out against Sadam?
Hillary? Bill? Kerry? There's quotes ne of them are strong enough leaders and they all get their marching orders from Soros.
Personally I'd love to see Newt go for it.
Have you listened to him? He makes the most sense. We've got to stop this extreme partisan bickering. It's like two idiots in the park arguing who's sh#t doesn't smell.
Blame Clinton, Blame Bush blah blah blah blah blah.
We need to take back our country.
Read Laura Ingrahms book if you have any courage. She too has the right idea.
Donald Trump should stick to Rosie Bashing and we should ignore it.

Look for the money trail,especially with the Donald! Methinks that Donald wants his trade with some terrorist nations resumed maybe? One thing is sure, Trump cares only about Trump.

Trump and Blitzer are clearly idiots. Guilliani is our next President, Hilary is to disgusting

Bush the worst president ever? Have you forgot Jimmy Carter? It took the greatest president ever, Ronald Reagan, 2 terms to straighten out the mess the peanut farmer left this country in. And he's still out there sticking his nose in places he has no business.

Bush should hide? This from a delusional narcissist who was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. Do us all a favor Donnie and hide your obnoxious self.

Another thing he is wrong about is Bush being the worst president ever LOL. I believe that title would belong to the one and only Jimmy Carter.

Trump........thee biggest BIG MOUTH IDIOT OF ALL IDIOTS.............

The Donald thinks he is wise, but in reality he is a fool as many of the proud, haughty and liberals are. As Paul wrote to the Corinthians,
19. "For the wisdom of the world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain." (I Corinthians 3:19-20)

Trump is vain, crafty and thinks he is wise. In reality, he is a fool and if full (fool) of himself.

J. Edward Stevens

Maybe Bush can go hide in mexico. He seems to think we are one.
A true patriot to this country can win the white house. Someone who is far from bush and the clintons.

Good grief, it's depressing to read the
comments left by my countrymen.
Is everyone in America on the internet
as poorly educated as these sad sacks?
Arguing over Trump and Bush!?
They're both rich and arrogant.
They don't care a bit what any of us
think. They laugh at you and what-
ever you think you think.

"gone from this tremendous power...to somewhat of a laughing stock..."? I think Trump must have been talking about HIMSELF! What an idiot. He displayed what a total doofus he is (and a womanizing lecher begging for a sexual discrimination lawsuit) on a CNBC interview today. He was hitting on the CNBC interviewer while spewing idiotic opinions about how "they" lower the fed funds rate but take it away with high oil prices. Does he not understand a free market? Is he a conspiracy theorist that thinks someone is secretly pulling strings on world open-market oil prices? Maybe that's because he earned his money by pulling strings and manipulating people.

Oh that is so true... I laugh at more than I respect our president. I find him a joke.

The donald has no credability.How many times can someone declare bankruptcy,stiff shareholders and creditors and still be view as a financial guru.for the people here that say get your facts straight I live in atlantic city remember the old days of the donald and remember the Taj Mahal was built and he couldnt pay the contractors and the subs who built it.I was one of them that got the old shaft.They could of at least used some lube,would oh hurt less..And CNN well your a lib media outlet so what more should we expect from you.

Donald Trump?? What a blowhard!!
He should keep his thoughts and rhetorical blather focused on lightweights like Rosie. I couldn't imagine The Donald as president.
He should cut that horrible looking comb-over as well!
I think he's insane.
Just my thoughts...

Donald Trump is in no shape to give advice as his Casinos are rumored to be failing. He is power hungry and loves the camera.

After appearing all this year and last with his own first lady of TV "Rosie O'Donnell", Trump cannot be expected to be taken seriously or his political rhetoric. Bush clearly has problems, but the last thing he needs is advice from a realtor/airline owner/condo developer/reality TV (need I say more)spokemodel.

Bush shouldn't go into hiding. He's been hiding who and what he really is for years. I wish the media would stop focusing on the 2008 election and watch what he and his evil puppetmaster Cheney are up to. We're all way too distracted by the blessed prospect of enjoying a new and different president.

I am sooo sick of Donald Trump says this... Donald Trump says that. So, he's very wealthy. Does that mean he has some genius insight into things the rest of us don't? All of these celebrity/actor/wealthy person set should recognize that they aren't any better or smarrter than the rest of us.

Once again, "America's Most Ridiculous Man" proves his worth.

Donald Trump is full of himself and has made all his money by talking others out of theirs. At least President Bush has not sold us out to our communist enemies like his Democrat counterparts.

Its long overdue for Donald Trump to go into hiding and to shack up with his lover Rosie O Donnell.

Sheesh. Go AWAY Donald Trump, you pompous windbag. What do you know about it anyway?

Trump! Shove Off! Why should you care how the public views Bush. He has by no means been a great president, but he has stood his ground like an American should. And as for Trump, all he is doing is contributing enternally to the demise of our great country with his lame and totally pointless "reality" tv shows. Every time that I ever happened to catch a little of the Apprentice as I was thumbing between channels I saw nothing but a bunch of childish, snobish idiots arguing and plotting to undermind someone else. Made me think of a bunch of Democrates! No president is perfect, but a good president is one that stands their ground. So Donald, go build some more over rated, over budgeted buildings and pray some crackpot like Bin Ladin doesn't try and take a shot at one of them.

Trump just got lucky having money. But that doesn't mean he's got the brain. He can't even handle Rosie (potty mouth) O'Donnell. And by the way, who listens to him anyway.

Advice from the guy that thought Ophra would make a good vice president. Oh Please. Rich boy born on thrid base with a gold spoon in his mouth tells us he is a success. Didn't think it was so hard. Oh well even morons can be rich.

TRUMP YOU ARE JUST A BIG MOUTH AND IF YOU AND SOME OTHER JERKS KEEP SELLING OUR PROPERTY OF THE U. S. A. TO ALL THE FOREIGNERS WE WILL BE THE MINORITIES.

Sorry but this election has all been figured out long ago by people you will never know about.

Bush main objective has been his program: " No mexcican drug dealer left behind" that program has been a success for Mr. Bush sonce he has left the door wide open for lawless immigration.

I THING HE SHOULD GO INTO EXILE.

I LIVED IN PERU....AND FUJIMORA WENT INTO EXILE AND IT PROTECTED HIM FROM JAIL FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS. AND I HOPE CHENEY IS HANDLED AS WAS VLADIMIRO MONTISENOS...
HE WAS LOCKED UP AND NOT HEARD FROM AGAIN

Who let this blowhard have the podium on this issue? What a pompus ..!!

Edit this CNN you liberal usa hater
Iran keep use a good new source like yours, oh ya he would just have you all killed for being immoral
Hillary has no chance

The Donald knows more than anyone else about being a laughingstock.

"As for the number that was lost during 911. We have not passed the number lost on that day in over 4ys of fighting in Iraq. You are mistaken and it goes to show that you do not check your stat's. Alone in the Towers we lost a little over 2900, and on the planes another 400 and then you have the Pentagon. that is in one day. You do the math. We will have to be there a lot longer than 4yrs to get to that average".

Here are the real statistics: deaths in World Trade Center: 2603 with 24 still listed as missing; American flight 11 had 88 deaths; United flight 175 had 59 deaths; Pentagon deaths were 125; American flight 77 in Washington had 59 deaths; United flight 93 in Pennsylvania had 40 deaths bringing the grand total to 2,974 with 24 remaining officially missing.

There have been 3,789 U.S. deaths in Iraq including 702 in causes other than combat. So, I repeat:

THERE HAVE BEEN MORE BRAVE U.S. SOLDIERS KILLED IN A COUNTRY THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11 THAN DIED IN THE 9/11 ATTACKS. "You are mistaken and it goes to show that you do not check your stat's. You do the math"

Donald,

It is time you get a respectable hair cut!

Trump is right, Bush should hide and I know a good place. How about a region in Pakistan since it's been suggested that's where Bin Laden is hiding out.

At least GHWB still has his own hair!

Posted By Katherine, Albany NY : September 25, 2007 4:50 pm – Great post on Bush! Right on the money, and Donald and Rosie are left-wing buffoons.

Oh, yeah. Thank GOD for President Bush, a man of Character and Conviction – 2 things Billary and Bubba wouldn't know if it bumped them in the dark...among other things.

Libs – get a clue! Most of the world has hated the U.S. for decades. Libs here hate the U.S., to include CNN – The Clinton News Network – have done so for decades. Look at the moron from Iran that a liberal university just invited to speak. They'll praise dictators and murderers...then attack Our President and Our Troops.

The Donald Duck and his liberal friends have NO CLUE. I thank GOD that my Country is NOT like a European Nation; God help us when that happens.

Republicans should only mention "Bush" if they also use "tax cuts" in the same sentence. Fair or unfair, he's a polarizing figure in the political realm. He needs to let the candidates stand on their own.

At least both Trump and Rosie see eye to eye on the same thing.

1. Bush should go hide in Trump's hair.
2. A Republican will lose in November 08

So why doesn't donnie go get the little teen queen and go molest another teen under the guise of marriage.

Boston/Maine – Says...I would hope that the bible belt would get a clue and vote for the Demicratic party regardless if he goes into hiding or not. Why is it that the Blue states have a higher population and generally a higher average IQ?//////

So...this lib would hope that the Bible Belt would get a clue and become STUPID like Blue-State liberals???

SORRY – Don Tramp does NOT speak for me, and he's an embarrassment to the USA, and to the world. Then again, so are most liberals, like Billary and Osama-bama.

"Oh, and if you're going to throw out blue state stats, why is it those same blue states tend to lead the nation in crime, homelessness and poverty?"
More people on welfare. More people shot down in the streets.

To David in Boston MA:

"I new Donald was a wise man. But I would hope that the bible belt would get a clue and vote for the Demicratic party regardless if he goes into hiding or not. Why is it that the Blue states have a higher population and generally a higher average IQ?"

Posted By David Boston,MA : September 24, 2007 1:22 pm
------------–
Blue States have a higher IQ? Shouldn't that translate into using proper spelling and grammar?
Just a thought from a lowly at-heart Red stater.....

I don't know, David Boston... if your blue state has such a high IQ, why can't you spell your own party's name correctly?

Three marrigaes latter, and what did he have to say? Bankruptcy, divorce, hookers in front of your casino, and what advice do you have to give??? He's fired.

Wouldn't it be better if "The Donald" kept his mouth shut and let us think he's a fool, rather than speaking and removing all doubts?
He and Rosie are a terrific twosome–much mouth and little brain.

IT IS TIME FOR DONALD TRUMP TO TAKE A HIKE. THERE IS NO OTHER PERSON I KNOW OF THAT THINKS SO MUCH OF HIMSELF. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAS HE WALK OVER TO GET WHERE HE THINKS HE IS TODAY

Don't we all just wish this buffoon would just shut the hell up and leave his pursed lips and coiffed rug to his naive eye candy of a wife to deal with!?
C'mon Donald...just shut the hell up, continue with your American dream, even with the help of the Bankruptcy Courts, (that, oh by the way....I help pay for you low life scum)and leave us all without your assinine, liber left, hateful retoric!
You remind me of the pond scum that throws their butts and trash out the windows of their cars, and people that could care less about MY environment with your filthy actions.
AND OH YEH...why can't you just keep your seman spreading piece of hose in your ARMANI trousers and not further contribute to the worlds Fatherless children?!?!
You're SO fortunate that "DAD" SET YOU UP FOR LIFE, otherwise you'd be on the streets, living under some decaying overpass!
you make me so disgusted!!

Donald, when was the last time you were important? Are you releasing another series? Is the Miss USA pageant coming up? Please go back to your hiding place Mr. "I am so smart".

Since when has Donald Trump become such an authority on world and other affairs ... to the point that Mr. Blitzer would want to feature largely boring interview highlights with him over a two day period?! Can't CNN focus instead on talking to others with more experience and savvy, instead of taking this easier – and perhaps more glamorous – alternative?

Want some really reliable advice? Whenever two such moral and intellectual icons as Rosie O'D. and Donny Trump join voices against anyone, its a good bet right-thinking people should enthusiastically embrace the target of their tirades, in this case, President Bush (who has greater moral resolve in his nail clippings than the two of them combined!)

History is going to be good to Bush it was on Reagan. Though Bush is no Ronny he has been right on most issues except immigration. He did the one thing that makes a great president, placed US interests ahead of the world popularity contest!

PS that was 5th Marines

Posted By Susan I, Jerseyville, IL : September 25, 2007 3:29 pm

Susan, God Bless you! You say it with pride and I comend you for that.

I would like to say this. I was a Marine as well and severed with the %th Marines out of Camp Pendelton. I have read many that have either been Marines or they are currently. I don't have any clue where you went to boot camp but the must have forgotten to teach you Honor and Respect. On for your Country and secound for your President. As a Marine you do not have the liberty to question. Not the President nor your recruiter twisted your arm to serve this Great Country. You did that yourself and should have left out of any comment you had to say here that you served for such a Service as the Marines. I stood toe to toe with some of the finest men and of them all not many were happy to be over there but they were damn proud to serve and did it with out crying about it. I am ashamed to have any Military man here speak out about it when of all people you should know that the men you served with, and did not come home, you are a disgrace to them.

Second... Someone said the Iraqies are worse off now then they were then. I would like to know where you got your information from. I served both in the First Desert Storm and I have served in this War. During the first one in 1990 for those of you commenting that were two young to know what year it was. There were towns that did not have electricity at all much less have water. the only ones that did were Saddams people and they were lucky to have it. Today after about 4 yrs of working by the many Americans over there trying to make it a better place than it WAS. Those towns now have utilities. Both electric and water. Yes you are correct they have it sparingly and that is to make sure that all are able to have some and not just one or two town having it all. I bet they like having what they got.

As for the number that was lost during 911. We have not passed the number lost on that day in over 4ys of fighting in Iraq. You are mistaken and it goes to show that you do not check your stat's. Alone in the Towers we lost a little over 2900, and on the planes another 400 and then you have the Pentagon. that is in one day. You do the math. We will have to be there a lot longer than 4yrs to get to that average and if that day ever comes it will require you TRUMP lovers to quite your crying over the fact that the Iraqies have to pay 9 cents per gallon of gas V 4 cents per gallon, and pick up a fight to defend the very country that you spit on. I hope that the brave men and women and their families are the only ones that have to bare that burden.

God Bless the United States and who ever has the Strength to lead her, be it Republican or Democrat.

Wow – A guy who has made billions by being a failure in half the things he does, seems to think he knows how to run the country? The fact of the matter Donald, is the CLINTON's made us the laughingstock of the world and Bush has been trying to reverse that. Holding hands and singing Kum By Yah does not always work. Giving away free money and doing what they ask does NOT WORK. Our "current" enemy only knows fear, and a bully we must be – such is the price of freedom.

To think the blue states have a higher IQ is dead wrong. Anyone who thinks HIGHER TAXES, SOCIALIZED MEDICINE, and MORE GOVERNMENT definitely needs to have their brain checked out. We built this country to escape taxes, not create more. Go back and read your history!

I'm by no means a Trump fan, however
I'm totally convinced the future of this country is hopelessly doomed, judging from the ignorance and lack of attention to so many ills brought on by the moron-neocons who seized control of our well being and have:

- swelled our national debt to a level
where our childrens' grandchildren will have yet to climb out of

- exported our work, because 8 digit exec salaries were no longer good enough for anyone

- initiated a pre-emptive and pre-meditated (as in PNAC) war that continues to deplete our resources,as well as our sanity (our foreign policy
is entirely driven by Israel)

- swelled our trade deficit to the point it's a challenge to keep track of…just wait until our credits no
longer any good, as we have no real
manufacturing base of our own left..suppose we'll all just return to self-suffiency

- continue to shower tax breaks on the
ultra-wealthy…don't you know hedge fund moguls only pay 15%, while those who are wiping up cr*p in nursing homes, are paying full rate?

- would rather continue to squander recources to ensure big oil profits, instead of investing in and accelerating work on alternative technologies that will maintain the inhabitability of the planet

- total absence of any intelligent future planning in terms of how future
economies will work within the confines of shrinking resources, over-population, environmental damage etc etc.

And to put the tin lid on it, I see names like Fred Thompson thrown about
within what appears to be serious discussion….all a laughing stock indeed !!

Sounds like a lot of people commenting here have Bush Derangement Syndrome. I'm not going to attack anybody on here because it would be pointless, for those that have BDS, they will not agree with me no matter what I say or how many facts I bring up.
I am proud to be in the best country in the world. The same country that has given more blood for freedom than any other country on this planet combined!

hill can't win...

senators don't win presidential elections....not for decades.

I wish Bush could run again.. He's probably the best Presdient this nation has seen in DECADES!

Trump proves time and time again that money does not equate to class or even intelligence.

A man married as many times as Trump should stick to getting his own life under control rather than advise others.

Apparently he and Rosie are really cut form the same cloth.

Trump is like the "Boy orator from the Platt – an inch deep but a mile wide at the mouth."

