Trump To Attempt Explaining Away Past Controversies...

Rational Nation USA
Purveyor of Truth


According to a report in The Washington Post presumptive GOP presidential nominee is planning to rehabilitate his battered image in the coming weeks by publicly addressing head-on some of the most controversial episodes of his campaign, Now there's an event one can barely wait for. Mr. Trump explaining away his many questionable and quite often offensive statement. This is one you certainly don't want to miss. Just be sure to have an ample supply of popcorn and beer on hand. It's bound to be a Really Great Show.

Hopefully we receive some data on how many gullible people actually buy his explanations. Other than those who have already bought his gibberish.


Trump


Trump put his tact to a test during an interview with The Washington Post here Monday afternoon. Unprompted, he delivered a five-minute soliloquy attempting to explain himself for making wild arm and hand gestures at a rally last November to discredit New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski. The act was widely seen as mocking the journalist’s physical disability and has been featured in numerous ads and videos designed to savage Trump.

“I would never say anything bad about a person that has a disability,” Trump said, leaning forward at his office desk. “I swear to you it’s true, 100 percent true.. . .Who would do that to [the] handicapped? I’ve spent a lot of money making buildings accessible.”

Trump then satirically reenacted the scene, his arms jerking all around, and said he was trying to show “a guy who grovels — ‘Oh, oh, I didn’t say that. I didn’t say that.’ That was the imitation I was doing.”

“Now,” he concluded, “is that a believable story?”

Whether voters believe it could help determine if Trump can overcome a staggering popularity deficit with the general electorate, especially among women. Trump and his advisers know that improving his standing with white women in particular may be the key to defeating likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in battleground states such as Ohio and Virginia.

Take it away Mr. Trump. The nation anxiously awaits your explanations.

    Melania Trump wants to be clear: Her husband, Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, is "not Hitler."

    “We know the truth. He’s not Hitler.

    Oh WOW! Thank you Melania! We're all so relieved that Donnie isn't Hitler! So nice of you to assure us that your overweight idiot husband isn't Hitler. That makes us happy.

    And your husband has assured us all that because you have lovely huge tatas, you're going to be the GREATEST First Lady. You'll be the best First Lady with the biggest breasts! Yay America!

    The Trumps will bring "class" to the Whitish House.

    Nice copy and paste APP.

    Furthermore there is plenty of childish triteness happening in the 2016 GOP campaign for the nomination by the presumptive frontrunner to keep us all chuckling.

    My guess is Melania Trump would do fine as a First Lady. Other than that this weblog doesn't give a bunnies behind about Mrs. Trump. The candidate is the issue.

    "A Proud Progressive" copied that comment from someone at my blog who calls him/herself "The Wank Files." APP has been copying and pasting from my blog for weeks now. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that "A Proud Progressive" is probably one of Lisa's suck-up boyfriends, either Radical Redass or Rusty Chucklenuts. No progressive would ever do such a stupid childish thing, but Lisa's lap dogs are famous for stealing people's IDs and comments. It takes a special sort of meathead to spend its time doing this. But just remember that whoever this fake "Proud Progressive" is, he or she has some serious mental problems. So have some pity for the poor idiot. (There's even a "fake" fake "A Proud Progressive" floating around. What a world.

    As for your post, RN, it will be interesting to see how Trump wiggles out of owning up to his own words. We know he's a liar because he's constantly being fact-checked, and we know he's insulted everyone on the planet except his wife and children . He's really a piece of work. He's also the most disliked candidate to ever run for the presidency.

    Trump met with Kissinger, the 'senior foreign policy expert'. We suspect
    they discussed Angie Dickenson's attributes and why Cambodia should be
    invaded again.

