He flew into the border town of Laredo in a private jet emblazoned with his name, keeping the harsh sunshine at bay with a white baseball hat with his slogan "Make America Great Again."
"There's nothing more important than what I'm doing," the former reality TV star said on arrival, calling illegal immigration "a tremendous problem."

"'I love Latinos,' says Trump at US-Mexico border"

This guy is unshakeable. Total hostility from the press and he's completely unfazed. Plus he's over the top vulgar. All that gold in his towers. Wutz not to luv?
Ya gotta love him.
And he doesn't let the dweebs from MSLSD or Univision push him around.
Last time we saw anything like this, some old guy said, "I am PATING for this microphone".
Trump would scare the shit out of our enemies, just like Reagan did, and that is something I like in a President. Hell, he scares me, and I think were on the same side.
Having a scary leader is dangerous most of the time unless you are in the unique position of being the world's preeminent superpower. Other nations have no hope of effectively protecting themselves from your might, so planning to remove you from that position is senseless. This leads to a safer world of nations. In our situation, weak leadership like we have now is much more dangerous. Other nations and especially your enemies have no fear of working against your interests, defying your pressures, or attacking your allies.
I'm not very fond of Trump. He's confused ideologically, I don't think he has high ethics, and I think he's truly a loose cannon in the way that Reagan only pretended to be. A badly needed side effect of a Trump administration would be to suddenly create a real Press in this country doing it's job. We might not even have to pay them to do it. Free political coverage of the highest caliber of investigative journalism would appear like magic overnight. Nothing he said would be taken at face value. Can you remember such a thing?
I don't think I can trust a Trump presidency, and unfortunately, right now it looks like all he will really do is give this election to Hillary, one way or another.
Baseball hat, Trump should make a stop into Houston and catch a game tonight. Oh, and bring a broom.
Have to agree with most of what bag says.

As for ethics, I don't know, but I wonder how much of some of his political stands in the past were business-based.
I also wonder if he looks around, sees the mess, and wants to do something about it before it all comes down.
He's got a couple of daughters IIRC and, if things really crash, I don't think even a lot of the rich will be spared.
YMMV
Listen, we are a long way away from having a Republican nominee. A long way. Until then, Trump is doing the party a lot of good. there's attention, there's energy, there's bluntness, there's combat with the media. It's a pretty good show, and it's making the staid ol' pols wake up and get their shit together.

That's a low blow ;)
I agree Haz. I appreciate his effect right now. I'm pretty fed up with politicians avoiding saying anything worth hearing and then apologizing when they do let the truth slip.
Trump is perfect for the silly season, keeping the focus on the right topics and forcing the media and the other GOP candidates to speak to those topics (and making the Dem candidates look out of touch for failing to address those topics), and mainly for entertainingly pissing off all the right people.
Also, the rest of the GOP could learn from his ability to blow right through the fictional conventional wisdom as portrayed by the media and speak directly to people. Reagan did that, too.
One day I like him, the next I'm highly suspicious of his ulterior motives.
I'll give him credit for his flip flops. He's flopped to the correct side. Our open borders and our illegal immigrant problem is THE problem.
If he runs as Perot II, it's over. Might as well crown the corrupt Clinton right now.
As Ilana Mercer put it, "Trump's strength is that he keeps coming back to the stuff of life: business, economics, making a living. Politics is the stuff that kills all that."
Wutz not to luv?
His epic narcissism, his profligate grandiosity and multiple bankruptcies, his grotesque political dishonesty, his pseudo-charitable play-show non-profits that make a mockery of charity?
He's loathsome. Couldn't y'all find Lucifer incarnate to back for a presidential run instead? I suppose the Devil wouldn't be a natural-born citizen - he was never born, I guess.
Trump des Willens
Lots not to love, for sure.
The galactic impervious narcissism, for one.
Sound like any other highly unlikely outside candidate for President?
It impresses impressionable people, including the media.
As I said: "confused ideologically", and appearantly historically as well.

Great. Dueling cult leaders, neither of whom can be bothered with inconvenient facts, and a governing establishment that refuses to get off the gravy train.