Hey Max of Dunnellon, Fl,

He did not expose any "agent", valerie Plame was a known CIA beauracrat (her neighbors knew it so how is it a "secret"...she was not a CIA officer and she would not have the balls to be CI. She was too pretty and slept her way into her position, typical power hungry washington bimbo...No reason for treason. Joe Wilson was incompetent and Valerie was the same....Looosers.

Susan,
Yes Bush is responsible. He sent 3,800 soldiers to die, not looking for bin Laden, but into a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. If other nations disliked us for bashing our president, then how do you explain that Clinton was terribly bashed here and yet is considered a very popular, beloved and respected statesman in those countries?

Bill Clinton tried to kill bin Laden. George Bush had already been in office for 8 months when 9/11 happened on his shift. George Tenet testified to Congress later that he hadn't been in touch with Bush for the month before 9/11 because Bush was already on vacation in Texas. Bush had shots at bin Laden at Bora Bora and didn't do it and Rumsfeld later canceled another mission already in flight to kill bin Laden. Five months after 9/11 Bush said "I repeat, I am not that concerned about bin Laden". He later falsely claimed he didn't say it.

We complain about Bush because of what he has done to our great country. We love our soldiers and want them safe instead of in a civil war. Our military estimates that 90% of the deaths in Iraq are due to civil strife and not the war on terrorism.

Those who support the war should be willing to sacrifice economically like has always happened before. Passing all our debt onto future generations is immoral.

Trump is a rich kid with whom I can only agree when he is debating Rosie. He knows little more about politics than Rosie.

Richard, it was I who said that my life hadn't changed because of President Bush. No, I didn't lose a loved one on 9/11, but Bush wasn't responsible for that anyway, Clinton was, for not doing anything about Bin laden while he was in office. No, I don't have any family members who have served, all are older and served in other wars. No, I don't travel abroad, no intention to, i love it here. And those people are unfriendly, because they see our own people bashing their own president for trying to protect us. How ridiculous. I am working part time right now and on a very low income. NOT because of this president, but because of the president of a credit union, who decided to replace me with his girlfriend. Sounds like a clintonian moment, huh?
I'm just saying, stop all the Bush bashing and start taking back the pride in our country. Bush didn't lose that for us, you lost it yourself. The constant bashing and hate from Americans makes us look bad to other countries, not Bush. It's time for all you Bush bashers/haters to start taking some of the blame for how we are perceived instead of shoving it off on him, just because it is easier.

bush could have taken the clinton route and did nothing after the worst attack in american history!! and the 'world' would have really loved us!! dont you love how people value the 'world'?? who exactly should we want the love of?? russia china saudia arabia iran lebannon syrya germany france???

Anyone with hair like Trump's should run and hide too. What an IDIOT!

Donald Who? The pretend mogul? This is "news"?

Donald should go into hiding and stay out of politics. Trump is a laughing stock.

Someone stated that their life is no different than 7 years ago. It's understandable because they apparently didn't lose a loved one among the 3,800 soldiers dead in the nation that had nothing to do with 9/11. They apparently didn't have a love one wounded among 28,000 injured. They apparently don't travel abroad to see how we have gone from having the sympathy of most of the world on 9/11 and now our president is met by record protests in friendly democratic nations like England, Canada, Australia, etc. They also apparently have made no sacrifices economically because the humongous debts run up by Bush will be paid by future generations. Yes, things are running just as smoothly as when Bill Clinton was president.

Most of these “comments” are the ravings of KOOKs (especially Tommy Birchfield) who populate CNN, and have no clue as to what is going on in the American Government, Politics or anything else. First, to those (including that absolute idiot, Trump) who believe that President Bush is the worst president we have ever had, lest us note that:

–On the day the big bomb fell on Baghdad, Lybia made the call to Washington that it wanted out of the nuclear party, and turned in their weapons. How many Presidents obtained such a concession? May some of you jerks had forgotten that one.

–All the countries which the KOOK liberal believe hate the US because of Bush, are quite happy with his surveillance of terrorists and have joined with him, and some great results have followed. That includes some Islamic countries.

–During the Clinton administration, the World Trade Center was attacked by al Quada (a trial run, which proved that a much larger explosion was needed to drop the buildings); no meaningful response from the US.

–During the Clinton administration, two American Embassy buildings in Africa were bombed by al Quada with heavy explosives, killing hundreds of workers; no meaningful response from the US.

– During the Clinton administration, the Sudan offered Bin Laden to the US, Clinton declined to act.

–During the Clinton administration, the USS Cole was attacked by al Quada in the harbor in Yemen, killing and wounding a number of US sailors; no meaningful response from the US.

–During the Clinton administration, the Dravidians at Waco were attacked without provocation by the FBI under orders from Atty. Gen. Janet Reno and dozens of adults and small children were burned to death.

Would you idiots have President Bush follow the lead of Bubba and do nothing about 9/11???

Do you idiots realize the Clinton administration declared that it was the stated policy of the US Government to remove Saddam from power, because of his possession of WMD; the Congress authorized the President to remove Saddam.(Do not come up with the excuse that the Dems who voted for that action didn’t read the intelligence; it was available) .

Now to Trump, if he had not inherited a lot of NYC real estate, he would probably be tending bar in some gin mill. He has been living on the Banks for years; he owes them so much, they cannot let him fail, or they go down with him. He is currently hustling a “get rich” scheme on the radio in our area (NEPA) ; does any really wealthy person do such a silly and demeaning thing?

Donald Trump is a fool like many, he says the United States was so powerful and beloved before Iraq, yeah right, wonder what they all thought of us before 9/11!! Heads in the sands is why we were hit so bad that day, full of ourselves before the towers, the only thing Iraq war did was prove to us who our real friends are!

It's been stated over and over. "Bush ruined our country" Would someone please tell me how. How do you have it so bad. What has changed in your life that constitutes in your making that statement. My life is no different than it was 7 years ago. In fact it's better. Stop blaming Bush on everything that happens in your lives. Take some responsibility for your own problems. Stop mimicing the liberal news talking points. It's really getting old and tired.

Donald is a very ignorant of the fact that many countries depend on us and look upon us. Many of us don't give a damn about how Iran, Syria, France, Germany, and other heavily muslim populated countries feel about us. If you don't like the US Don – move.

Donald should heed the words of Theodore Roosevelt-1910, titled The Man in the Arena:
“It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out
how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could
have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly… who knows the great enthusiasms, the great
devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows
in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, at
least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those
cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.”
This describes Bush, certainly not the Donald.

We should never disgrace the achievements of Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill by including the name of George W. Bush in any sentence with their names. You can be certain that if either Lincoln or Churchill had been the American president at the time, they never would have read "The Pet Goat" while hundreds died in our cities or played air guitar while people drowned in New Orleans.

Any Bush – Cheney supporter is blinded by ignorance and couldn't comprehend the fact that this adminstration destroyed the very fabric of what America truly stands for. As a US Marine for 7 yrs now, I am ashamed to have been Iraq for these fools. They put our lives in danger becuase of oil and lies. I am disgusted. For all of you commenting, Donald is correct regardless of what you say. Typical comments from rednecks and people from Texas. Most of you in support of this presidency are uneducated. Thats why Bush loves you and lives around you. Thats why he was voted twice, we never wake up!! Until its to late!!

Just because you have some bank doesn't mean I care what you have to say. Stop giving this tool press/tv time. Please.

First, how do you know we're "all liberal, some trying to pretend to be disgruntled Repubs"? Statements such as that are as ignorant as following the President blindly or voting simply based on a candidates affiliation rather than the facts – just as you seem to be doing, Sir.

And speaking of "ill informed," the same can be said of our President. The statement you decided to enlighten us with, "One must walk a mile in someone else's shoes to really know how rough the road is...", really made it's mark. I suppose the President should've actually served in Vietnam if he truly wanted to understand the situation he sent our soldiers into.

First Off, As US Marine who served in iraq etc etc,. Whatever, I agree with one thing, Bush and his entire admin ruined this country. And if you don't believe that – then you should hop on a plane and leave America. I agree with Donald and just becuase he's in the entertainment industry don't call him dumb. He has more money then most of us on here. Thats damn ignorant. Typical uneducated comments. I support is statements and I am sure man marines and soldiers who served would also.

Finally someone says what we all have been wanting Bush and his affiliates to know. I say Donald Trump for President! I was so pleased with the Trump segement. I loved it! It was unrehearsed and truthful on every end. Thumbs up to CNN for the thought and to Donald Trump I say thank you( I couldn't have said it better)The Bush administration has made a total mess of everything they touched. I wouldn't want to have to clean up this mess he's gotten us into, good luck to the next nominee your work is truly cut out for you. Mr. Trump called it as so many of us obviously see it(mess)now. He called everyone out from the President right down to non-negoitiating Condi.
My hat goes off to you.

Donald is right. The respondent who said that the Christian Right would knee jerk support the Republians is wrong. I was part of the Regent U.community from 2002 until April. It is one of the great strongholds of the right, Between August 2006 and April 2007, when I left, opposition to Bush probably increased from 5% to 25%, with his vocal backers becoming silent. This is like Boss Daley's family voting Republican. Bush and Cheney are not man enough to resign and will doom GOP candidates who don't publicaly disavow him in 2008.

George W. Bush is the worst President ever?

O.K. Whatever.

But we're the worst Americans ever as well.

We complain about Iraq as we drive in our foreign oil dependency increasing gas-guzzlers. We blame others for the problems we help exacerbate.

No blood oil?

Much foreign oil IS blood oil. We're all consuming blood oil.

Bin Laden stated, "You steal our wealth and oil at paltry prices because of your international influence and military threats. This theft is indeed the biggest theft ever witnessed by mankind in the history of the world."

Ironically, one of the biggest increases in U.S. foreign oil dependency occurred during the Clinton/Gore Administration. Additionally, greenhouse gas emissions went up a quarter during that same period.

That would make the Clinton / Gore years one of the worse environmental Presidencies ever. One of the worst increases in blood for oil.

Isn't that an Inconvenient Truth?

Ultimately, both Democrats and Republicans have, for decades, been bought by oil – as have MOST Americans. Also, lest we forget, it was a Democrat that created our contract with Saudi Arabia, not a Republican.

Point a finger at Bush, America, but there are three fingers pointing back at YOU.

Inevitably, it's not all Bush's fault. It was also Bill's fault. Jimmy's fault. Ronald's fault and on and on.

Most important, it was YOUR fault. MY fault. OUR fault.

We need to stop blaming Bush and start taking responsibility for our lives. When it comes to oil and foreign oil dependency, most of us live in glass houses.

We, the people, need to declare war on foreign oil dependency now. We need to make better decisions as consumers. We need to make revolutionary changes – all of us.

This is OUR country. If WE don't act, it won't really matter who becomes the next President.

Will we act, or are we too fat, dumb and lazy?

Soultek.com

Thank you Donald Duck, oh I mean Donald Trump, for your comment. President Bush is in good company with President Lincoln and Churchhill. Good men who are the great leaders in history are vilified and never understood, due to their intellect.

Hey Donald go build another hotel,and stay out of the policts thing

Blue states more people and higher IQ? Interesting: Well the Bible does say that not many will follow him(the red states I suppose represent the one's who do follow him)...and the one's that don't follow HIM will hate those that do follow him...(The blue states represent the haters of Christians).

So I will give you 1 out of 2 here...You do have more numbers in the blue states, but what counts for an eternity, you don't have a clue...stay in the blue...

After being inundated with Mr. Trumps radio commercials about how to make millions of dollars like he did and hearing it for atleast 5 – 7 times a day before I leave work. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD MAKE HIM AND THAT IDIOTIC COMMERCIAL GO INTO HIDING. He's an egotistical developer and that's about it. Why should we suffer. Most people see it as a scam. Do you really think he's doing it for you? Leave Bush alone. Time will tell if he was on the mark with what he wanted to do.

Judging by the number of postings, I would have to say that many people care what Donald Trump says!

It's a waste of time to argue about the intelligence of voters by classifying states as blue or red. When the "color" of a state can be determined by as few as several hundred votes, we are making much too broad assumptions.

After Bush's 2000 victory in the electoral college, a map was circulated that showed the country by red and blue counties. Assumably it was accurate and assumably it was created by Bush supporters. It showed that the nation was extremely red in color. While Bush supporters no doubt viewed this as a very positive thing, they overlooked what else it pointed out. Since Al Gore defeated George Bush by over one-half million votes, the map actually shows that Gore must have done extremely well in urban areas and Bush did good in rural areas. So this debate may turn into a question of rural voters versus urban voters.

I looked it up in the dictionary: under laughing stock, it has a picture of Mr. Trump.

David from Boston
Your comment about the blue state citizens having a higher IQ than red state citizens really cracks me up. Does everyone in the Blue states spell Knew wrong? You and Donald do have similar IQ's! However, I bet Donald can spell.

To David Boston, MA
You "new" Donald was a wise man, huh?... You queried "Why is it that the blue states have a higher population and generally a higher average IQ?"

Blue states are graded on a curve.

Get it right about Valerie Plame – her identity as a CIA agent was covert, since she met casually with contacts while 'shopping' and 'dining out' while her ambassador husband drew everyone's eyes. When she was outed, it was easy for other nations to look back and see who she met with and what information was passed. But Bush said he was shocked and that whoever did it would no longer work in the White House, and Rove moved across the street to a new office while Scooter got a pardon. If a Democratic President takes office there will be a full investigation, but until then? Ha.

This guy is rich, so he gets attention.
But if you met a guy with hair like his, who speaks like he does, on the street..... this drivvle would not be taken seriously.

Some of us knew Bush would not be a good President before he took the oath the first time around!

We are somewhat of a laughing stock all over the world, from idiots such as Trump and Rosie.

I am a Republican from perhaps the bluest state in the union, and I travel all over the eastern region of this country, north and south. If anyone from a blue state thinks that they are generally intellectually superior to our friends in the south, they really need to do a little traveling. As for Republican chances in 2008, I think the GOP has at least 4 or 5 superior choices. The Democrats have a truely lackluster field of candidates, all cowtowing to party extremists. It's going to be extremely tough getting back to the middle. Abd really, how powerful can your lineup of candidates be if they cannot face questioning from the Fox News Network? (Which hosted to only meaningful debate so far.) How can they face down our enemies if Brit Hume is too much for them. I'd put my money on Rudy, Fred, Mitt, or McCain over Hillary, Barack, or Edwards in the 2008 Election. Dems are getting lulled into a sense of false security by listening to the mainstream media that they control. I can just see the tears, the hysterics, and the handwringing of the Democrats on the day after the 2008 Election. I've seen it before, it's called overconfidence, or not taking your opponent seriously.

Mr Trump: you may know a lot about marketing yourself and your companies, but I'd LOVE to see you handle REAL world problems that involve people you can't order around like you own them, and can't make flippant decisions about based on your ego's need to control others. Like most libs, you are great at shooting arrows from the dark at the adults making the important decisions, and have no alternate solutions to the very complex problems those adults face. I don't think you could even handle a Mayorship let alone the Presidency. Stick to what you know best: promoting yourself. Oh, and stop putting off the inevitable – just shave your head.

Hide? So too ought you, dear Donald. Your constant commentary on everything from Rosie to George is as equally wearisome as is the Iraq war.

To equal this, now we can ask Rosie too who will get nomination, unfortunatly this country know who is everybody by now, only a fool....

He can hide under Trumps HAIR.

I am so tired of seeing these Hollywood or rich people speak as if they know what is best for the nation. They all speak with such arrogance, and they do not speak for normal people like myself. If Hollywood ran our country, where would we be today? Scarey isn't it?

Donald:
Stick with what you know........real estate over-development.

I thank God every day for Bush. If it weren't for Bush, we would have had Gore or Kerry, and nothing could be worse than that!

The Donald has it right , Bush is the worst president we have ever had.

"The President has made lots of good decisions related to the war" and the main problem is that Bush "is completely incapable of communicating those ideas to the nation."

We have invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9-11 and now has made it easier for al Qaeda to operate there. Over 4 million Iraqis have left their homes. Services such as electricity are greatly diminished. Even gasoline for citizens there has gone up over 30 times what it was. An estimated 90% of the killings are due to civil war. Experts say that Iraqis have little interest in uniting as shown by their leaders recent month-long vacations. We have lost more lives there than in 9-11 and generated the eventual SEVEN largest deficits in our nation's history. And Bush has made good decisions and this is just a communication problem? Get real.

Again, The Donald is wrong. He doesn't even understand the oath the President took and that is the duty to Protect the people of the United States and the Constitution. When celebs open their mouths everyone thanks they have a degree of knowledge on the duties of the office. He is as intelligent as Cher is on the subject. This is why you don't elect people who have TV shows. The Donald knows business, but not the office of the President. Keep your day job.

