Donald Trump in Vegas: 'Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people'
Donald Trump dealt a series of F-bombs during a speech Thursday night in Las Vegas where he condemned the president specifically and policymakers as a whole.
"Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people," the billionaire told an audience of approximately 1,000 people at the Treasure Island hotel and casino on the Las Vegas strip hosted by several Republican women's groups.
The real estate mogul and television producer continued his battle cry of taking oil from countries after we have defeated them in battle.
"In the old days, when you won the war, it was yours," Trump said, earning applause from the crowd. "When we win a war … we leave with nothing."
Regarding Asia, Trump said they should be honoring the United States with tributes as well.
"I'd say to South Korea, 'All those televisions you sell us, all the billions you make — we're going to protect you and make sure you're in good shape, but you're going to pay for it,'" he proclaimed. "You know something, they would do it in two minutes."
And China? Trump says there's no benefit trying to be a good neighbor environmentally if halfway around the world the most-favored nation is mucking up the air.
Meanwhile he stood firm on his stance about levying a 25% tax on imports from the sleeping dragon while spewing an expletive.
The salty language didn't end there.
Concerning oil prices, the New York businessman complained that there isn't anyone in power willing to say no to OPEC when they raise the price of gasoline. "We have nobody in Washington that sits back and said, you're not going to raise that ****ing price," Trump said.
When a woman in the crowd shouted that he should run for president, Trump, who has said that he will make an announcement regarding that topic on the season finale of his television show on NBC, told the woman that he will soon make her very happy.
Trump then made an uncharacteristic observation, namely that he might lose at something. "There is a really good chance that I won't win because of one of these blood-sucking politicians," Trump conceded.
Regarding the birth certificate, which had been a major talking point of Trump's in recent months, the boisterous billionaire was still taking credit a day after President Obama released his long-form Hawaiian document.
"Hillary Clinton tried to get him to do it, Bill Clinton tried to get him to do it, John McCain, who's a wonderful guy, tried to get him to do it, nobody could get him to do it and he did it because we went after him hard, were tough negotiators like this country needs," Trump said.

Truth is... what he's saying is 100 percent correct!!
He's got my vote if he proposes evening the playing field with China and India by severly taxing imports from those nations! Even the ones from American companies! That would make it competitive and allow those companies to bring jobs back to the US.
Also, he needs to stop allowing the country to be over-run with Indian's Latinos, Chinese and other immigrants that the past several administrations have allowed in order to take jobs from American's right here on American soil!!!
TRUMP 2012!!!!!!

I don't value the ability for a person to judge another person's intelligence if the person making that judgment wears an accessory that proves they have no intelligence or good judgment whatsoever.

He is biggest fool ever. He needs to be kicked out of any contract NBC has and thrown out from any civic arene. Him and Sarah will become a good presidential team for 2012! Both are racists, and both open their mouths before thinking. Both are real losers!

Somebody put this dog on a leash or else he'll bite someone pretty soon.

This guy is almost as scary as Palin. Since I am a businesswoman I found the Celebrity Apprentice interesting - I no longer will waste my time and hope others who feel similarly will express themselves by NOT watching it.

Our "stupid" leaders were elected and chosen from among the "stupid" population. Besides, appearing on a reality TV series doesn't say much about Mr. Trump's intelligence. Only a true retard would go out in public with their hair looking like that.

That picture of Trump says it all.

"Our leaders are stupid " and how about including those listed in REVELATION ch 21.8. HI Donald, welcome to 2011 and the time soon to be as it is written in REVELATION ch 20.12.....

Our leaders are stupid but you make no difference Trump. Don't even think about running for president. You would put the final nail in the coffin for this country. I don't support Obama but I'd vote for him over you for sure.

and if we want to increase the "stupid factor" by 100 times, we will elect the likes of Donald Trump to the presidency. He would destroy our country and make us the laughing stock of the world. Maybe he should ask Lindsey Lohan to be his running mate???

A convention full of imbeciles?
Why is the Republican National Convention kicking off so early?

It's awfully stupid to throw words like "stupid" around, especially a day after your theory of Kenyan citizenship has been demolished by a long-form certificate of live birth. Forrest Gump had it right: Stupid is as stupid does.
Not that Trump is "stupid." Some of the things he espouses might work. Maybe our side should be playing hardball a little harder. Maybe we should be pushing every partner we have for better deals than the ones were getting.
But if that was the message, it didn't get heard. Trump "F'd" it all up with "F-bombs" everywhere. Nobody can examine what he had to say because the way he said it was news. Whatever message Trump was trying to deliver, it simply got buried by his vocabulary. That, by the way, is very "stupid."

Donald is an ass... an egotistical ass.

America is a wonderful Country and we American's are also a very forgiving society for the most part. Mr. Trump on the other hand is NOT, nor has he ever been a remorseful individual. We can go back to the 1970's when the racist Trump decided to charge more rental fees for non-whites...than whites. When the Department of Justice brought Trump to Court he continued his language of bigotry with a smile and a wink. On the View several weeks ago he let his bigotry out. Mr. Trump is a coward hiding behind his money. He engages in schoolyard behavior at will. He truly is an embarrassment to the human community. Mr. Trump has proven by his action(s) what he is; and it smells!

Our leaders are stupid people? This coming from a pompus, arogant, egocentric,daddys money, out of touch, war mongaring, megalomaniac?
Wow your insane ranting and raving got PRESIDENT Obama to show his birth certificate proving he was an honest honorable AMERICAN citizen. What an accomplishment.
So now you want to brand him a Muslim? What if he is? Where in the constitution, laws of the land or anywhere in the world, does it say a Muslim, the largest religion in the world, can not be president, YOU ASS!

I would vote for him!!!!

Even if this is right, and I think it is, it was a well... stupid thing to say it.

As a screenwriter, I have to thank Donald Trump for his generosity. Everywhere he goes, he just delivers up new material. He's a stimulus program for writers.

Awesome speech. You 'people' commenting didn't even watch it, so don't even try to reply because you're that pathetic.

Pot, Kettle who does he think he is kidding? I am trying to remember the last time I saw a picture of Trump where his mouth was not open...
Abraham Lincoln once famously said that it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and prove it. Words the Donald should take to heart I think.

Donald should release his grades from primary school, and his high school grades ... if he went.

Wow! We now have celebrity big mouth from Alaska, a wanna-be from Minnesota, an anarchist from Texas and now a business person who went bankrupt in New York previously. Seems that all these failures have nothing but hot air to spew forth to really pollute the air and airwaves. God up us all!
