Author Topic: Trump praises obama in 2009 (Read 3863 times)

In 2009, Trump published a book with a very Trumpian title: “Think Like a Champion.” In that book, he praised Obama’s “amazing” and “phenomenal” accomplishments. “Barack Obama proved that determination combined with opportunity and intelligence can make things happen — and in an exceptional way,” Trump gushed.

I'm predicting this will be the straw that breaks teh camel's back - I think many trump fans are going to look at Trump's praise of Obama’s “amazing” and “phenomenal” accomplishments, and will move back to a Mitt or someone else. At this point, Trump is a lib, outright.

Who cares Trump is just stirring up publicity for himself

I don't think this is a big deal. What he said is true. Obama's accomplishments of becoming president after not having a regular full-time job and winning the Nobel Peace Prize after having done squat are remarkable.

The fact he has been a lousy president doesn't contradict those facts.

And he is not going to win the Republican nomination.

Probably not. in fact, showing his financials seems to be a huge issue for him. If he's worth "many times the 2.7 bil that Forbes says".... well, smells like some bullshit to me.

Trump's like a little kid talking about how he's richer than mitt, he ran more businesses, how many of mitt's businesses failed. I don't know why he'd poison the GOP candidate pool like that.

On purpose, maybe?

i don't agree with everything trump is about so it doesn't bother or surprise me that he said a few nice things about the kenyan back when most of the country stupidly fell for the obama bandwagon. what does bother me is that even with trump running about trashing obama now after he's seen what he's done to this country here comes 240 waving the pro-socialist/obama flag with a few comments he scrounged around the net looking for to scrape a few points away from trump literally nailing the big picture problems in america.

you carry water for the liberal agenda and then claim to be an american libertarian. you should admit that you are a socialist but have very specific ideas for which socialist ideals you yourself should have to adhere to. are you afraid to admit which side you're really on?

BIG DEAL!! That was 2 years ago. Now with double-digit unemployment, high gas prices, a third war, ObamaCare, and a slew of other Obama failure, Trump sees that this guy didn't live up to his billing.

Trump gave Obama the benefit of the doubt. Now, there's no doubt that he's a FLOP!!

if forbes has trump at 2.7 billion... i'm betting it's right around there. This whole "i'm worth MANY TIMES that"... oh, Fortune just missed it, and he's at 15 billion? come on.

The fact he keeps bringing up the dates, how long he can run before he has to open books, etc... and the fact it's even an issue because he keeps talking about how much richer he is than mitt. I dunno, I love trump and read 'art of the deal' probably 20 years ago, always loved the apprentice, etc... but I think he's seriously immature. A grown man bragging because "i'm richer than mitt!"

Not to mention 240 claiming the Bushes were in on 911 but saying he wants Jeb as POTUS.

333386 might tell you that obama was NOT doing a good job in 2009.

but, trump thinks obama was, it seems.

Either way, every 5 minutes we're learning that Trump is a liberal. It's taht simple. Repubs dig him because he's undermining obama's legitimacy with the birther stuff. But if you throw out the birther stuff (which trump seems to be doing by claiming it's not his primary issue), you get a guy trying to explain why he's more conservative than everyone else. his record, his own words, say otherwise.

i know that man.
i'm just hoping, on the small chance that the liberal birther trump is in the running, you cast your vote for Ron Paul or bachmann instead.

Trump practically melted on George stephanololis when pressed on any issue. You think that shit will fly with world leaders? Trump's used to have people kiss his ass all day long. Guess what? At the G20, that shit won't fly. You scream and slam shit there, and the dollar gets dropped and we're in WWIII. Bachmann, RPaul and others might not have cool punchlines like Trump, but they understand how the world works.

Fine. I'm just telling you, at this point Trump could meltdown daily and he still has my vote over muBarack.

"Think Like a Champion" was published on April 4, 2009, which means it was completed weeks or months before that date. In other words, Obama's presidency hadn't even started yet.

Don't you remember all the legislation in the first weeks of his presidency?

Trump seems to remember it - and loves it, based upon his writings.

There's no need to argue it, really. Maybe a RINO gives the GOp their best bet. And you aren't going to find a bigger lifetime dem/converted RINO in the race than Trump!

You guys voted mccain, romney (primary) in 2008, right? So you love RINOs, we get that! So in that case, Trump 2012, why not?

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

You bring up obama's commie grandfather from 40 years ago... yet Trump kneepadding obama in 2009 isn't relevant?

Epic double standard. Please, tell us the 'statute of limitations' on being an Obama supporter or HIlary donor? Cause if Bill Ayers matters from 25 years ago, then oh yes, Trump liberal tendencies in 2009 sure matter.

We've gone full circle now, coach. You're now defending Trump for being a liberal by saying 2009 was so long ago. You see that, right? lol.

He doesn't , he is a grade A+ MORON. The possibility that he is one of the low information voters who form the base of tarts has yet to dawn on him.

Maybe coach doesn't care what trump said in 2009.

Maybe he WILL care what trump said in 2015. Yes, July 2015. Just 2 days ago, when he said the illegals can stay, even though they are already breaking the law by being here.

Trump finally showed his true colors on every issue. He's a liberal rino.