Arguably the best economy ever (obvious), longest period in 20 years without terrorist attacks (obvious), school scores near 40 year high (Dept of Ed), violent crimes at a 40 year low (FBI report), teen pregnancies at a 40 year low (Dept of Health and Human Services), deficit as a per capita of GNP lower than Clinton (see Wiki) and finally someone getting the hard job done. No one likes us why? We are not letting others get away with the same old you know what like they did before this admin. Maybe Don realizes that being in w/ Hollyweird requires this rhetoric. Made him a lot of money.

There are times that Donald Trump makes Ted Turner look coherent. Who cares what he thinks about national politics? What are his qualifications? Why do the media keep dragging these idiots in front of us? I can't wait to see what other notable intellectual like Lindsey Lohan thinks.
Why watch CNN when you have People magazine as its intellectual equal?

The hair, trophy wives and girlfriends, pompus demeaner, his vacuous obsequious children, all shown to us on TV adnausium. Trump this, Trump that. Is he admired or is he an amusing characature of a rich out of touch dork? For me it is the latter. He may know something about the price New York real estate but he knows little of value about this country or its place in the world. He does provide a good bad example of how to behave in public.

Mr. Trump "yahoos" while counting his millions living under a President Bush who made it possible for him to make millions. Some guys never learn because their egoes are always bigger than their brains. Have fun, Donald, watching George help the GOP win in 2008. Rudolph J. Girandola, Author: The Jade Chalice.

Mr Trump has had his chance to run for President! Please tell me who would want a male Rosie Odonell, as President.

Why does anyone care what Donald Trump says. Everyone talks about what a brilliant businessman he is...I could have been a brilliant businessman if my dad had left me with thousands of square feet of New York office space. It ain't that difficult to make money when 400 to 600 million is given to you in one lump sum

Apparently David from the “Blue State” isn’t part of the higher average IQ group! Learn to spell!! Its Democratic not Demicratic party. You might also want to check on the definition of “new” and its proper use in a sentence. That’s a bold statement of intelligence when you can’t even spell or use basic words in a sentence.
–From a Red States.

Bush the worst? Sorry, that title will always be held by one James Earl Carter. Trump is smart, but really just a con man. He may be a billionaire, but is hardly self made. His father gave him a BIG leg up.

No matter how one may feel about President Bush's job performance, it's a sad state of affairs when we give any credence to the opinion of a character like Donald Trump. One can certainly make a case for him being grouped with the Brittany Spears, Lindsay Lohans, and Michael Moores of the world.

Trump needs to stay at what he does best, shameless self-promotion for a buck...

Oh yeah, he is, and I am responding to him. Brilliant in a cheesy kind of way.

Sort of like Penn or Spacey going to visit Chavez, totally self important and misguided.

This coming from a person, who in the grander scheme of things, is totally irrelevant. Donald, just go do whatever it is that you do and leave the more important and weightier issues for the adults to ponder.

I dont like the man nor do I care for the man... To me, it's just another person's political and PERSONAL view being expressed on TV, too bad for most of us we could just do it right here,however, I agree with Mr Trump... I dont think Freedom of Speech has been suppress in this country yet, is it??? Go Hillary !!!

Having traveled extensively in Europe and the former Soviet Republics, I can agree with Mr. Trump that most of the world thinks of us as power-crazed expansionists led by a clueless madman. Business people overseas cannot understand how the citizens of our country could have been foolish enough to let ourselves be led about like cattle, permitted the relinquishment of our civil freedoms and anonymity, and drive ourselves into insurmountable national debt fighting wars for others while our country is riddled with crime, poverty, and crumbling infrastructure. Perhaps that is why a US dolar is now only woth 65 Euros and one Canadian Loonie.

CNN, it's time to pull this one.

It does not matter what you think of Donald Trump...or it your a democrat, republican or independant...he is right on the money in the interview with Blitzer...he does not put his support behind a candidate he just predicts...he says just what most reasonable americans think who don't have their heads buried in the right wing, christian, conservative, hypocritical, holier than thou SAND...

How could this loser make such a comment. He has failed at every thing he's tried to do. Marriage, building and trades, casion mgt, TV programs that suck. He can't even get a decent hair style. What a loser making comments like this what a shame.

Tell him Trump.....Bush you're fired!

Mr. Trump, in stead of telling Mr. Bush what to do I would suggest you contact him and offer your services as THE NEW SECREATARY OF STATE. Look at all the good that you could do in making deals or laying the ground work for the next administration. This adminstration should all go into hiding. Not just the President. Remember it is easy to criticize, you are better than that. I have faith in you.

Dianne Underwood, Melrose, FL come on up and get your sign!!! Calling Donald an idiot is like calling Bush smart, it's just not true. One can't become one of the wealthiest people in the world by being an idiot. I take it that you didn't make the list of anyone with wealth so its easier to attack someone who has attainted it. The bottom line, Bush is an idiot. Get over it.

In calling Bush the worst president in history, Trump seems to have conveniently forgotten Jimmy Carter.

PS History will show Bush was a great president.

I am extremely impressed that someone like Donald Trump would take time off making money to actually share inciteful comments like these. I'm not being sarcastic; moguls usually have better things to do than expound to mere mortals who earn in the poverty tax brackets. Good for him!

To hide is to say the last 8 years was a sham......a shell game. Surely, the republican party, or a business man with out a heart, who cant even maintain a relationship with Rosie doesnt want to give that message. Trump needs to understand that the people that voted him into to office might not like the results but believe in what is being done.

Roy Remington, come on up and get your deeedeeedeee sign. You republicans always say that you have to defeat them because they are smart and they will follow us here if we don't get them there! HELLO? ANYBODY AWAKE IN THERE? If they are so smart, wouldn't they be here when our MILITARY IS AWAY! No according to you brainiacs, they are going to wait until our SOLDIERS are back and then attack us. If this is REALLY what you believe, then GOD help us!!!! Please everybody, vote democrat not because I'm a democrat but the republicans truley don't have our best interest in mind and if they really believe what they say, then we really can't afford another retard in the whitehouse.

Yeah, that's right...I'll get my political advice from Trump. Go back to where you came from, and let the adults do their job, Donald.

Who the hell is Donald Trump to denigrade our great President George Bush.
He is nothing but, a egotistical crap shooter, I do not like Rosie O Donnell, but she sure had his number. He does not like the President, because the President and his administration do not take ole Donald seriously, his moral background is questionable, we out here can't stand him appearing on your shows, and you do everything but kiss his butt.
He is nothing but lefty speiling their tripe.
He has a nerve, with his background he could never be President, thank Goc

First of all Donald seems to have forgottent hat we are better off today money wise than we were 8 yrs ago. He seems to forget that we have not been attacked since 911 and more than likely will not be as long as we keep the fight over there. Bush did not start this, he merely finished what all of us knew needed to be done but did not have the guts to do it. I know all of you are going to say he is a Bush lover and all that but That is not true. I do believe that Bush has made mistakes and I am sure that he knows it as well. But then again I dont think anyone here would want to have to deal with what he delt with 6 months into office with 911. I went to Iraq and served and untill you have maybe you should try this for once. What kind of message do you think we would send to any would be outsider that we are dealing with that we are all united and right or wrong we are going to stand behind the elected leader of the largest free world till the job is done or they decide we are not longer someone they want to mess with. That is what makes them so sucessfull. They stand behind there Dictator because they want to seem bigger than they are and they want to get into the minds of the people they consider to be weaker than they are. Oh and if you dont think that is true. Ask one of them, they will tell you that you are weak and they would kill you if given the chance.
Take that Donald and enjoy the freedom that the American fighting men and women give you so that you can sit back and look like you are something. Why dont you spend a day over there chating with your friends in the street of Iraq or Afganistan. I didnt think so.

Finally! Thanks to the Donald for speaking the truth. Bush should not only go into the corner, but STAY there and SHUT UP!!! Everytime he opens his mouth, his C average stupidity comes out like a rush! For those who disagree, please wake up and stop following blindly! Don't you idiots get it? HE LIED TO YOU TOO!!!! BUSH IS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN OUR HISTORY!!! He makes Nixon look GREAT!!!!!

Let's just put the Donald and Rosie in a big rocket ship and shoot them into orbit. Talk about someone who is so far out of touch, the guys an absolute idiot!

I do not often agree with "the Donald",but his remarks about Bush are right on. In fact, this administration, especially the pres. and VP, actually succeeded in making Caligula's reign in Rome nearly 2000 years ago look good.

A laughing stock? The United States is a laughing stock? This from a guy who went from doing huge real estate deals to silly TV shows?

Why is anybody listening to Donald Trump?

As for David in Boston, and the rest of his elitist buddies, why don't you guys come up with some new policy ideas. Your policies have only been right once, on Civil Rights.

Lucky you all have such high I.Q.'s. Comes in handy for explaining away the failures. Sounds good, works bad. There must be a joke in there somewhere.

When Trump SPEAKS! Nobody listens.

I used to like Donald, now I see he is just a stuck up arrogant rich jerk...stick to business

>>>>>>>I cannot understand why Bush is not charged with treason.
He expoxed the identity of secret agents.
Would someone please explain to my why.

Posted By Max, Dunnellon, Fl : September 24, 2007 2:48 pm >>>>>>>>>>

Dear Max, Contrary to what you have heard somewhere, there was no crime committed. Valerie Plame was not a "secret agent" when her name was associated with that title. Sorry to burst your bubble there, but millions of dollars were spent to investigate that and no one was charged at all...because it never happened the way that you think it did.

How can he say that Bush is the worst President when we have not been attached since 9/11. Look what shape America was in at the end of Jimmy Carter's term in office. Other countries can laugh at us but we are still the greatest country on earth and one day will probably defend those who laugh at us. We also do!!!

Trump is right all the way. The worst president of the USA ever!

Of course, the idea that a President any President) has caused other countries to somehow turn against us is ridiculous.

America bashing has nothing to do with Bush.

"America-bashing, writes John Parker in the Asia Times, "has ascended from its former status as the preoccupation of a relative handful of Jurassic Marxists, professional victims, Third World whiners, and Islamo-fascist troglodytes to the level of a major new global religion."

Trump is a buffoon, of course.

Whether Mr. Bush hides or not, a Republican will win the Presidency in 2008. Since Hillary Clinton will be the nominee, ANY one of the Republicans currently running...EVEN RON PAUL, will beat her.

"Laughing stock"? Look who's talking. President Bush is leading the world in the war against islamic terrorism. "The Donald" couldn't even beat Rosie O'Donnell!

Don's worried about what the rest of the world thinks of the U.S. Just look at the U.N. and see that the rest of the world doesn't matter. The media in this country has damned Bush for doings what is right. All Americans will pay for that soon enough.

Donald go away. who care what you think. go dye your hair and a decent haircut would help as well.

Good for you Donald ! Its about time
people with position start speaking up!
He should go into hiding. I will speak
up too, go into hiding and hopefully we
elect another president to clean up the
mess you put us in.

Donald has been sniffing to much hair spray, once again he has no idea what is going on.

Thank goodness Bush is in office and not Donald. Let him go bankrupt another company instead of allowing terrorists control the world.

This clown is the biggest dimwit around...he sounds punch drunk since Rosie slapped him around.

Its funny that Trump stated at one time that he couldn't understand why the media was making the economy look so bad since its the best it has been in years. President Bush didn't make us look bad to other countries, it was your Democrat liberal politicians and entertainers that trashed our country in front of the cameras every chance they got. Your treasurous Democrats are to blame.

I am sure that Donald means the best; however, I am unsure what his intent is! Is Donald in the beginning of establishing a political party? Or is he just interested in buying the real estate that the White House sits on.

Donald Trump is 'ABSOLUTELY CORRECT'! I am 47 years old and this is BY FAR the worst president in my life time!

As our local talk radio host said this morning, maybe Bush should appear on Trump's "The Apprentice." Given your ratings lately, Don, that should keep him out of sight.

Here's how Trump operates: he pulls together money from investors under an umbrella corp with his famous name. He does the work and the investors split the profits with him. He immediately sells his share of Trump Cribs and looks for his next project. See, he's not actually mega-rich, he just manages huge amounts of money.

Probably right about Bush, but one of Bush's strangest attributes is that he never sees himself as having been 'wrong' or having any reason to be ashamed. He certainly doesn't think he's done a bad thing by dividing America into Hatfields and McCoys just when we needed to unite in the face of an enemy, and he's going to go on loudly proclaiming that he's bold and resolute and never asks for directions when he's driving. Hide? He'll go on tour!

The reason ther is a hogher population in blue states are the egotistical jerks attract each other. I would not be so sure on the higher IQ aspect. That is a matter of opinion, not fact.

I had to post – I hope you people are this hell bent over the leader from IRAN – VOICING HIS VIEW POINT? Donald Trump is entitled to express his view point! What the BLEEP is wrong with you! WHERE IS OSAMA! 9-11, TERROR FEAR, SAME BS – WHERE IS OSAMA! Stay on TARGET!

Donald is Dumb. Thanks to Bush, he's making billions. He's biting the hand that has fed him.....and his hair is stupid looking.

We need more men like Donald Trump leading and speaking in this country today. The first time I have ever heard the truth on Fox news was this morning. I would like to see this man in our government someday. Give Lying George his due Donald!

At least he is speaking the truth. So many Republican have said the same thing so this is nothing new being said.

Trump is one of the greatest dorks in our time.

I AM SHOCKED THAT CNN EVEN GAVE DONALD TRUMP PATFORM TO SPEW HIS CRAP ON. DONALD TRUMP IS NOT RESPECTED AS A POLLITCAL PERSON. HIS WORDS MEAN NOTHING AND HE KNOWS NOTHING. HE SPOKE ABOUT HUGO CHAVEZ BEATING PRES BUSH, TRUMP KNOWS NOTHING. I LIVED IN VENEZELA FOR YEARS, AS A EX PAT WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS WORKING . WHILE IN CARCAUS THERE WAS A RALLY AGAINST VOTING CHAVEZ IN AND HIS MEN SHOT THE PROTESTERS. CHAVEZ IS A BULLY AND IF YOU GET IN HIS WAY YOU END UP DEAD. ANY ONE WHO THINKS HE IS SMARTER THAN OUR CURRENT PRES NEEDS A REAL EYE OPENER. ASKING DONALD TRUMP FOR HIS OPINION IS LIKE ASKING PARIS HILTON HERS.

What do you mean, Trump, " go into hiding "? He's been in hiding since 9-11!!! After the stunt he pulled in the " bait and switch " ploy, from Afghanistan to ( what was formerly known as...)Iraq, he has been in hiding. The only time he shows up in public are venues that have been cherry-picked, so as to minimize the public disdain that would be showered on him and his, even more incompetent, running mate, Chainy. Let the two Incompetents ride off into sunset after their term has ended, never to be heard from again!!!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE. NOW.

worst president? Has he ever heard of Jimmy Carter?

I agree, Donald. Bush is a huge liability to his own party and should step aside now before it is too late. He is by far the worst president I have seen in my lifetime.

If Mr.Donald Trump is so smart, he should run for President! Let's not forget, his plan for new 'Twin towers' at ground zero in NYC, landed him flat on his face! Sometimes, he should just put his money, where his mouth is. If he runs for President, it would be interesting, to say the least.

The Don has hit the nail on the head. I'd recommend Bush find that corner in Iraqi or Afghanistan!!!

I'm surprised to hear Trump speak this way about a Republican. I don't like Trump but we both agree that Bush is the worst President in the history of this country.

Dear Posted By Tricia M Charlottetown, PEI : September 24, 2007 6:01 pm

You need a history lesson, fast. Americans have been helping and supporting other countries from the get-go. Many who have no oil at all. Do you remember the Gulf War? Did we take any oil? NO. And, even if what you said is true, do you drive a car? Buy goods in the mall? Eat produce that is imported across country? Just how do you think that happens? OIL. If we could drill in ANWAR [which is another story] we might be able to do with less foreign oil. Having said that? Which country do you want control of oil? Saudi Arabia? Iraq? Syria? or the U.S.? If not the U.S., then you need to take your poor history and go live there. At least there, you get a free camel ride with your male guardians.

Donald – you should stick to business. A leader of a country cannot hide. It is incumbent of the President to lead – no matter how difficult. The Republicans lost in '06 because they feared losing and abandoned their conservative values.

now that's funny. donald trump calling someone a liability. he's the biggest joke on the planet. let's hear some more of his wife telling us how much they have sex every day because that is so classy and professional. he's the biggest non-talent on the globe. nice hair-do Donald. and those great management techniques on your show only express what a bullying, classless act you really are. i'm a poor man and wouldn't change places with you no matter what.

I can not stand Donald Trump but I must say that I am in total agreement with him on this subject. I feel that Donald reacted inappropriately and childishly to Rosie O. I do feel in his comments regarding President Bush that he is hitting the nail on the head. Bush is the worst President in history and has made a laughing stock of the United States. I never thought I would find myself agreeing with Donald Trump but I am behind him on this.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Donald Trump has ALWAYS been an idiot and still is. Open that mouth wider, Donald, so you can stick both of your feet in.