Taxing the Sale of Your Home

BY: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism Liberty -vs- Tyranny From the inbox at RN USA . I am sure there are many who remain unaware of this provision of ObamaCare. E-mail is reproduced here in full with appropriate linkage. Do you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home etc. When did this happen? It's in the health care bill. Just thought you should know. SALES TAX TO GO INTO EFFECT 2013 (Part of HC Bill) REAL ESTATE SALES TAX So, this is "change you can believe in"? Under the new health care bill - did you know that all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax? The bulk of these new taxes don't kick in until 2013 if you sell your $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to mess with the retiring generation who often downsize their homes. Does this stuff make your November and 2012 vote

Progressive Fascism... at It's Worst

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism If you have long wondered about just what it might be that is part of the the problem with America today you need look no further than radicalized progressivism. Or more accurately stated liberal fascism. One of the most glaring examples of liberal fascism I have seen recently can be found at This progressive website . It would be almost scary were it not so laughingly irrational, and shrouded in the thick fog of progressivism. The scum in Wisconsin's Senate chamber killed democracy today by voting for the controversial voter ID bill. The good people of Wisconsin are outraged, Democrats are outraged, and the fucking Nazi's in Wisconsin are on the march. They know their days are numbered so they are passing every measure they can to insure the voters of Wisconsin are tilted in their favor. This is fascism at it's finest, it's beyond despicable... { Read More } It is my guess the author

The Future of American Manufacturing...

Image
by  Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Not an economist, I cannot pontificate profusly about various economic models. Nor can I pretend to argue exactly what may be the correct model for any given business or household to follow. Sure I have my beliefs as to what might work best based on my experiences, and from a common sense point of view it is hard to argue with frugal concepts of spending and living within your means, building a nest egg for the future, and having a small "rainy day" fund to fall back on in times of uncertainty. It all makes sense in a simple and direct sort of way. The nation's fiscal house is  a mess. We have ever growing debt, the government continues to spend like druken sailors, we can't seem to find our way away from costly wars or conflicts, we continue to see our manufacturing base shrink in America as we continue to export jobs overseas. Think about it people, It'ws absolutly nuts what we have done to our manufacturing base and pr

Shared Scarcity versus Renewed Prosperity

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism Sen. Scott Brown has announced his intention to support Paul Ryan's budget plan . This comes as a surprise as Sen. Brown is a moderate to liberal republican from  Massachusetts, one of the nations most liberal states. I'm content to chalk it up to the Senator finally coming to his senses. On to the real point of today's post. Rep. Paul Ryan, Chairman of the House Budget Committee delivered a speech to the Economic Club of Chicago highlighting the very real {and serious} fiscal issues facing America today. In a most compelling way Ryan drew the contrast between the progressives {democratic party} vision of shared scarcity and the vision of renewed prosperity shared by the more fiscally responsible conservatives. Rep. Ryan's speech for the most part will be overlooked by the liberal government/media complex. His speech will be greatly maligned by the progressive/collectivist sites that p

Two Quotes to Consider

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism The following two quotes were e-mailed to me by a reader of Rational Nation USA. They were taken from a small southern publication called "Tidbits." I thought perhaps my readers might enjoy them. "We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one further." My take is that all those many billions of people through out history believed just as firmly in their gods as many do today. So who is right and who is wrong? It doesn't really make any difference to me.     Richard Dawkins, Evolutionary Biologist "A conservative is a man who believes that nothing should be done for the first time." Atributed to Alfred Wiggams As the RN USA reader commented,  "Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in between the true conservative and those in public office today who call themselves conservatives." They have a point! Enj

The Continuing Saga of the Debt Ceiling Crises

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism Liberty -vs- Tyranny The President, Congressional Democrats, and Republicans are action like spoiled brats. It's kinda like watching a child who throws a temper tantrum because they wanted a red lollipop and they were given a green one. There is every reason to blame both parties, as well as the President, for this modern game of brinkmanship playing out over the debt crises. In the event talks produce nothing and we default on our obligations the responsibility rests with both parties and the President. They, and I mean in unison, will bear the responsibility for the fallout both nationally and internationally for their inability to cut the deal. It is obvious that all concerned are interested more in their own agenda than the interest of the American people, or anything else for that matter. Simply disgusting... ...