I think The Donald is right you Americans are becoming the laughing stock of the world with Bush running your country, get a clue.

Arguing about Trump is NOT what should be the discussion here. The direction of topic should be on what he said. Isn't it time all true Republicans quit backing this President and admit he will go down in history as maybe the worst ever. This countries direction is terrible because of this administration in every way possible. No one is to blame more than Bush. I say again, Isn't it time for the true Republicans to admit this and find a way to move on?

Donald should go and hide--OH!--and don't forget your hair!

Can anyone take seriously any comment made by a spoiled filthy rich attention grabbing egomaniac who was last heard from while arguing with Rosie O'Donnell? I think not. If anyone should shut his mouth and go into hiding it is Donald Trump.

Funny, one idiot gives opinion about another idiot, fact is they both idiots.

Who is he??? Why does it even matter what Donald says? Why does CNN even waste our time with this jerk who only wants to be in front of cameras? – CNN should let him stay with the tabloids!!!!

As typical style of Donald Trump, whose been in a slump, now wants to dump, why don't he do us a favor, and shut the heck up! Hey, Trump, you bum, why don't you do what you do best, beat your gums someplace else, who asked for your 2 cents.

Maybe Bush can hide under Donald Trumps toupe`.....

Never mind Donald Trump, I am waiting to hear who Homer Simpson will endorse for President. He brings fresh insights to the issues of immigration, green energy and the problems of raising a family while working for an evil capitalist so typical of the energy czars who have flourished through the Bush years. Come on CNN, tell us who Homer has endorsed.

<-- Not a big Donald fan but he is dead on. Bush should be held for war crimes muchless be President of the United States.

I just hope that the American people have woken-up out of there stupor that got this moron elected.

Too bad Trump is a political idiot. This is a ridiculous statement. Any sane person knows that when we have a Republican President our country is safe. Otherwise Bush would have never made a second term. Trump needs to go back to what he does best, and that is fueding with the likes of pigs. He knows what I mean. Nice try though. The smart people of this country will put the right person in the Presidential seat.

"When Monica was in the whitehouse we were the joke of the world, feared by none?" The only people laughing were immature Republicans who couldn't hink of anything better to focus on (Like Al Qaida) If the same situation had come up in any other civilized country, they would've politely changed the subject back to running the government.

Giggling about dubious sexual exploits when more important issues need to be addressed is something best left to the high school boys' locker room. Allowing a mindless narcissist to win the White House not once but TWICE?

Welcome to The 21st Century, U.S.A., international fodder. And anyone who questions whether W. will go down in history as the worst President America has ever suffered through simply hasn't been paying attention.

It's time to start paying attention, and if it take The Donald to get you Bushie's out of your coma, I'll take his comb-over over your coma ant day of the week.

President Bush should continue to do his job. PERIOD!

I doubt my post will make it. We'll see. During the Clinton years there was an agency called "The United States Information Agency." It ended Jan 2001.

They had an "Office of Research and Media Reaction". On August the 10th 1998 they posted worldwide reactions to the bombings of our Embassies in Africa.

Read the different reactions to what happened, and what they thought should be done. (Amazing stuff!)

Some didn't even like us! (Hmmmm, so it wasn't just Pres. Bush after all!)

This was PRE- President Bush after all!

The common theme was that something had to be done about Terrorism. Muslim fundamentalists, radical Islam.

Read it if you really want to know the truth!

Quit supporting TERRORISTS and start supporting the UNITED STATES, our troops and this honorable man President Bush, whose stayed the course for good reason.

President Bush isn't Rosie O'donnell Donnie boy. What a loser Trump turned out to be. All people have a weakness for Donald Trump it's the media spotlight. He's too ugly and untalented to act or sing so he sneaked into the limelight through the back door.

What a shame I used to be a fan, but he's just a pathetic insecure man now.

CNN certainly agrees with Trump. That's why they've made it news. And the notion that Blue states having a higher IQ than Red states is in itself ignorant. Resorting to put-downs toward those who do not think like you is a true measure of intelligence. Idiot.

It's a self-fulfilling prophesy. Democrats continue to undercut the U.S. reputation. Democrats will do anything to get elected. How many people can we get to hate a person? Look at all of you Democrats in here– 'oh great, another person to hate Bush, isn't this great, finally more people hate him'.

Donald is spot on, bush is the "worst president ever" in U.S. history.

Sad but true. Having a bush sighting is going to be the kiss of death for GOP candidates in 08.

Support his policies and suffer the consequences of his crimes.

Donnie Trump's gotten WAYYYYYYYYYYYY too big for his britches. Bush, while reviled by many, is far from the worst president ever. Lord. He's not even in the Top 10! James Buchanan, anyone? The guy who couldn't keep the Union together? How 'bout Martin Van Buren? Calvin Coolidge? Herbert Hoover? Jimmy Carter?

Please.

Idiots who insist on running around saying Bush is "the worst president in history" don't have a clue. They just don't.

To say that Bush is "probably" the worst president in American history is just plain silly. You can't be president during one of the greatest economic runs in the history of the U.S. and be the worst President of all time. Besides, has Trump ever heard of Jimmy Carter? Now that presidency was truly horrible!

Donald Trump.LOL......his opinion and comments are about as important or as listened too as the sound of a terd floating in toilet water. It seems just about a year ago he was praising BUSH and his policies. Talk about having integrity.

Sorry folks. All the republican candidates can offer us is more of the same GWB BS. More war and more tax cuts for the wealthy. The whole republican platform sucks.

The last part of that article "....tremendous power respected all over the world to somewhat of a laughing stock" was hilariously ironic.

I guess Trump is too busy wearing a chicken suit on SNL to notice he just described himself to a gaudy GOLDEN T.

I used to have great respect for Trump way before the tv show back when he wrote his books such as the art of the deal. This guys has become too aware of himself since then. He needs to learn when to shut up. I guarantee you that our dead enemies aren't laughing at us. Trump used to be a tough patriot and now he is a joke.

The action of white house in last 7 years has portrayed a great nation as a petty thief who made up stories to steal someone oil. Everybody made mistakes. germans elected hitler and US elected Bush. Germany suffered from Hitler disastrous policies.

Fascinating contrast here. Donald Trump who has the world's largest inferiority complex is advising George W. Bush who has the world's largest superiority complex.

The Donald is Jewish ( by birth, not relgion). Inasmuch as 95% of Jews do not support or even give Bush a 50-50, there is no surprise or news here,

Another reader said that the lead candidate has alienated the core of the Republican party. I'm assuming they mean Rudy Guliani. If so, they are wrong, wrong, wrong. Why does Guliani continue to lead in the polls? Because he has alienated the core? The core of the party is generally disgusted with so-called conservatives. As long as Rudy is tough on illegal immigration, he'll get the nomination. Roe v. Wade is the least of our concerns right now. JMO

I new Donald was a wise man. But I would hope that the bible belt would get a clue and vote for the Demicratic party regardless if he goes into hiding or not. Why is it that the Blue states have a higher population and generally a higher average IQ?

one thing is certain, you are stupid, and need some schooling..

Wasn't it President Bush's father's administration that helped bail out Donald Trump's company from bankruptcy? Interesting how he has nothing but complaints now...

Trump – hold your tongue oh exalted judgemental one. Bush may be hated, but his job is far more difficult than he gets credit for.

Carter was the worst president...

I blush for Donald's attempt at intelligence. I'm so embarrassed for him.

I can't believe that people like The Donald are given a forum to make unintellegent and uninformed statements. I don't agree with Bush on a lot of things but I do not believe that we are a laughing stock. Sounds like the Donald has been listening to his friend Mamouhd from Iran.

You should wake up and start believing, I travel to various parts of the world on a monthly basis and it is consistent in every country I have been to, America is the laughing stock of the world and the sooner you realize it and wake up the better. And all you people that are bashing Donald Trump for speaking out which is his right to do so as well as his duty are not even being listened to, people that are reading this blog are laughing at you just like they are laughing at bush. I am absolutely ashamed to have America as my neighbor with bush at its head as I have to constantly defend you people wherever I travel and im sick and tired of it! Please vote responsibly this time around and get your image back so I can once again be proud!

That man that some of us call a joke we put him in office not once but twice after seeing what a mess our country had become, please let's not make the mistake the third time. And yes Donald Trump is right regardless who he is. The truth is the truth.

even with the issues i have with trump over all the rosie o'donnell crap, he could not possibly have said it any better,clearer or RIGHT ON THE MONEY, with those comments...: Bush is BY FAR the WORST, DUMBEST prez..........EVER!

the laughingstock is Donald Trump.

Like it or not, Guillianu will beat Hillary. That is a fact and everyone knows it, and EVERY poll has shown it.

As a fan of Donald and a Republican who voted for Bush twice, I have to admit that after 6 years, I made a mistake. Taking his eye off OBL and invading Iraq with no exit plan, his spending habits, his courtship of Mexico and how he has alientated most of the world has to place him up there on the mantel with worst presidents ever. I can only hope that we vote in a good Christian family man like Rommey who can bring some discipline and respect back to our country.

Donald was apparently sleeping in the 80s when nearly all of Europe was in the streets protesting Reagan.

Ask Washington, Lincoln, Kennedy, and Reagan. At one point in all their presidencies they had extremely low approval ratings. It is not about the polls. It is not about pleasing bimbo billionaires. It is about doing what is right.

Donald is many things, but he is no leader. I would love to see him run so his massive ego can be stomped.

Wasn't Trump in cahoots with Frank MacKay of the Independence Party about running for President? I think I saw that on CNN a whiles back. Maybe Trump will get himself into the race and have Rosie as his running mate LOL.

I have never agreed with much of what Donald Trump says, until now. I agree that President Bush is probably the worst President in the history of the United States. ( I'm hopeful that we will never see one that is any worse !!!) I am a middle of the road voter and can't wait until the election of 2008 just to finally close the door on the Bush administration. The arrogance is only topped by the incompetence.

How rich would the "Donald" Duck be if his daddy had not staked him. You don't have to be smart to be the son of a rich man. Ask Hill.

I agree with The Donald completely. If the Republicans in Congress do not distance themselves soon from the Administration, there may not be a Republican Party after the coming elections.

The Administration is a complete and total disgrace. They are, intellectually and functionally, morons.

I have been a lifelong Republican but now I do not know where to turn. Neither part seems to possess any dignity, civility, or desire to achieve the nation's business. Power and money are the only remaining coin of the realm.

The flat out lying, the perfected practice of personal destruction, the constant distortion of reality in hopes that their hallucinations will somehow become fact are beyond my comprehension.

The final travesty in all this is that I voted for them, unable to believe what was right before my eyes. May the God they profess to have some intimate knowledge of please forgive me.

I wish Trump had the authority to say "BUSH, YOU'RE FIRED", and make it stick!

Since he doesn't, I hope Bush campaigns like all get out for GOP candidates in '08. He's the kiss of death, and would drag them down to defeat wherever he shows up.

R.I.P GOP!

Ok now that all of you have had your agreements and thrills. Lets get back to reality. Before you go to bed tonight ask yourself if you would be better off had Bill Clinton been in office when our country was attacked.
If you think yes then Hillary is your choice. If you think no then the Republican nominee is your choice. George "W" Bush is a blessing in disquise to this country and will go down in history as a President with very good strategic vision for our country as well as man with faith in the Lord which has made this country great as well as our founders. My family and I sleep well at night knowing we have this dedicated man in charge of this great country. I would ask everyone to look real hard at what is best for our country before you check that box in the voters booth.

President Bush has more integrity in his little finger than "The Donald" could muster up in his lifetime. The Donald should do us a favor and walk off into the sunset with Rosie (they deserve each other) and spare us his gasbag rantings and ugly hair!

Bush is the laughing stock of the world – oh, really. If that is the case why is it that the Canadians, French, and Germans elected pro-Bush, pro-American leaders and turned away from anti-Bush, anti-American candidates? And why would a respected world business leader like Jack Welch, retired from GE, state that under this administration's leadership the economy has been nothing less than phenomenal – especially in light of 9/11, Katrina, the Iraq war – that we have created over 10 million jobs since Bush took office, while Europe has created less than 200,000 and Japan less than 2 million? When it comes to evaluating healthy business progress and environments, I think I would go with the opinion of Jack Welch over Donald Trump any day. As well, there is no telling where this world would be if Bush was not making a stand against the radical Islamics that want to rule the world – and that is not an opinion – that is their stated goal – just read their websites.

"Bush "should just go into a corner and say 'Okay, that's it. I am finished. It's over.'""

Wow, even the Donald seems to forget that Bush is NOT running again. Egotisical clown, such a knowledge of politics, this one has.

Typical remark from an American robber-baron elitist who never gave a day of military service *(not even National Guard!) – therefore irrelevent drivel.

Donald should be ashamed to keep making these stupid comments. He is a loon and should go hide himself.

What is it about Bush that generates such hatred from liberals? He spends like a liberal. He created a huge new welfare program (drug plan) like a liberal. He wants amnesty for illegals, like the liberals. What is it? Iraq? Clinton bombed them, Bush just took it a step further and invaded. Really, what would you libs have done differently? Hell, FDR is a liberal hero, and he set up concentration camps for US citizens.What did Bush do? Trace phone records of suspected terrorists? Yeah, that's equivalent.

well, it's possible for The Donald to be an idiot and to be right about Bush.
but then, we all think Bush is also an idiot too. right? although we're republicans, we think that Bush is an idiot too. It takes one to know one.
we're voting for Hillary as a rebuke to Bush & the neo-con religious whackos who have taken over our GOP party.

Finally, I can agree with Trump on something!

Finally, I can agree with Donald on something!

Donald Trump is correct (for a change!) that our government is seen as a laughing stock. As an American living in the Middle East for the past 10 years I have seen the the dramatic shift in opinion of our government from 9/11 to where we are today. Bush is seen as a type of "dictator" who does what he wants without the consent of Congress or the United Nations. The next President, whether a Republican or Democrat, will have a lot of work to do mending relationships around the world.

Trump has it wrong. We are still a tremendous power. Our power doesn't come from what people all over the world think. It comes from taking a courageous stand for what is right-helping people to be free from tyrants. Why don't you get on board and help fight for freedom? If you don't want to join Bush, how about Mia Farrow in Sudan?

It's official, Trumps an Idiot. He should stick with real estate and Rosie!

"We've gone from this tremendous power that was respected all over the world to somewhat of a laughing stock." Imagine that – going from tremendous power to a laughingstock. Coming from Donald Trump this is priceless...

Trump is right, Bush is WRONG!

George Bush has given his life over to public service and the good of his people. Donald Trump has spent his life accumulating money.

First of all, I wish Donald Trump would go into hiding.
Second, although we know that CNN plants anonymous stories in blogs, so that it can "report" its own staff's opinions without appearing to actually do so, I really don't think that slimy Donald Trump is sincere in his advice to President Bush or anyone else.
Third, Trump is an idiot. A few years ago, CNN and all the other extreme leftists were bemoaning the fact that European countries were veering left and that Bush was alone in the Western world as a conservative. Now, Germany and even France (for Pete's sake!) are headed by conservative leaders. So, instead of a laughing stock, Trump, the US is admired and emulated...unlike you.

The Donald should just sticking to ripping people off with his get-quick-rich real estate seminars. For some reason a lot of people listen to him and throw money at him. He is just like any other democrat. He says he wants to help people as he takes thier money and fills his pockets!

I guess having money gives Trump a forum to make ignorant comments. He is obviously good at what he does, however, making comments like this puts him out of his league. Hiw comments are all self-centered getting him the sound bites or headlines he craves. Donald, my advise; stick to what you know and keep your opinions to yourself. You sound foolish more ofter than not when you enter into places you don't belong.

Why this guy is taken seriously enough to even print as "news" is beyond me. I'm no fan of Bush, but The Combover clearly has no idea what he's talking about.

..."ITS CRIMINAL WHAT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE DONE TO AMERICA'S IMAGE AROUND THE WORLD, AND THE DISASTEROUS RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!

The Republicans have Run the Country rigth into the ground, and have brought America to its KNEES!

A majority of these comments are very telling....all liberal, some trying to pretend to be disgruntled Repubs...how cute! The statements here are so junvenile ..right out of the liberal medias one liners on the nightly news.
I support the President and I am from the wonderful state of Arkansas!! Many will be in shock on election day when the tally ends up showing the red states have won AGAIN! It matters not who runs against Hillary Rodham....she will not win...as in my home state no self respecting man with a family or relatives or friends who have served in the military now OR in the past will stoop to voting for 'Rodham' (that is what she went by in Ark until the local Dem. party leaders told her Bill could not get elected until she started using his name!). So, keep the yucks going Donald, being the laughing stock of "fly over country" with that mop slung over your head, you must really be desperate for attention since Rosie flew out of the "View's" cuckoo nest. So easy for the uneducated, ill informed, and easily swayed people to resort to making catty remarks and show NO class when disparaging our President...as the saying goes "One must walk a mile in someone else's shoes to really know how rough the road is...." To have the 9/11 tragedy as part of your ever waking minute concern is something none of the sad posters here today will ever have to deal with... God Bless the President and the USA.

President Bush has a long long road to reach the depths of the ninties. Remember how China, N. Korea and now the middle east are acquiring neclear knowledge via billy's need for capital and selling out America.

"The Donald" isn't telling us anything most of us don't already feel. Unless Trump plans on running and changing things, he should shut his big motor-mouth. He's just another celebrity looking for a stage to cater to his narcissism.

I can tell this is CNN – So many liberals and so few people smart enough to know that Trump is just a rich dolt with an ego the size of Texas and little real political brains. Just look at his many public fiascos, he is no true brainiac. I see CNN also removed my comment earlier about the Don where I referred to him as a intellectually challenged donkey but remember that he does have a right to his opinion and I wish it was an exclusive right and he would keep them to himself.

Bush is not perfect but people it is easy to blame someone for all the problems in this difficult time. I am proud to be an American and I am proud of our president in these difficult times. You liberals make me sick with all your after the fact knowledge. Arm Chair quarterbacks I say. Little more and probably lots less.

You've got it wrong David. Red State people have more education than blue state people and consequently higher IQ's. David, blue democrat states have the uneducated minorities, the low class Union thugs and the highest taxes in the nation.

Donald Trump is an idiot. If his father hadn't made it rich on Wall Street, Donald would be a nobody. Donald is the last person who should be giving advice to Bush, he can't even handle his personal life. Trump is the fool if he thinks America is a laughingstock.

What we need is socialism and ridiculous taxes.... every "evil" business will leave. Socialism is dying throughout Europe, why do Americans feel that it will work in the United States. 12% unemployment is not a successful or well oiled economy.

David in Boston. Mr. IQ. Learn how to spell you idiot. The astoundingly gifted citizens of Massachusetts have elected John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, and you want to engage in a conversation about intellectual capacity. Wow. You truly are a genius. You moron.

The more Donald Trump, Rosie O'Donnel, Bill Maher, Sean Penn and the rest of the far left liberals (including the Dem candidates) speak their mind and unveil the same talking points as the lil man from Iran, Bin Laden and all jihadists, it makes it all the more clearer who's side Americans should be on.

I cant believe it!!!

For once, I agree with something that "The Donald" said!!

It's time for Trump to go into hiding, he's produced the worst reality TV show in history. He's a huge liability for the reality TV industry, and he's an albatross around the neck of any other business type TV show venture in the future.

Mr. Trump is absolutely wrong that Bush will go down as the absolute worst president of the US. He is making an emotional judgement based on his world view (which is New York City). If he actually stops to think about it, what country right now doubts the US will do what it takes to stop terrorism? Iran? Syria? Why did Libya give up it's chemical and biological weapons? Why did Syria leave Lebanon? Why is Abu Sayyaf being crushed in the Philippines? Why does cooperation between the French, German, and the US intelligence agencies remain extremely strong? Because Bush was right. He made some mistakes budget wise in my opinion and does not appear to be taking the Chinese spy rings seriously but on terrorism, he has been correct. Thirty years from now, history will have a more favorable view of Bush.

Like most folks on the east coast mr trump has no idea what most americans think. Spend some time in the heartland of this country and you will find most people have some respect for our president.

Trump is wacko. As long as the Dems and other liberals don't get ahold of all the text books and remove all record of Jimmy Carter (21% interest rate, 13% inflation, 9% unemployment, high taxes, and, of course, abandoning the Shah of Iran, leading to the Mullahs, the 444-day Iranian hostage crisis, and ultimately Mahmoud I'm-a-nut-job at Columbia University), NOBODY can come close to Carter as "worst president ever". In fact, even if you hate Bush, you can't rate him below Carter, Nixon, or Johnson (just to mention those in my lifetime, which goes back to Truman, never mind "in history").

But with record high GDP, record high employment, record high tax revenues, record high Dow Jones and S&P and a strong response to terrorism (unlike that of Mr. Clinton), and virtually none of which is given any positive coverage by the MSM, it is really hard to put Bush down even that low. At the top are Reagan and Truman, and possibly Eisenhower, and my bet is that in 20 years level-headed analysis will put him at least on a par with Truman. He is clearly above Bush 41 and Clinton, and Kennedy was not around long enough to get properly rated (although he probably would have been 3rd or 4th). Ford doesn't count.

One thing Carter did, though, was play tough with the Soviets after they invaded Afghanistan. He told them "Forget the Summer Olympics, we are not coming over to your house to play, so there, nyah-nyah-nyah". Fortunately, he did not boycott the Winter Olympics, or we would have been screwed out of the Miracle on Ice in Lake Placid.

you're right donald. i am no longer a republican, thanks to idiots like this scum-bag in office now. ron paul people!

Bush is not all stupid, he has shown how the voting process does not work. He certainly showed how having family in office, money, and the appointee's of the family can tarnish any and every election he has been in. Since Bush does make money off of oil and armor, it made perfect sense to go into Iraq..and a staged 9/11 happen to work into that just perfectly...it is amazing if you follow the money trail and who benefits most what one might discover

You are an idiot!

Why can't Trump go hide?

Calling someone "the worst ...ever"... my is that pot calling the kettle black.

Trump has it correct; if you didn't know it before the president was promoting the Kennedy-McCain amnesty program for illegal immigrants; you know it now. Peggy Noonan wrote about it in her piece in the Wall Street Jounal entitled "TooBad" June 1, 2007. She basically, said that conervatives were like the "Battered wife syndrome" and we should know that Bush left the conservatives a long time ago.

Donald should keep his mouth shut when it comes to politics. Expressing your opinion is only going to anger half of the people that will listen. That's a no-win situation, just keep your mouth shut.

Trump needs to focus on how to get his struggling casinos back in the black. First it was Rosie and now its Bush. Trump is so desperate for attention he'll likely be doing the Craig Ferguson show before long.

Sadly, I agree. I don't understand how George Bush has self destructed. He appears to be an honest man but totally ineffective. The real tragedy is that he is setting us up for a third Clinton presidency that will of necessity have a Salvadore Allende ending.

Don,

Too bad it wasn't your realestate that was bombed on 9/11. Bill & Hillary had world trade ctr 1993, Embassey's in Africa, Waco Texas, and SS Cole. Did the world love us then???

Why is it that many people get upset over what Trump said? He just express his views. Many people create blogs to express their views. People who put comment to this blog are expressing their views. I like to hear what he has to say. Agree or not, that is something for me to decide.

And for that matter, why are many people upset over what stars have to say. They are people too and they have a right to express themselves. Agree or not, that's up to you.

Trump also all but endorsed Rudy Giuliani for President in his comments. I think I'll support Fred Thompson now.

This is hilarious. David from Boston wrote "I new Donald was a wise man." and then went on to say that democrats have a higher IQ "...generally a higher average IQ?". David, is it new or knew?

Donald is right on and he has the right to speak up. For anyone who has money or is doing business outside of the U.S., you would be an idiot not to see the damage this President has done. The dollar today is worth less than the Canadian, FIRST TIME IN 30 YEARS, the UK pound is worth more than twice the US $$ and the Euro is at an all time high of 1.40. The greenback is turning into the Mexican peso and this President has done NOTHING ABOUT IT. That alone is pathetic, he should hide.

Is the space under the gosh-awful toupee available, Donald?
Sincerely,
G.W.B.

I think Donald Trump should go with him.

Trump is a bombastic fella but he's right about this one. For those in delusional denial, I'd like to know how we are better off now as a nation than we were before Bush took office. Bush has run this country into the ground–relatively speaking that is. I just wish Bush would go into hiding now and not wait for the elections. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Trump is right about Bush. I think he should have went further and advised the whole republican party..corrupt evil crooks that they are...to go into hiding. No more republicans please!America has had enough corrpution from the republican party to last a life time.

I have always thought you are not too smart... just darn lucky... thanks to your family mostly... That was a stupid comment ... say goodbye to half of your possible market share... whatever it is you are thinking of selling in the future.

The Trumpster can really call it. Up to his eyeballs in debt, regularly declined for home loans, never misses a chance to get in front of a TV camera. I once admired Donnie boy. Now he's nothing more than an old male version of Paris Hilton, saying idiot things, plastering his mug on everything from neckties to ribeyes. Disgusting.

I find Donald Trump immensely entertaining and agree with him that President Bush is damaged goods. I saw the CNN Situation Room today. With both Hillary and Rudy looking strong, why hasn’t any call the election a subway series. I would have expected that from The Donald. (My blog clickbroker.blogspot.com)

Any thing people say about Bush like that is right. 2009 is a long time coming. We have another Bush year and three month to go. God help us!

Trump is a joke and he should go into hiding, no one cares what he thinks... shut up you windbag.

Bush in my opinion is the absolute worst president in history. Impeachment would only have brought Cheney who would be far worse. Bush is just a moron, but Cheney is smart shrewd and EVIL!!!!!

Why doesn't this arrogant, self centered jerk run for president himself?

SPEAKING OF LAUGHING STOCKS AND FOOLS? jeez WHAT DOES tRUMP KNOW ABOUT BEING PRESIDENT OR POLITICS? gET A LIFE AND SEE IF YOU CAN RESCUE YOUR "EMPIRE" GOING DOWN THE DRAIN? TC

He is perfectly right

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH DONALD TRUMP THIS TIME, BUSH MAKES ME ASHAMED TO SAY IM REGISTERED REPUBLICAN. IT WILL BE ALONG LONG TIME BEFORE I VOTE FOR ANOTHER REPUBLICAN AGAIN. PS; IM ALSO CHANGING MY PARTY BECAUSE OF HIM.

Maybe Rosie was right!

The Esteemed Republican Rebuttal:
1) Donald who?
2) Nice hair dude.
3) That guy is like sooo irrelevant.
4) Why do I HAVE TO hear HIS political vies?
5) If the dems win, the terrorists will come to the USA, to my state, county, town, heck to my street and sneak into my bedroom, and me and my buddies will need to summon all the weaponry in our small rural town to kill Osama Bin Laden himself.....or some raghead like him.

I give (some) credit to the .01% of those that actually addressed the issue, as hard as it must be to try to defend.

I really want to hate this guy, but virtually every time he opens his mouth what comes out is far more rational than the Bush/Pataki Republican failure machine drivel.

A worldwide power turned into a laughing stock? Is Trump speaking of himself?

All he did was stat a fact that the whole word knows, we have an idiot in the White House and his tenure cannot end soon enough. The damage the Bush Regime has done to the US will take years to repair if it can be. The most sad thing about all of it is, he got relected over tax rebates, nobody will admit it but the majority voted for him to get $300 bucks, sad.

To the most valuable person in the news today. I'm so happy to hear that NOT ALL Hollywood/celebrities/and the lucky stinkin filthy rich are without a brain. Thank you so much for confirming that information – I was starting to think I was the only sane person in the world.

I am a former student of UTD in Richardson, Texas, and a charter member of the first female Greek organization on campus & have served on several committees on campus and in my 14 yrs of experience in real estate. I was President of my alum chaper for 3 years. I am currently unemployed for the 2nd time in the last year due to my health issues & the real estate market in Dallas, TX AND, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION (similar to Dan Rather's situation but unfortunately without his years of experience in speaking the truth). I am only looking "Up" for health benefits & am currently looking for a position with growth & lots of opportunities in advertising, or even so bold to say journalism???? I look forward and hope for the opportunity to meeting you someday. Thanks in advance for your consideraton.

Donald, Donald, Donald. I shall wish that you have said that zillions years ago, before W sends our troops to Iraq and spends billions of dollars. The funny thing is, Donald, everybody now says something about W as if there is a collective bravery.

Unfortunately, not much benefit from such denigrating comments after those over spendings, $ gets weaker and international trade balance is in favor of China and the US' reputation in international world is somewhat tarnished.

Back to voters! It's our call.

Go The Donald! This country would be out of debt and in the black in no time if Trump were put in charge.

I wish the Dems had the balls to stand up and say what he did. We've got jellyfish on one side of the Congressional aisle and slippery eels on the other. Neither of which have any clue of what's right for America.

Bush is an idiot and so is Trump. They should both hide together.

Either Donald has never studied American History or he is still just trying to get any publicity he can. And the only thing Donald could run for is the next spot on a horrible VH1 show.

Wake up Donald/Democrats, Terrorists' got you where they want you.

Mr.Trump is an Ace.
I just hope that when Mr. Bush is no longer president, that we do not have to suffer with any attempts to "Reaganize" him into a kindly, wonderful hero of the country, that "Mount Rushmore candidate" type of thing. I hope that Mr.Bush will someday know how he has ruined the American way of life

Donald, Thank you! Thank You! Thank You! Those of us who are middle class America seem to have no voice. Too bad we have had to endure 8 years of waste!

Trump is also "this tremendous power that has become a laughing stock." Who's he kidding?

I think the Don is right on all counts, and for all you losers who questions his opinion, and asks yourselves why Don's opinion matters more than yours, its because he's a billionaire and youre not. That makes the Don a billion times more powerful than you.

AlQuida wasn't in Iraq prior to 9/11 and didn't seek aid from Iraq for this dirty deed. For those Republicans who still want to blame Iraq and link Iraq to 9/11, this has been disproved long ago. Therefore, why did we invade Iraq? Lies about a "imminent threat" which never existed, is why. So when republicans want to talk about Bush going after the enemy, talk to me about why Bin Laden is free and Al Quaida now has a fresh recruiting ground of angry Iraqi's, and a regrouping in Afghanistan. Tell me how this is taking care of the enemy who attacked on 9/11? You people are whacked and bushbrain washed. Meanwhile your coward president has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi's who had no part of 9/11. We won't also mention the few million who are run out of their homes and are now refugees. Bush is a coward.

Hey Donald... Can he hide under your flop of hair? I am not sure how many other things are hiding under there...

The Donald for president. Joking!
No, really, somebody has the gumption to tell it like it is, finally.
How about Condi going to hide with her husband, George?

Donald Trump hit the nail on the head in saying that George W. Bush is the worst selected President this country has ever had in the White House period.

I think Donald Trump simply seeks attention after Rosie stops fighting with him. If not, Donald Trump is a confusing man. If he hates the Iraq invasion so much, then why did he donates money to the strongest supporter of Iraq invasion for presidential election: John McCain.

Maybe he does believe in Iraq invasion, and simply thinks Bush messed up the execution?!

Nicely taken, Donald.

I hope for your sake you don't try another one of your famous Bankruptcy Business Plans during Bush's term, or you're going to get a "visit."

Donald Trump's insults on the president of the US is disgusting.

I think this fellow Trump needs to be refered to a mental institution.

This clown Donald Trump needs to understand that the landmarks destroyed on September 11th 2001 were not his personal property with "TRUMP" marked them. However the twin towers that collapsed belonged to every American including him and has hurt the American pride.

If our president took action against the attack on our soil that is the rightful DUTY and his constitutional obligation to the people of the United States of America.

Other than insulting those who do something to redress the problems facing the US, what has this fellow Trump done as far as contribution to the men in uniform, the military planners, and most of all the US president in his efforts.

This fellow needs to keep his mouth shut and learn from the doers.

To the Administrator: You guys are this biased and insecure that you'd remove a post that I did supportive of Bush? I scrolled through your posted items and cannot find the post I made. It was not libelous or disrespectful. It reflected an opinion, but I guess it was too intelligent for this forum, so you guys deleted it! Way to go, liberals!

Why do we listen to Donald Trump?

His show is bombing and now he has views on politics. He seems to want to get any air time he can. Sure bashing Bush seems to be popular but the Trump opinion is worthless. Trump you have a point about the misuse of the war spending but really.

Trump make a better reality show and I will listen to you about politics.

Otherwise shut your pie hole...

GO DONALD!

Is trump trying to reaffirm his own thought that he's a "legend in his own mind". Does he really think his advice is taken seriously? Let's see, in the last year he's given advice to Martha Stewart, Miss America, Rosie, everyone on "You're Fired" show, and now the President. Maybe he should take some advice from his ex-wifes and hairdresser ....... lol

I can't believe that people like The Donald are given a forum to make unintellegent and uninformed statements. I don't agree with Bush on a lot of things but I do not believe that we are a laughing stock. Sounds like the Donald has been listening to his friend Mamouhd from Iran.

Donald Trump was on Wolf Blitzer tonight, until something went wrong with the tape, and he is pretty much on the money about the candidates. He was enjoyable to watch, for once, and I agree with him.

Frankly I’m really tired of reading (my fault) what people like Mr. Trump, Mr. Penn, or other ‘celebrities’ think about the President or the politics. It seems to me that they have the same rights as the rest of us: vote in / vote out.

What bugs me the most is a presumption that the rest of us need to know what the Hollywood people think. After all, these are the people who are making living pretending to be someone else (the only other reports where their names appear in mess-media are associated with DUI’s, OD’s, jail, driving accidents, divorces, and ‘got you’ pictures)… Why not run for the office and make the f-- change? Given, not all of them would be as successful as the ‘Man of the Year’. Oops, it was a movie…

Two parties. Always two opinions. It will never change. I propose we get two kindergarten students from each state, put them in a room with a list of issues and let them resolve our problems. I guarantee that we would get overwhelming agreement and probably even a plan on how to implement.

perhaps you have forgotten- but you are only a real estate man! I do not think you have the right to critize the president of the United States.

It is obvious YOU have forgotten that the Constitution of the United States - that wonderful, unique document for our country - ensures the right of everyone in the USA to freedom of speech. And it is the [place] duty of citizens of the USA to pay attention to the actions of federally elected and appointed officials and SPEAK THEIR MIND when the best interests of our country are de-railed. THAT is the true place of ALL American citizens, no matter their income level or type of employment.

That's what a true democracy is all about.

The world must be coming to an end. I actually agree with Trump.

"We've gone from this tremendous power that was respected all over the world to somewhat of a laughing stock." – Is he kidding. We were attacked several times under Clinton and the 9/11 attack was planned under Clinton's presidency. The U.S. was a joke of a country under Bubba AND there have been no more attacks since 9/11. That said I agree with the go into hiding part.

While it seems to be fashionable to hammer on anyone who is highly successful in business, I spent some time reading and paying attention to Donald Trump over the years. He is very pragmatic and, right or wrong, he tells people what he thinks with brutal truth. No matter what your opinion, he deserves credit for that. The man knows the difference between an asset and a liability for certain.

hahahaha, you all Republicans out there are going nuts, Why? cause you guys just can't handle the truth, especially coming from a guy like Donald.

Kudos to Donald Trump for his advice to Bush to hide; the sooner the better. He's certainly not helping anyone, including the Republican party.

------------–

I would have to disagree! Bush helps the Democrats tremendously. Dems raise money and get new voters from the mention of Bush's name.

To Blame Bush for all these problems would be too easy. Bush is simply a representation of the selfishness of america.If you want things to change – you have to do something other than blame one person..You think a great president is going to change your obsession with oil? Yeah right!

Donald,
Are you kidding me. The reasons we lost so much power and respect is because of people like you. There is war going on, is about freedom. The Presdent has done a pretty good job. In contrast, you have done more to diminish it more than anybody else. Go to Eastern Europe and go get another wife. That is a great corner for you to hode.

Bush, due to his unstrategic not-well-thought-of actions, has definitely diminished America's standing in the world. I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican, but I do think all of the Democrat candidates and most of the Republican candidates (except Guliani) would be far better than Bush.

Kudos to Donald Trump for his advice to Bush to hide; the sooner the better. He's certainly not helping anyone, including the Republican party.

While I am not a fan of Donald Trump, he is correct in his perspective. Unfortunately, the only person who can't see this, is President George W. Bush himself. While Bush will go down in history as being the worst president ever to hold office, he will never allow himself to "see" the truth of this. Bush is either incapable or unwilling to see the truth regarding his presidency and the damage he has caused the United States. It will take decades to undo the damage he has inflicted upon this country. Even his fellow Republicans admit this in private.

Mr. Trump came across sounding like a bully on a playground! His advice would be the last I would ever consider I think he says outrageous and ridiculous things to promote HIMSELF, and no one else. He just wants to keep himself in the news. Not interested!

The whole republican party should go into hiding for letting this so called administration run this country into the ground. From a surplus to over 8.9 trillion(and counting) in debt. How do we get out of this quagmire Bush browebeat congress and the american people into. I'd love to hear for the 2000th time how Saddam had to go, but what I really want to hear is how we extricate ourselves out of this mess Bush,Cheney and Rove got us into. This LAME duck president should go find a nice cave somwhere and hide. I hear Tora Bora is a good place to hide.

We can only hope another Republican is elected president. Let them clean up the mess they started. As the country continues to mire down in the Middle East and we seem poised on the brink of a major recession, it's time for the Republicans to cowboy up. Meanwhile, the Democrats prepare to toss victory directly into the jaws of defeat by running their least electible candidate.
So we'll elect a Republican for the last time in my lifetime. Shades of Herbert Hoover and FDR all over again.

I will admit that I would not would have wanted to be Bush the day 9/11 occurred, but I do not support him at all. Since 9/11, I have been frustrated with how Bush has become focused on becoming more of the world's police force instead of focusing on the american people and the hundreds of thousands of americans without health insurance.

As we know, all US Citizens have the right to freedom of speech as demonstrated by the "bill of rights". So, Donnie has the right to speak. But so do I. Who in the world cares what that pompous windbag has to say? What? Because he has money? Well, so do I. I just don't have as much money as he does.

To MPG San Francisco:

Bravo and well put! There is nothing more distasteful in the American media and American politics right now right now than the "World According to Rupert Murdoch" and the bible thumping Christian Family Values Phonies. I'm no fan of Trump but he's a lot smarter than that doofus in the oval office.

Are all you Bush followers upset and embarassed because Trump is speaking the truth?

Bush, his failed policies, and needless war is a 10 ton anchor attached to whoever wins the Repubilcan primaries. Democrats are hungry to win the white house, and there are a ton of Americans fed up with Repubilcans. You people need to get used to it. Your kind are going to be out of power for a long long time.

Everybody's telling Trump to be quiet and go away and that he doesn't know what he's talking about. While I agree with Donald, I don't need him to tell me that Bush is an idiot and has single handedly destroyed this country...but I'm glad he's saying it because at least people are hearing it because of his fame. More chance that more people will hear him than me. Because I'm a little people, and nobody listens to the little people. You keep on speaking Donald.

As for all the rest of those out there who are in denial that Bush has wrecked this country, is the worst president to ever steal an election and IS the MOST hated man in America today, you guys need to wake up and get your heads out of the sand and try and do something before your arses get obliterated by the disaster that we face just around the corner. And it's because of Bush and his controllers that we will have to face it.

Wake up people..get a CLUE.

Most people realize that Trump isn't the political analyst with any real respect other than that self imposed. Why does a respected program like the situation room feel Trump may have newsworthy advice for political candidates or for Americans who like Wolf Blitzer such as myself?

Trump is right on target and we Americans better wake up. Whether we are democrats or republicans it doesn't matter to China or other countries, they are capitalizing on our divides. We have allowed this great country to be mismanaged by Bush and it's our responsibility to cleanup this terrible mess. VOTE RESPONSIBLY

We need someone running the show with smart business sense. Everyone's a critic with no real answers. Party affiliation is irrelevant. If you can't help the situation keep quiet. If this is the best Bush can do, so be it. Come 2008 let's do it right.

I don't usually care much about what Trump thinks but I certainly agree with him on this. Bush has done a horrible job.

This represents one of the many ironies of contemporary American culture and possibly the price that is paid for the value of free speech: that an individual as shallow, pompous, and misguided as Donald Trump, whose lack of a moral compass could only be missed by Rip Van Winkle, is even given air time to deride an acting president of the United States; a president who, whether you agree with all that he has done or not, has at certain moments in history (in the early period following 9-11 as one example), demonstrated great valor and eloquence. Mr. Trump is a sad commentary on the worst aspect of our persona as an American people. If a President Bush is a laughingstock as Trump would suggest, does he view himself as an image of what is best about America to the poor of India and China? Or a valiant voice for the powerful in those two countries? Please CNN, give this character/caricature as little air time as possible, and allow the American people to preserve their sanity.

Regardless of what you think of Donald Trump,
at least he used his influence on a public platform to express what the rest of us have been a discussiing
in every home, since the Election when AWOL in Florida. .

His priorities and personal agendas have guided his footsteps.

Karl Rove saw a way to the win the white house, and the
Christian coalition was the answer to their prayers.

Most States have lost the battle to prepare our
children for what is to come due to a poorly funded education system. Federal Prisons are Busting at the seams. and the Golf coast is still in dire straits.

Health Care is a joke.
You can go to Iran and Cuba and get better health and dental care.

Had Bush spent as much money on America as he has on his War on Terrorism, we would definitely be a stronger country. He dropped the ball on Bin Laden.

What is true is he thrives on fear, that is his ticket to fame and fortune.

When the 75 years are up on the Information of Freedom Act, when we can finally examine the papers of this adminstration. The poorly excuted details to resolve the critical issues will have taken a back seat to
his greed.
On that day, We will be judged. That is when we will all know the truth.

And I will bet that it will make Richard Nixon look like Tinker Bell in comparison.

As for Cheney, he is more frightening then Bush.
And, should be investigated for his involvement with the Contracts currently in place in Iraq.

America is going broke, People are stressed.
And, the Military is stretched to the breaking point.

Before he became Presidency, we were a financially stable nation

I am hoping the Political Agendas of this nation can move past all of this, and do what is right for America .

Trump is right. Bush has made the USA a laughing stock all over the world. I just came back form Europe where they would not even take the $(USA Dollar) for transaction. The London FUTSE is taking over Wall Street as the major trading and center of Economic market. It is a shame how Americans are viewed as "Bullies" all over Europe.

And I'm sorry to have to tell you Tom, but America is being viewed as a "Bully" and a laughing stock all over the world. And in my view for just cause. Bush is the reason they view America as a Laughing Stock. And if American Presidents' and their Congress' would refrain from equating dictating to other Nations with Super Power Status they may be looked upon more congenially.

When was the last time you heard of America offering help to Sudan? Dafur? or sending troops to diminish the violence in those areas? Or assisting Mikinduri? America doesn't assist or aid any Nation unless there is oil or the almighty dollar to gain.

And that is why America's image around the world is what it is today. The world is aware that oil is the only reason America is in Iraq. And that really doesn't portray a Nation of Compassion and Good Will towards men.

Sadly, Mr. Trump is absolutely right. Bush took us to war under false pretenses, took his eye off the prize (Bin Laden) and killed over 3700 U.S. soldiers for nothing. The worst foreign policy decision in American history. Bush is the emperor without clothing.

Donald Trump needs to get the name of
Edwards hair stylist. Apparently money doesn't buy everything.
NUFF SAID.

To "A Concerned American"

There is absolutely nothing "Christian" or Christ-like in Fox News or those who purport themselves to be the Right-Wing Christian Evangelical Conservatives. Those who truly want to be Christ-like will demonstrate it in how they live their own lives and quietly by example influence others. Beating people over the head, mud-slinging and wearing a label or a bumper-sticker for the sake of "politics" doesn't cut it. Isn't that why Jesus was executed in the first place.....by the so-called Religious right? There is a huge voice of so-called "Christian Conservatives" that's giving christianity a very, very bad name and mis-representing the faith publicly in politics....and I, for one am sick of it. Sorry to say, President Bush is at the head of the class....and I voted for him once.

Dear CNN:

Why do you post rules for commenters and not follow them?

Why do allow so many commenters to post their opinions without affixing their requred name, city and state?

Like for instance: John Doe posted:

Doanld is not in any position to provide neither advise or comment to our U.S. president. His intent is to prepare a foot step into his day dream to become the future U.S. president by 2012… Is this a do-able job for him ?

Actually Trump is absolutely correct, the rest of the world is laughing at you, in fact we started laughing at you the day Bush was elected...how can such a powerful country elect someone with no education who can barely read and who cares nothing for it's people..we knew that the war was a lie even before it started, you guys fell for every lie that came out of his mouth like a bunch of sheep...then you elected him yet again!! You went from such a powerful country to the laughing stock of the world..i feel sorry for you people.

Stop commenting Trump. Your time in the limelight is done. I think the only thing funnier than a slumlord giving political advice is a ambulance chasing presidential candidate providing a national healthcare plan.

Way too late Donald.Bush has already destroyed ANY Republican's chance to be president....THANK GOD!It's the only thing that idiot has done right and it wasn't by design!The rest of the Republican party should just take a four year "timeout" and let this country heal and take out the trash that Bush and his cohorts have piled up.The stink of this administration will take at least that long to subside enough for americans to breathe again!
Maybe the Christian lunatic fringe that has set this country back 200 years will go and hide with him.They have made life miserable for every fair minded Christian in this country!They don't believe in God,they think they ARE God!God is quite a bit much more capable at doing his job than ANY or ALL human beings and HE should be allowed to do so without interference from the religeous right.

the conservative mindset is fundamentally flawed and should become extinct if humanity is to ever advance.

So, Donald Trump is a big authority on whether or not Bush is an asset??
Trump is an egomaniac, plus a little shady, plus he is someone who feels that anyone with money is intelligent. That is unfortunately 'Hollywood' thinking. We (who have it) know these people lack common sense.

For once The Donald is right about Bush worst president in my lifetime.

Donald Trump is a loser. Plain and simple. I am so sick and tired of his self promotion. I'm a father of five great kids, a school teacher who's married to a wonderful women and I consider myself far more sucessful than this clown. Who cares what he thinks.

I wouldn't say Bush was the worst president we've ever had. He's had some STIFF competition from Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

Just thank God, we could have had someone worse.

Posted By Dovie Reid, Connelly Springs, NC : September 24, 2007 4:52 pm

That is not possible

Trump is right on (can't believe I just typed that.)Bush has done so much damage to our country, some of which is irreparable. Think Iraq, my fellow citizens. Or the deficit. Or.....

Republicans need to take their party back to it's moderate, Grand Old Party, liberterian roots and fast before the "Christian" right takes us straight to Armageddon. Take it back and let them form their own theological party. On the margins. Where they belong.

......Oh wait I'm dreaming, It's not going to happen. They control the GOP primary system, duh. Oh well....here's a vote for Clinton.

donald trump is a clown. the idea that he is being given press about his political views is absurd.

Trump is right. Bush has made the USA a laughing stock all over the world. I just came back form Europe where they would not even take the $(USA Dollar) for transaction. The London FUTSE is taking over Wall Street as the major trading and center of Economic market. It is a shame how Americans are viewed as "Bullies" all over Europe.

What is sad is that this was the best interview CNN & Wolf could get to discuss Iran's leader coming into the U.S.? Sad state of affairs at CNN.

Enough with Donald Trump!

I am not a Donald Trump fan AT ALL, but he is completely correct here. Bush IS the worst president of all time. No doubt.

Who cares what Trump has to say. This guy has been bankrupt how many times? He is a first class looser and our messed up society thinks he is a business mogul. Please. Get a clue

Please. This is the USA. Everyone has the right to critize. That's everyone's right and you don't have to like it. It's just how it is. I voted for Bush and I'm damn disappointed. I don't know what I'm going to vote come election time.... Go Angels!!!

Finally someone who actually makes enough money to be a Republican, speaks the truth. The idiot should never have been put into a position to make so many mistakes! Those who still believe in this guy should stop watching FOX news!

lance p. cord is on the money. having the world hate us while we kill brave american soldiers and innocent iraqi civilians is hardly scary compared to having "another clinton" in the white house.

wow, times WERE so bad back then, when the budget was balanced and america still had a few allies around the world. and our president lied about sex and nearly got impeached, while this one is a murderer and gets a free ride from the house, senate, media and all the lance p. cords of the world.

yes, another clinton would be like letting the BOGEYMAN in the white house. (or is that BOGEYWOMAN?)

I find it instresting that most of the people who find Trumps comments objectionable display their displeasure by tearing Trump down and not by defending Bush. The reason is because this President and what he has done to this country is indefensible. For anyone to not see the damage is completely beyond the realm of all reason.

if Bush is "probably" the worst president in American history Jimmy Carter should send him a thank you note!

DONALD TRUMP HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY IRRELEVANT AS HAS THE CNN POLITICAL TICKER. I can barely stand to read this blog anymore.

Donald is right, PR stunt or not. It will be great when Bush is gone, he has ruined this country. Unfortunately, we'll be stuck with more of the same with a Clinton or Guiliani. Republican or Democrat, they are all out of touch. I can't believe this is the best we can do.

Should the Democratic controlled Congress with an 11% approval rating go into hiding as well, Mr. Trump?

Trump? Didn't we fire that guy along time ago? Nah, let's go get some lunch!

Mr. Trump needs to go away and hide, himself. As he supports Hillary Clinton, I'd be embarrassed to be seen on the same block with him. Just to clarify, I'm a woman with a doctorate's degree, and am well-versed on what is happening in this country. It's people like Trump and Hillary Clinton who are leading us to total disaster. Shame on you America. You are walking around with horse-blinders on, while the President of the United States is trying to save us all. Wake up and REALLY pay attention to what is happening in Washington instead of letting the moguls and the Clintons lead you down the garden path.

I am SO VERY TIRED of all this venom. President Bush deserves the respect of the office and if the celeberties and politicians had been brought up with any training in basic manners we wouldn't have this type of sniping going on. The President has always taken the high road with his attackers. People like Donald Trump and the like look like arrogant children when they vent such angry comments.

Everyone has a right to express his own opinion - that's why we call it Free Speech. Donald just offered HIS own opinion - It was not MEANT to represent YOUR opinion. Do you think we be a little classier in our online comments? Reading through these posts, I thought I was in a roomful of cheerleaders from jr high school. Waste of my time. The Clintons made it possible for millions to buy investment homes and not be killed in capital gains tax. My $4,860,000 and I are okay with Hillary Clinton. Don't talk it unless you can walk it.

perhaps you have forgotten- but you are only a real estate man! I do not think you have the right to critize the president of the United States.
Mind you place!

To all of those who have suggested Mr. Trump isn't entitled to his opinion on this subject: why did you read the article?

just watched trumps inane diatribe against our president.
this could only be shown on cnn,the ultra left wing organ.
if it wasnt for daddys big bucks trump
would just be a another bowery bum.

Why is it that Americans listen to money-people, even though they make absolutely no contributions to public opinio? So, Americans, I also want to know about your fickleness with one of the few Presidents of the U.S. who actually did something about Sadamm and his terrorist friends –how quickly we forget and return to our day-to-day lives. I guess we need another wake-up call to remember why President Bush sent our sons and daughters to Iraq. I don't see Trump getting his hands dirty by trying to rid this world of fanatics –only our President. Shame on you America.

Who really cares what Donald Trump thinks?

I think its interesting that because Donald Trump knows a lot about investing and money, it automatically follows that I should listen to his political commentary. It is a difficult thing for human beings not to get caught up with themselves when they can succeed in a certain area of their lives.

Don't step on someone until you've walked in their shoes. I thinks he's done the best he can do with what he had to work with considering the mess he walked into to start with. I don't think anyone could have done any better. Just thank God, we could have had someone worse.

Donald Trump tells it like it is. Bush is nothing but a lying disaster. Mission Accomplished.

I am a registered Republican and i have to say, that these past eight years are going to keep a Repub' outta' the Oval Office after '08. Thanks Bush! Dems' you won fair and square!

Too bad Donald can't use his usual line..... "You're Fired!

Donald's statement that Bush is the worst president in American history is ridiculous. It is foolish to assume that because "people are talking about China and India and other places..." and that we are supposedly "a laughing stock" for what has occurred the last few years that it must be all Bush's fault. These efforts to put all our problems under Bush's blanket are naive. However, I do like my Trump tie.

I have never been a Trump fan but he finally got one thing right.
America's stature has dropped like a rock since Bush got behind the wheel.

He needs to hide under a rock.

I don't agree with Trump at all. I think Bush should stay right out in the open where everyone can see how defective he is right up to the election. Then we'll make sure we can get Clinton in. I have to say listening to Hillary on the weekend talk shows really sowed it up in my mind. She was so well spoken in her remarks she even got a positive remark from Brit Hume on Fox News Sunday!!

The majority of Americans are too dumb to care. They will elect another Bush.

It is refreshing to see that someone can say out loud, and in a public manner, what is obvious to all: Bush has done great damage to our nation and our interests abroad by frittering away a world of 9/11 good will and sympathy with his actions in Irag. The king does, indeed, have no clothes. Let's not scold the little boy who says it.

Hey Wag,
He may not be broke, but he did screw creditors out of Million$, pretty scummy guy, declare a business insolvent, but legally keep your millions, he's the embarassing one, I'm not a Rep., but Bush did what he thought was right, unlike canidates who, for example "personally think abortion is wrong" but think its OK for someone else to kill an unwanted baby? Sometimes undiplomatic people end up in public service / the White House, sucks, but the US should always try to do the right thing, and getting rid of Saddam was the right thing to do, cost too high, yep, but we all make sacrifices (and mistakes)in an effort to do whats right. I just hope the next prez. thinks more about whats right for this country than what is PC on the world stage, of course its important to have shrewd foreign policy, but give me a break, democracy is ugly and inefficient and the only option, all other types of gov. seem to lead to less freedom, dictatorships and way worse suffering. Anyone have a look at the Dons tax returns? Hope he's payin his share.

There is one Republican that can win – Giuliani – the only moderate running on either side – true fiscally conservative and socially liberal. The democrats are running a series of left wingers – Giuliani is comfortable going against the right wingers in his own party....he will be elected in 2008 – and this will be very good for everyone.

As much as I don't like Donald Trump, he has hit the nail on the head. I travel abroad quite frequently and before Bush, people were in awe of the US, they wanted to know every little detail about us, now people just kind of smirk, and laugh and wonder what kind of people would elect a guy like Bush to represent them. Crude,rude,and pompous are the nice things that are said.

CNN, well...even you lack in judgement sometime.
Whom in heaven is the Donald supposed to speak for here?
Or is just the payoff for your backstroking him?

When Monica was in the Oval Office, the rest of the world was wondering what the big deal was about.

America was flying it's puritanical flag high and the rest of the world thought it was mock outrage was hilariously naive.

I personally do not like the Donald, but for once in his life, he is ABSOLUTLY CORRECT!!!

For once, I agree with something that Donald Trump has said...but his timing is off by 7 years!

Trump nails it. Bush is an unmitigated disaster that will linger for generations. Even repubs wouldn't be able to utter Bush's name without showing the same open disgust they for Carter.

Like we really needed Donald Trump to tell us what every one has been thinking for quite some time now.

If Hillary wins we will really be going into the dumper.

By the way, does anyone remember who was President when NAFTA became the law of the land?

Democrat or Republican, who cares. We're probably going to be worse off than we are now.

Yes because of Bush, the US is laughted at all over the world. Because US with Bush is illogical, arrogant and violent. Bush was the worst american president. He came to power not for peace but wars. For him power is physical, a show of american strength. That was the conception of power before, now it is different, power is calm and peacefull. He made america a chicken country, where terorists think they can manipulate the opinion. And they are succeding because of this president.

I lost all of my respect for Donald Trump. This is America, President Bush is our president, if you don't like it, LEAVE!!

"The Donald" says it like it is ...

Right on, Donald!
For once, we agree on something.
The next president, however, will not be a Republican. The Independents will take the White House in 2008.

Well, Donald; you're absolutely right!

If I were a Republican, I'd get as far away from W as I possibly could! But he did say that he's going to "campaign vigorously" for whoever does win the Republican nomination. We can only hope that he actually follows through on that promise!!

Now, Donald; if only you could be just as on top of things when it comes to your hairdo! Lordy, lordy, Mr. Trump! Where did you get that toupee??

No way Bush is one of the worst Presidents ever. No way. Jimmy Carter was way, way worse. Look, how many Presidents had to go thru 9/11 like Bush did? You think that was easy? His decision to invade Iraq may have been faulty, but he did a fine job of leading this country out of a rough time following the attacks. As for the economy, it's not doing badly at all – Clinton was lucky, his economy was a false economy, the result of the dot com revolution which, of course, turned out to be a mirage. Who the heck is Trump that makes him a political pundit anyway?

Right On Don! Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

We Canadians love Bush,if not for him and his policies our dollar would still be worth 61 cents U.S. now it's at par....thanks George!!!

Most important message of the article is what others in the world think about the US for investint in business and our political credibility. D would be in a better position to give us that feedback than most.

I believe that Donald Trump knows nothing about George W. Bush. He should not be on CNN to make such comments. Perhaps Wolf Blitzer does not have credible guests to talk about politics. Is CNN biased on this?

For once, I can agree with Mr. Trump on something. He's exact in his observations. Bush is a liability to his party.

The sad thing is rather than people rationalizing why Trump is wrong, those in opposition choose to mudsling in their comments. It really describes the mentality of "mainstream" America. No wonder they elected Bush in the first place. You don't your head from your .. well fill in that blank and you go "baa baa!"

On criticizing CNN.com, while CNN is not perfect it is less sensational that Fox News, which is a Republican, Christian-Biased, Propaganda, Organ Grinding Cesspool, and a despicable excuse of a journalistic agency.

I am not saying we will be better off with a Democrat (as I don't vote for political parties) but a change is in order and Republicans should be kicked out the door right now.

He was wrong to jump into the Rosie fiasco and he's wrong on Bush. His project here in Tampa is a disaster. He should stick to real estate...he's only been bankrupt twice in that arena.

I can't believe I agree with Trump!
Can't stand him, but this time I conceed he is in the right. Bush needs to find a rock and take his boss Dick Cheney with him!

Right On Donald! We need more influencial people speaking up to save this country ! This madman(Bush) needs to be impeached !
I have relatives in England and they ask, what is happening to America!

Trump said we were a respected nation before the worst president in history messed up our perfect record. I say Bush should put him in his place like Rosie did, Trump your fired! When Monica was in the whitehouse we were the joke of the world, feared by none!

Finally someone comes out and says it! Any one who thinks different had better wake up and look into who is profiting from the war!!! I wish Bush would have hid about 8 years ago!

Bush should keep right on making a daily ass of himself so we will have a Democratic President and much more a majority in Congress!!!!
Hey Bible Bob, ever wonder why so many red states rely heavily on Government Aided Programs? (instigated by Democrats). Seems hypocritical to me.

Plus, most heavily populated areas across our nation vote democratic. Where there are more people, there is more crime, homelessness and poverty.

I used to hate the Donald, now I love him! I just wish he wouldn't give the replicans advise.

Thank You Donald for saying what the rest of us are thinking! You have a platform to speak for those of us whom cannot speak our minds to the rest of the world!

The last time I checked...He was still worth the same amount of votes that I am worth...just one. There are so many Social Conservatives and Republicans in this country...but the way the media gives airtime to the Liberals, you would think we were all jumping ship.

See on you Election Day! Along with me any my MILLIONS of Republican Friends who refuse to let Hillary become president....again.

it is funny that the only person saying BS like this is a flaming liberal. President Bush is not the worst President in our History...atleast he was never impeached...not the Democrats have that distincion not once but TWICE!

How is this possible? Has Hell frozen over? I finally agree with Donald Trump? Americans are unified in their disgust for their own president. What a crying shame November 08 isn't here yet.

Trump is irrelevant. But it was nice of him to weigh in.

Too bad Bush and his pack of morons can't be fired til 1/20/2009, W equals WORST.

The only thing that should be hiding is that freakish hair!

AMEN...Time for George Bush just to go! He is the worst president EVER!
I am here agreeing with Donald Trump who whould have thought!
Mr. Bush has made the USA A JOKE. Mr Bush is a coward.

I didn't think there was anything I could agree with Trump on. Bush is the worse president America has ever had, and we have been a laughing stock ever since this 'coward' invaded a country which posed NO threat to ours and had NOTHING to do with 9/11. The world views Bush as a coward, who has ignored the regrouping of AlQuaida and the capture of Bin Laden while pacifist Americans play with their remotes and don't care. So much for Patriotism. The blood of over 500,000 innocent Iraqi civilians and the one million refugees will be his legacy. What ever happened to the brave people of the Vietnam era, who actually stood for something? Bush ought to be impeached and his worshipful Republicans in Congress out to be voted out of office.

No argument with Trump's statement that Bush is "probably" the worse president is US history. Just take out the "probably" and replace with "undoubtedly."

For once I agree with this guy! Now he should go hide with Bush in the corner and keep his month shut to!!!

It would be better if Trump went into hiding. As a failed candidate himself; THE DONALD was overwhelmingly rejected. He's just another opinionated rich guy who gets media attention because he likes to make these kind of outlandish comments. Someone should tell Trump that just becasue he's rich doesn't mean we are all eager to hear him pontificate on any and every subject.

Even IF Bush were to crawl into a deep hole, where he belongs, the repubes would STILL lose.

Unfortunately, the Democratic front-runner, the HILLarious HILLarian, would not be much better (than Bush).

we have GOT to get Obama and Edwards TOGETHER, so America can restore its reputation.

Donald hits the mark right! He's an icon and an amazing businessman. I have great respect for him and the way he tells things the way he feels like addressing it. Bush will go down as the WORST president in US history. Worst than Hoover and Carter combined. Any Republican who supports him will be digging his own political grave.

I used to, stress used to, have a great deal of respect for Trump. Even named a dog (D.T.) after him.

I am sorry that we didn't run and hide after being hit on 9/11. I am sorry we didn't fully support the U.N.'s efforts to stop us. We do fully support it financially. You're welcome Iran.

Worst president in history? Now Trump, even with your MBA you have HAD to bump into a history course now and then. Check out pre- and post-Civil War presidents.

Maybe you aren't giggling as much when you view your bank statement. I know my family is better off than eight years ago.

Someone who stands up and refuses to let us be trampled, goes from being reactive to proactive as a nation (sorry, don't like the idea of 'bomb us first' as a prelude to war), and someone who doesn't make an entire country yell "JESUS CHRIST" during the nightly news. I guess this president isn't the tabloid fodder needed in the modern day.

Trump, stick to managing the second-rate beauty pageants. You're shoot from the hip analysis makes your stock fall.

And, I will be selling your board game at a local yard sale. I would give it to the Salvation Army but they would surely give it back. Likely take out a peace bond on me too!

Trouble with having more money than you can count, they stick a microphone in front of you and have you evaluate world events. Trump is playing rock star now.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN AMERICA!!!

Donald, isn't Melania starting to get too old to be with you? Isn't time for you to trade her in like you did with the other two wives? Go worry about things of that nature and your casinos losing tons of money. How long has it been since you've seen your little boy? Do you even remember his name? And by the way, my last name is Trump too-that used to be a cool thing, now it's an embarrassment.

Trump is way over rated as a businessman. He inherited his father's construction business and $300 million. Any idiot can sit on that amount for 30+ years and become a billionaire with just simple savings account interest. And this guys opinion about politics matters why??

wow I guess he heard that from days ago huh? He is so smart. Always notice when she has something to say its days after someone else has said it. He is a dumb ass. Although I agree that Bush has damaged any change of any stupid Republican.

EVERY AMERICAN AGREES WITH THE DONALD.HE'S RIGHT, BUSH IS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY. PERIOD. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THE DON YOU KNOW HE'S CORRECT.

The way I look at it is this. Donald is one of the foremost businessmen in America. He has made millions off of the good decisions he has made. I think he is right on the money here. And if it is his goal to run for president in the next 8 years, then all the better. I believe he would make a wonderful president. If he can manage a business worth millions and thousands of employees and make it profitable, I believe he could handle the US, and make it very 'profitable'.

GO DONALD!!!
those of you who want Donald to run and hide, you must be Bush supporters.

Folks,

Please keep it to the issues and not Blue versus Red. I suggest that folks like "David Boston,MA" who said "I new Donald was a wise man . . . . Why is it that the Blue states have a higher population and generally a higher average IQ?" use a spell-checker in the future . . . . I have my own quote - "People in glass houses should not cast stones."

As to Mr. Trump, I respect the man, but he is sometimes blinded by his own genius. As a fence rider, my call is that the Democrats will have real problems if Hillary is nominated.

There are too many folks who were around during her husband's tenure who are very aware of the spin-machine that Bill had and that she will have - which is already working at blinding speed slicing and dicing her opponents.

This election should not be treated like a football game or a democrat versus republican battle. We have serious issues at stake. Unfortunately, neither the Democrats or Republicans running for office are interested in leading . . . they are solely interested in the title. I challenge each of you to start pressuring the nominees in both parties to focus on the important issues and figuring them out without blowing the national budget.

George will go into hiding and will count the money that he and Dick made during the last 8 years.
He'll go to China and Saudi-Arabia to count the millions and millions he made so far.
Then he'll hug OBL and say "thank you". because 9/11 was the best that happened to George

Finally, Donald Trump and I agree on something.

But please, Mr. Trump, no more 'reality' tv shows!

mr.trump is correct.bush has turned into a joke.as commander in chief of the greatest military power in the world he cannot defeat a little two bit country, then he is pathetic.

I don't care for "the Donald", but I'm sick of this administration. Has anyone else noticed that Iraq and Terrorists are the only thing Bush seems to be intersted in (with the exception of Libby...he found time for that)? I want someone who's more interested in what's going on at home. I SAY FORGET IRAQ, WE HAVE OUR OWN PROBLEMS, BRING OUR BOYS HOME NOW, TODAY!!!!!!

As a Canadian Citizen and resident, I watch the US news quite often.

I think Mr. Trump's statements were too harsh but I feel there is some truth to it. Before Mr. Bush became president, the economy in the US was very strong. I don't believe it is the same now. I fully understand that that after 9/11, he had to "kick butt" in Aphganistan. No one can disagree with that. But Iraq could have waited. The costs of that war should have been used to get Bin Laden. I am sure the costs would have been less and probably less problems in Iraq.

Companies that moved their operations out of your country and US Citizens lost their jobs, that can't be right.
Something should have been done about that.

However, I think after the next election, the US will become much stronger especially economically. I wish you the best.

Donald Trump's opinion is news worthy because he happens to be very good friends, very rich, and probably a campaign contributor to Rudy Giuliani. Whether you like him or not, he has a large fan base and by reporting his opinion, he can definitely sway public opinion and therefore the vote. Besides the Donald isn't saying anything that ALL political analysts haven't been saying for months. It makes no difference whether you are a Bush supporter or not, it all comes down to numbers and Bush's popularity is in the toilet. My only hope is that Bush's replacement is a candidate that has military experience. I really do believe that to get us out of this mess in the safest way possible, the new president needs to have experience in this area. We need our men to come home safely and I hope conditions improve in Iraq... no one should have to live like that.

Trump is 100% correct!
BUSH IS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE U.S.
His best comment was about Condi Rice: "she is the only person to go into a meeting(negotiating in the mid-east) and come out with 0 results 100% of the time. Great job DONALD!!!

I agree with Trump all the way. It is not about Party Lines, it is about our integrity which has been shot to hell in a hand basket.

Like it or not. He's right!

Hey REX from ALBEMARLE, NC, so you think that Civil Rights and The Constitution only relate to you and people who think like you? Don't you believe that ALL citizens of this country have a right to voice their opinion no matter how rich or how famous they are?

Just goes to show you how living in NYC distorts one's perception of the rest of the world.
Under Clinton, the U.S. was NOT "respected all over the world", as our enemies could attest.

Trump is a political idiot.

I always thought Trump was an idiot, but he opened his mouth and now there is no doubt. He should stay in his high rise office and spin his little financial webs and leave politics to someone else.

Sorry Donald,
Am sure you did not expect to receive all this criticism from the public.

You need to know this. America will listen to their President before they can listen to you. You can tell from all the comments that nobody cares about what you say. You can only speak for yourself and not for any other American. Republicans love Bush and I do.

Donald Trump defining 'laughing stocks'? Well, he ought to know.

Well, sadly, everyone is missing the point, it doesn't matter, Dem. or Rep. they are all crooks. They all start foreign wars without approval from Congress, destroy our economy through inflation and war spending, and all of them are going to push for the North American Union to destroy our sovereignty and our nations currency.
Forget what party they are in, we need Congress to step up and stop all of these madmen from destroying this nation.

THIS SIA PHSYCHIC LADY COMMENT;
THIS YEAR IS A BOAR YEAR 2007- 1947 ALOS A BOAR YEAR WHICH IS HILLARY CLINTON WAS BORN; CLASSIC EXAMPLE BOAR YEAR BORN;SAME ZODIAC SIGN BUT FDIFFERENT BIRTHYEAR; RONALS REAGAN/ARNOLD SCHEWARZNNGER ANDHILARY CLINTON THREE OF THEM HAS A LEADERSHIP QUALITIES.

AMERICA WAKE UP IF I WERE YOU NO MORE REPUBLICAN.

Pigs must be flying, because I agree with Trump. I bet even Rosie O'Donnell would agree.

Donald i really wish you would embarass yourself and run for president you liberal joke!!

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE. And w/ Greenspan's admission we have to take over the country oil, just confirms what I already knew. We went to war for oil, not threats. We have all this technology, but somehow can find Bin Laden. Yea right. Colin told them there were no exists. Everyone is jumping ship from the administration, or being kicked out. Bush will be hiding in Guatamala. Where he can't be prosecuted for war crimes. Not to mention the Saudis OWN the U.S basically. And Sr. Bush sits on an oil bord with Bin Laden's dad. Please.

More Trump pandering. I wish this "man" would shut up – although a wealthy man and an astute Real Estate investor, his forays into anything other than his main area of "expertise" have gone belly up – most recently Trump Mortgage. Good eye on the economy Donald – perhaps he should stick to what he is best at – self promotion. I'm no Bush fan, but shut up already Donald – "We're tired!" ... of you.

It's time for Trump to go in hiding.

I see Trump's comment as a threat to the President.
Shouldn't the Secret Service look into that?

How is anyone suppose to put any value into anything Donald Bankruptcy Trump has to say. I really am growing tired of people valuing this mans opinion. At the end of the day, this man has run his company into the ground at least three times. Anyone can get it right after all the practice he has had. How is Trump Airlines doing? What happenned to the apprentice? Now he plans to have Britney Spears, lindsey lohan as an apprentice? Sounds about right. One thing for sure, there ages are right in his target area for marriage..

I am a strong conservative, however, I am trumped out already....

Thanks Donald. Way to tell Bush he is "fired!"

As absurd as this sounds, it does make sense. Not that it will or should happen, but he's onto something. Gad! That makes me mad!

I cannot understand why Bush is not charged with treason.
He expoxed the identity of secret agents.
Would someone please explain to my why.

You go Donald !!! Is there any way we can get him to hide sooner???

Just because the comment came from a very public figure (whether you like him or not) doesn't make it any less relevant that those who opine here or anywhere else. He is a business man who has enjoyed measurable success and understands economics and politics. He isn't saying anything that many "unknown" or less public Americans aren't saying or thinking or discussing amongst themselves. Bush, on some level, is a bit of a liability to the Republican party, and they all know it....whether they choose to agree with it or not. None of the candidates are running on the coat-tails of the Dub-ya legacy. And, let's remember that the 2006 elections demonstrated a resounding message to what most of voting America thought about the Bush administration and policy. This, is just IMHO....an unknown like me.

I'd rather have Donald Trump for president instead of Bush... And he's right. Bush made this country and his own party a joke.

Not supporting Bush at all, but DOnald Trum needs to hide – that bad toupe. You'd think with all his money he might be able to at least afford a decent hat.

More advice. If this TV coffiured Looney-Tune wants to run for political office let him give it a try.

Much as i hate to side with Trump, truth be said he is right. A country, a nation, the world has been negatively affected by this President.

Butt out Trump!
Enough of the Bush Bashing. He is doing what the Democrats were to afraid to accomplish. That is to take the battle to our enemies.
If the Democrats win, you might as well get ready for the war to come to your door step. To pull out of that region will do nothing but to demonstrate weakness and extend our time it takes to bring those responsible to justice.

There are two places Bush could hide.

One is in Mexico, after all, he has done more for that country than ours.

Two, as an anchor on that fair and balanced network.

At least in either place, he wouldn't be heard from again.

Would Dr. Ron Paul please come to the front?

I respect Trump for his business successes but disagree with him regarding President Bush. He's brave, he's a vet and HE WAS ELECTED!! Get over it!!

God help us if Clinton gets in ... AGAIN....

Who really cares what Donald Trump say's?? Maybe his future wife?

After the USA elected Bush.. not once, but twice.. I don't think Donald Trump's comment is all that valid. Simply put. The general US electorate aren't all too bright to begin with. All it takes is some pretty lipstick to get any 500 lb gorilla elected to the Presidency. After all, it's not the president in control. It's the zookeepers behind the scenes keeping the President in check and trained. Most of all, they make sure to clean the the Pres' cage. Otherwise, the gorilla is likely to throw certain unsanitary objects at passers by.

Mr. Trump has an amazing grasp of the obvious!

Well, let's see! LANCE P. CORD, FT. WAYNE warned that Chelsea could be president in a few years after her mom. Let's think this over. That would be like JEB Bush running as well. If anything, Americans should break the "family affair" and find a moderate from either party that will take in the interests of the American people – not the family or friends of the family.

Donald trump is certainly entitled to an opinion as he is a citizen in The United States. He is way off base and disrespectful. he once again is thrusting himself in the spotlight. He has been a distraction and is generally out of step with the real world. maybe he should run for President. His slogan could be TRUMP IS A CHUMP!

For once the Duck is absolutely correct in his statement.
The Republicans with its Borrow & Spend wasteful policy; and its in-sensitive disregard for the nation treasure and blood in Iraq will doom the party into a permanent position for decades to come.
As a joe-sixpack, if I could I would have demanded my vote back from Bush.

NOW TRUMP IS A POLOTICAL ANALYST. HE THINKS BUSH IS ANOTHER ROSY O'DONALD. HE OUT TO STICK TO GOING BROKE ANDS DECLARING BANKRUPCY

wow, coming a little late to the party huh don?...he's just repeating what people have been saying for the last 2 years. there isn't a thinking person on earth that would put that man in the white house of any other elected position...he's just a bad joke.

Donald will do anything to get into the headlines...he thinks he's a rock star that needs any kind of good or bad press to sell his records....Paaallleassssssse! Take a chill pill dude. Are you jeoulous of the confused Spears?

I am not a big Trump fan, but the man has hit the nail on the head with this advice. The funny part about it is that the Republicans can't see the trees through the forest and will lose the 2008 presidential election for the same reasons they lost the House and Senate, STUPIDITY!

So be it. I hope we don't see another Republican lead congress. They will be lost in the desert for another 40 years as in 1954-1994. America's best years.

Donald who? Seriously, is this guy still yapping his trap? Take your own advice, fellow.

Donald Trump is a loser, nothing he has to say about current society is relevant or worth listening to. His biggest asset is his really bad hair. He doesn't have a clue, which is illustrated through his arguments with a failed actress as his biggest opponent. He is a pathetic washed up man who needs to just go back to being a quiet failure of a businessman, as no real businessman woud be caught dead in anything remotely like that stupid TV show.... DO us all a favor and fire yourself from public speaking. You aren't liked, you aren't revered, you are barely even tolerated.

I admire Donald Trump for his business savvy, but for all of that he is a most inarticulate speaker, he should either keep his mouth shut or hire a speaking coach!!! Stick to business!!!!

Hell yea Trump! Finally going after worthy prey, and no one is more deserving of high level criticism than the Carlyle Group, I mean the Bush Administration.

Donald Trump is a joke. He is a self promoting hideous loser. I can't stomach even watching him let alone listening to any advice or comments on current public affairs. He needs to go hide in his "GAWD" awful penthouse that he is so proud of....

Are you kidding me...Donald Trump giving political advice...is like him giving marriage advice...once she turns thirty trade her in...The Donald had trouble with his own companies for awhile until I believe someone else had to help (bankruptcy)...or he wrote a book and or created a reality show...give me a break and give the president some credit...if the democrats cannot win this one they never will...

Trump is a clown–you can see the eyepiece marks where his fake tan ends around his eyes–and he got his pants pulled down pretty well the last time he ran (though I'm sure Gary Trudeau would be grateful if he did again–such easy material). But the man knows how to market himself, and he knows a PR liability when he sees one. That's why he feels free going after little Georgie.

Trump is an idiot. Rosie O'Donnell could kick his butt.

I don't think "hiding" would help the Republicans in the next presidential election. There's no way that Bush can hide the huge mess that he's made and the taxpayer's money that he has squandered.

Why does anyone think that George W. Bush gives half a damn about who is elected president? His entire life has been about nothing but "me, Me, ME!" and now that he's succeeded in screwing up the biggest baseball team of them all, he's just going to bask in his own imagined glory and the adoration of those who are foolish enough to think he should be sanctified! It's all about him! The rest of us, including the next president, just do not matter to him.

It really doesn't matter who makes the statement that Bush is a liability to any republican candidate. The statement is true, it just happens to have come out of the mouth of Trump.

Why CNN feels that Trump's views on anything is news worth boggles my mind. Blitzer's interview of Trump is not going to be a ratings boom. He might as well have interviewed Rosie. Both people are irrelevant.

Bush is the reason I am no longer a Republican.

Not only is Bush a liability to the Republican Party, he's a liability to the USA. I can't wait for his 8 years to be over.

Ridiculous..The lemon-sucker face has not been in the press, so he is making up another story..he just needs press, to make his alter ego bigger...

Hey Donald...go suck another lemon!

When has trump been right about anything? Rosey wasn't to far off when she said everything he does ends up in bankrupcy.

If anyone one on CNN, or the demo party had a clue CNN would be beating FOx in ratings, and the Demo's would have a higher rating then 8 or something. Bush 36?

Not sure why the demotards think they have the pulse of america when all the facts show they are clueless. Like the all red election board save 3-4 blue states. hmmmm what does that mean? more Americans like republicans, bush, and the war? What do you know the majority voted for bush war, no taxes!

So like live with it and vote next time, other wise whine to your moma.

Instead of bashing the donald people should address the issues. Yes the guy has 0 credibility, so what? Character assassination doesn't address the issues of the day. Bush and the GOP are a sinking ship and the only thing that can save them is a sensational event.... 9/11 anyone? I mean that is Rudy's entire campaign isn't it?

Bush never listens to anything but the little voices in his head.

Donald is correct, though.

Oh Really thats wat you think Mr Trump? i think its not a money making business to be elected as a president

What made Trump's opinion relevant? Here is a guy that trumpets his accomplishments while concurrently dumping his casino's into bankruptcy and is unable to sell-out his Chicago development, despite screwing his "friends and families" investors – not such a brillant businessman despite his protestations otherwise.

By Bush's hiding as per Donald's suggestion, if its going benefit Guliani, Donald is under illusion. Hillary or Obama will crush any of the republican candidates in the debate. We need Guliani to win his primary and Donald to campaign for him.

I used to have so much respect for Donald Trump. I bought every book that he wrote, even when I was little. Now, I am embarassed to have them on my book shelf. The whole Rosie bit, and now Bush? Come on? Is it really necessary, when you have the stature that he does, to fight playground battles with someone like Rosie O'donnel?

I wish that I had kept the receipts from his books. Grow up Mr. Trump.

I must agree with him, to a certain point. There is one Republican candidate who stands head and shoulders above the rest, and I say this having believed they were on the wrong track most of my thirty years. Dr. Ron Paul has been accused of running on the wrong ticket, and for good reason! Please get the word out: There is hope for America! Thank you.

Donald Trump is irrelavant,,what a loser that guy is. I use kinda like him but who is he to think he can talk to a sitting president like that..I wish Bush throw him into Hiding for like 7-10yrs

What a farce...someone needs to tell Trump, "You're fired!"
And as for David from Boston, I would say you are the one who needs a visit from the clue-bird. I don't know if it's more funny or pathetic that you say the blue states, to include your state, have a higher average IQ when you can't even spell "Democratic," and mis-spell "new" (should be knew)!!
Oh, and if you're going to throw out blue state stats, why is it those same blue states tend to lead the nation in crime, homelessness and poverty?
Nonetheless, Trump needs to go back in the board room and stay in hiding himself!

Perhaps Bush can find some space under Trump's giant orange toupée?

YOU ARE RIGHT....COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER...THANKS DONALD!

Great insight Mr Trump. We are all becoming more aware of the evil nature of president bush. the man is toxic and is an evil present in the world. Surely the Democrats wi;ll wine in 2008.

If Bush is looking for a good hiding place, I would suggest under Donald’s hair.

CNN – the on-line tabloid!!

Stay tuned to see what Donald has to say about Rosie O'Donnell.

Wish the Donald would go into hiding.

Get your facts straight. Donald didn't go broke. He is a business man. He works harder than most of us. He has learned from many mistakes, but doesn't do them twice...

The Donald is entirely correct but I don't see why his opinion matters more than mine. Being rich and famous doesn't make a person right, it's just a coincidence that Mr. Trump believes Bush is as big a liability to the Republicans as 70% of the country does.

why should we care what Trump has to say about anything? It's not that I'm a Bush fan, but Trump is neither a politician nor a scholar. You wrote a non-story.

this idiot seems to think that becasue he has more money then most his opinion counts for more. Trump is a self promoting bigoted load mouth. He should stick to mud wrestling with Rosie O'Donnell.

Since when is Donald Trump an authority on politics? Trump needs to figure out how to manage his own business without going broke again. Listening to Donald Trump talk about politics is the equivalent of asking a Sunday golfer how to beat Tiger Woods.

And Donald Trump's opinion is insightful, relevant and newsworthy because...?

When did anyone start caring what Trump thinks?

SOMETIMES I WISH THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE FAMOUS OR WEALTHY WOULD JUST KEEP THE THOUGHTS THEY HAVE TO THEMSELVES!!!! THEY THINK THEY SPEAK FOR THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS THAT WORK HARD EVERY DAY TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY WORK. IN THEIR MINDS THE REST OF US HAVE NO THOUGHTS ON POLITICS OR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS!!!

Wow. Hot advice from the guy who made the comb-over is a fashion statement. President Bush, please take the Donald's advice.

If world events remain the same for the next year a Democrat will more than likely be elected.

If world events become worse in the next year a Republican might be elected.

Wow, the Donald ISN'T any smarter than the rest of us!

I new Donald was a wise man. But I would hope that the bible belt would get a clue and vote for the Demicratic party regardless if he goes into hiding or not. Why is it that the Blue states have a higher population and generally a higher average IQ?

As Donald Trump would say, the worst "deals" for the USA were made by Bush and his administration. It would be hard to disagree with Trump.

The Don knows what he is talking about!

Donald Trump should hide. Republicans might win due to Clinton winning the nomination for the democrats.

Oh Donald......How I wish YOU'D go and hide!

Doanld is not in any position to provide neither advise or comment to our U.S. president. His intent is to prepare a foot step into his day dream to become the future U.S. president by 2012... Is this a do-able job for him ?

Go Donald! Donald should run.

as hard as it is for me to admit it, Donald Trump is right on the money here. The question is, what Republican can win the White House? The lead candidate has alientated the very conservatives at that are the core of the party. I'm afraid that the next president will be another Clinton. And the one after that, 8 years later, could be too (Chelsea) if the Republicans don't get their act together very soon.
